Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the NH State Geoart Series. The coordinates are fake; you must solve the puzzle below to obtain the final coordinates. The caches are placed along the 14.8 mile, dirt Bog Dam Road (also known as the Kilkenny Loop Road) in Berlin, NH. The dirt road is is in great shape, but the road is gated from the end of November to the beginning of May. Check the WMNF website for road closure. Note that all the caches are winter friendly and within 20' of the road – easy P&Gs.

Smallest Towns in NH.

Errol is the 8th smallest town in NH and is located in the east-central section of Coos County. Errol was granted by Governor John Wentworth to Timothy Ruggles and others in 1774, the name taken from James Hay, the 15th Earl of Errol. In 1789, proprietors of the Errol grant petitioned the General Court that towns between Conway and Errol be required to pay for "a good connecting road." The legislature approved the measure in 1781, mandating what is today Route 16. A winter trade route to Andover, Maine was built in 1804, connecting Errol to Portland by what is now Route 26. The first settlers arrived at Errol in 1806, and by 1820 the population was 36. It was incorporated in 1836. The population was 291 at the 2010 census with a density of 4.2 sq./mi.

The puzzle:  44 26.54Z  71 18.241
