Ground Zero - Bartlett, NH Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Hipointer and Capiti: This cache has been in the field for 14 years and was of the early Ground Zero caches. Over the years Groundspeak kept changing the way they computed Ground Zero for a Town and these type of puzzle caches fell out of favor. This one now also has home owner issues. It is no longer possible to reach this cache without crossing private property. The homeowner doesn't like people using or crossing his private road. So it is with some regret I have decided to archive this one.

There are many routes to this cache. All involve bushwhacking. The bushwhacking may be rough in spots depending on the route chosen. You may encounter some hiking trails, woods roads or snowmobile trails that may help. Please respect private property and landowners rights. DO NOT DRIVE UP THE PRIVATE ROAD.
