Geocache Description:

Cache is in the middle of flat, uninhabited gameland about 2ft off the ground.

By NC law, you can face a $2000 fine and 6 months in jail for each carnivorious plant (Pitcher Plant, Venus Fly Trap, Sundew, or each seed that you take. You can buy these plants for just a couple of dollars. If you think you want to grow one of these plants, please don't poach them.
Directions to Cache; Park at Topsail Baptist Church on Route 17 and enter Holly Shelter by Lodge road with the orange bar gate near the parking lot. The gate is usually closed from April 1 to September 1. When the gate is closed you can walk or bike in to the cache. Proceed NW up Lodge Rd for about 4-4 1/2 miles to the intersection of Lodge, Tram and Grassy Rd. The cache is in a watertight bright orange plastic container about the length of a pointer finger and the width of a thumb. Cache contains paper for noting date/name/etc. Bring your own pen. Be on the lookout for animals, birds and hunters.
As a treat look across Lodge Rd in the ditch on the East side of Grassy Rd and you'll find many carnivorous 'pitcher plants'.
Hunters may be present during hunting season(Sept-Mar), and the roads can be a challenge when wet. Hyperlinks to maps and info about Holly Shelter: (visit link)

The following text has been added by NCreviewer since the CO hasn't logged on in almost 2 years.

Effective immediately per the director of the WRC: A new policy will restrict geocaching during the Youth Turkey Season (April 4 – April 10) and the regular Turkey season (April 11 – May 9). Geocaching will be prohibited during these times. Geocachers will still be able to use Holly Shelter Game Lands on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday as this particular game lands is a three day per week hunting area (Monday, Wednesday and Saturday). Stone’s Creek game lands is a six day per week hunting, meaning only Sunday would be open to Geocaching. This has not been extended to the fall hunting seasons currently. Please advise the Geocaching community of this by attaching it to any of the geocaches that may be on Stone’s Creek or Holly Shelter game lands. We don’t wish to have any geocachers issued any paperwork at the minimum and absolutely don’t want anyone to get injured.
