Take a Break Traditional Geocache

This Hopkinton trail segment begins at the intersection of Kryzaniak Rd. and Spring St. just outside of Contoocook village.   There is a small parking space a short distance up Kryzaniak Rd. on the left side. Otherwise you can park at the Hopkinton town library lot on Houston St. and cross several athletic fields for more than a half a mile to reach the cache.  (There is another cache located on the library grounds: Name a good book by JMASCI.)  

  You are almost half way through this section of the trail.  Time to find another cache.  This one is small to medium size.  It is camo covered.  It is a few feet off the trail.  Someone with sharp eyes might even spy it from the trail.  Further past the cache on the small path, it appears that teenagers might have used the woods as a hide out.  We found a driver's license and a tin space gun, along with a bit of garbage. I left the space gun for others to enjoy. The driver's license was sent to the State Police.

 Eventually this 1-mile trail is expected to be a portion of the Concord to Lake Sunapee biking trail.This section, as are most of the anticipated sections, follows an old railroad bed. That of course means a wide and level path. Good for walking, biking and horses.
