Geocache Description:

Hidden in large parking lot...

There is some history to the location of this cache, not as it is now but as it was between 1929 and 1957.  This was the Camden Central Airport location, which is the history behind the Airport Circle where Routes 130 and 30 and 38 converge. 

Above is a sketch of the airport layout of Camden Central Airport as it was in 1930.

 

This is a picture of Camden Central Airport from 1933.

This is a photo from the 1940's of a Piper plane by a hanger at Camden Central Airport.

This is a view after the airport closed in 1957 looking north along Route 130 towards the Airport Circle with one of Camden Central Airport's hangars still standing.

 

This cache is one of the easier ones to find, but the difficulty is set higher because of the significant muggle activity in this area throughout the day.  Extreme stealth will likely be required when retrieving this cache.
