Geocache Description:


Unfortunately, the original cache placed at this rest stop was not maintained and was archived. Since caches are not allowed to be adopted anymore, I decided to place another one close to the original location. I have named it a “ghost” since it is hidden in the same way with the same type of container. Bring your own pen and take a few minutes to stretch your legs to get this one. The cache will hold small swag and trackables.

This geocache is located at the Smyrna Rest Stop of Delaware Route 1. You can also avoid the toll of Route 1 and access the rest stop via US 13. This is a very popular route for getting to the coastal areas of Delaware and Maryland. The location begged for a cache. There is no toll issue getting on and off Route 1.

This is a nice stop. There are picnic areas, playground equipment and nice landscaping and gardening. There are also restrooms, vending machines and, during the day, an information center.

According to early history, Smyrna was first settled prior to the American Revolution on the southern bank of Duck Creek near the fork of Green’s Branch. In 1716, this tiny village was first named “Salisbury;” however, it was also known to its inhabitants as “Duck Creek.” Duck Creek soon became a thriving community of merchant vessels. Along with shipping grain, lumber, peaches, and eventually fertilizer, shipbuilding became a prominent business. Two major thoroughfares formed what was known as “Duck Creek Crossroads” and later came to be called the “Four Corners” of the Town. In 1806, the Delaware Assembly changed the name of the town to “Smyrna.”
