Geocache Description:

At intersection of Rt 14 and Rt. 3 Gravel pull off located on route 3, just watch the traffic.

Small rubbermaid container containing the usual stuff. Lots of traffic at this intersection

During the War Between the States, many small forts were built to defend strategic crossroads to help in the defense of the Confederate capital. One of these forts is in Mathews County, and became known as ‘Fort Nonsense.”

Several hundred men built Fort Nonsense under the supervision of Mr. W. Dawson Soles. The fort failed, but its remains can still be seen. Mr. Soles, who visited the fort after soldiers had wrecked it, remarked, My! What a piece of nonsense! – and the fort had its name.
