Geocache Description:

Welcome to our first multi/puzzle cache. This is a three stage puzzle type cache which will take you to several locations around Beaufort, SC. The final cache is an ammo can, located on public land. The above coordinates will not take you to the cache. Instead, they will bring you to a parking lot close to stage 1. Parking is metered Monday – Saturday.



Stage 1: Visit the Beaufort water front park, located close to a “park and grab” cache:
