Geocache Description:

A cache in Northampton County on Virginias Eastern shore!

'Clam Town' is known world wide for... you guessed it - growin' clams! This place has a small (population 300), unincorporated, waterfront village on Parting Creek in Northampton County, on Virginia's Eastern Shore. The village developed as a deepwater port during the 18th and 19th centuries whose major products were clams, scallops and oysters. Although the seafood industry has declined in recent decades, during the past several years some of the local watermen have begun "aquaculture" businesses in which they raise small clams in indoor tanks, "plant" them in local waters, and then "harvest" them at maturity. This process relies on the clean waters of Parting Creek to provide the proper environmental conditions for clam production. The quality of this water has been threatened by nearby residential development and the prospect of a regional wastewater treatment plant that would discharge treated effluent into the creek. Enjoy the large elevated bird watching deck! It is very beautiful here! Be sure to bring along your camera and as always if you can please try to cache in and trash out! thanks for visiting the "Eastern Shore Special"
