Leaf-Peeper: I am no longer an active geocacher. As such, I am not able to monitor and maintain my geocaches, so it's probably best that I archive them.

Geocache Description:

This cache is located within the Joe English Reservation, a 600 acre conservation area in Amherst, NH. It is an easy 10 minute walk from the parking area and is suitable for children. A small paved parking area is located just off of Chestnut Hill Road. Turn onto Horace Greely Road, just north of the Amherst Transfer Station on Rte 101. Drive past Brook Road and then further onward where Chestnut Hill road eventually veers off to the left.

This geocache is dedicated to my wonderful new “Honey”. We met just 2 months prior to my placing this cache here. Somewhat oddly, we met each other on a blind date while geocaching with friends. We’ve been together since and yeah, we’re definitely feeling that we’re on top of the world. And now were happily married! Geocaching; who would have known?

The trail leaves the parking area and follows a short distance along a right of way into the reservation. Stay to the right at the first trial junction (#20) and onto the overlook area. The listed coordinates will bring you to a sitting bench at the overlook. Take a break here and enjoy the scenery with your loved one, be it your honey, your kids or maybe your dog. If it’s a breezy day, and if someone hasn’t stolen it, you might hear the small wind chime I placed in a tree not far away.

The last 3 digits of the coordinates for the final cache are located on the back of the sitting bench, in two locations (just in case). The final cache is located further on down the trail, just a minute or two away and about 100 feet off the trail.

>>> Update: We’ve been informed that the bench where the coordinates are located for the final cache has fallen to pieces on the ground. For now, the coordinates listed are for the final cache.

After you’ve found the cache, continue on down the trail to loop back to the parking area. A 0.9 mile walk (total, including finding the cache), it’ll take just a few minutes longer to get back to the parking area this way. Turn left @ junctions #16, 17 & 19 and right at junction #20 back to the parking area on Chestnut Hill Road.

Enjoy the scenery, but don’t forget the bug spray & water bottle. Check for ticks when you get back to the car.
