A roadside grab on an old section of old Route 9. This is now Notch Road but Route 9 used to come through here.
You are looking for a painted pill bottle on top of a large rock, maybe winter friendly, but probably not really.
This is a dead end road that ends in front of a house. There is a place to turn around before you get to the bridge to the house.
From reviewing Vermont Agency of Transportation map archives it appears that this section of Route 9 was rerouted between 1955 and 1962. Route 9 traveled closer to the City Stream up the mountain from here, well below the current roadway, then crossed the river on a bridge, now gone) before crossing the existing bridge over a side brook and passing this location. The new road bypassed the old bridge location by going through the rock cut above here and over a new bridge. 1952-1955 AOT Map.
This is fourth in a growing series of caches marking old sections of Route 9 between Brattleboro and Bennington.
