Geocache Description:


CONGRADULATIONS!

After many miles and several detours you have come to the end. Will you make it or have you been eliminated?


GOOD LUCK FROM DATAFISH

THE AMAZING RACE!

Welcome to The Amazing Race – Lenoir County, NC (T.A.R. – L)!  This is a series of geocaches that is roughly based on the CBS Television program, “The Amazing Race”.  On the show, teams race around the globe solving puzzles and performing tasks in order to get to the final finish line. At each leg of the race, the last team to arrive is eliminated from the race. In this version, teams will race around parts of Lenoir County in an effort to gather clues which will lead you to the final elimination station. 

This is the last leg of the race. THE POSTED COORDINATES ARE NOT CORRECT. YOU MUST SOLVE THE CLUES IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE RACE. If you have not completed the previous ones, please start at the beginning . Additionally, all rules for the race can be found here .

SPECIAL NOTES:

  1. Although you do not necessarily have to do all of the geocaches in order,  it adds an excitement and spirit to the game, and will help you from doing to much back tracking.
  2. While this is a race, I expect everyone to be safe and abide all laws (including speed limits)
  3. This race is intended to take you around areas of Lenoir County. While I stayed on Highways as much as possible, there are several back roads in the race which connect highways.
  4. Each leg of the race will have a section on the web site called "Route Info". This area is used to note anything special about that particular geocache.
  5. Except for the detours, all of the cache in the race are meant to be easily found (level 2 and under). This is to keep the race moving quickly and smooth.
  6. You will need to gather clues from each leg of the race in order to discover the location of the elimination station (the finish line)

THE FINAL CHALLENGE: (note: The clue # equals the leg of the race where the clue was found. Use your passport to help you solve the challenge)

NOTES CONCERNING THIS LEG OF THE RACE: The Elimination Station!

  1. The posted Coordinates ARE NOT the location to the Elimination Station. You must solve the challenge above to recieve the coordinates.
  2. Watch out for all the Muggles (including ones passingby on the road)
  3. If you get a chance, take a walk down by the bridge. If you look to the top, you will see the high water mark from Hurricane Floyd
  4. Follow the corrdinates. There is a lot of poison ivy near the river, but the cache is locacted in a clean area.
  5. In your log below, please record the amount of time it took you to complete the race.
