Geocache Description:

The above coordinates will take you to the parking location. This is a mini-puzzle cache. You will have to do your homework first to find the cache. The cache is an ammo can well hidden and camoflagued. (PLEASE.....return the cache as you found it and try to keep this cache well hidden to avoid it being found by muggles)

Please everyone...No need to climb up any hills and if you go to our parking coords you dont have to pay a toll and you will have a nice level walk to cache

December 31, 2005 was the last day that drivers in New Hampshire could use their NH TOLL TOKENS. As of January 1, 2006 the E-Z pass system went into effect making all those tokens a new part of NH history. To preserve this part of NH history, we have place this cache. Since this is a TOLLBOOTH cache.....you are requested to bring a Token to PAY your TOLL ! (of course if you were smart and turned them all in then you can't PAY YOUR TOLL, but everyone is still welcome to search for this booth & sign the log). Travel bugs are welcome to stop at this cache. You do not need to exchange misc items but of course you may. To get to the coords for the cache you will need to research NH highway tokens (google) to answer the next two questions:

1) What year did the NH Turnpikes first use Tokens ? 19bc

2) What year was the recently retired 25 cent token (that replaced the "B" token) introduced? 19yx

N 43 05.2bc W 071 28.1yx Now .... to get the correct north coordinates you must add .049 to get the correct west coordinates you must minus .066 Have fun :-) First, Second & Third to Find prizes are in the cache otherwise there is something for everyone that pays their toll ! ( which we will try to keep going as long as we can). We will also be placing the "New Hampshire Tokens RETIRED" travel bug in this cache. Please no pictures of the actual cache. Please rehide the cache as you found it to insure that it will not be muggled !!!
