Geocache Description:

From this cache location you get a great view of Naulakha, also known as The Rudyard Kipling House, it is a Shingle Style home in Dummerston, Vermont where author Rudyard Kipling wrote Captains Courageous. Kipling also wrote The Jungle Books, A Day's Work, and The Seven Seas, and did work on Kim and The Just So Stories here. Kipling had named the house after the Naulakha Pavilion, situated inside Lahore Fort.

This cache is a bison tube hanging out along Kipling Road at a spot that will give you a great picture of Naulakha, the home built for Rudyard Kipling in Dummerston, Vermont, it is one of the finer examples of the Shingle style in the state....

Located on eleven acres off a town road, at the edge of a meadow with a hillside behind, the estate is ideally situated in its naturalistic setting, with its view of mountains and valleys which spread before it to the east...

Kipling often referred to the view of the Wantastiquet mountain range and Mount Monadnock peaking through the clouds and rising "like a giant thumb-nail pointing heavenward", to Kipling, Naulakha came to symbolize all the positive qualities of rural Vermont, with its peacefulness and solitude, which have attracted writers and artists to the state for years.
