LPP Mystery Cache
Bolling: I love this park and I'm not thrilled about archiving this cache, but I've had caches here go missing too many times. I checked -- it's definitely gone. The Town of Mt. Pleasant has a cache in this park with a good hiding spot. Please enjoy that cache.

Some history: The Long Point Plantation was built sometime between 1719 and 1763, but “comes of age” under the control of the Venning family during the nineteenth century. The plantation was originally obtained by James Allen in 1719 and the plantation house and structures were probably built either by James Allen or his son, James Allen, Jr., prior to 1763. The plantation was purchased by the Vennings, a prominent and wealthy Christ Church Parish clan, in 1800 and was held by that family until 1899. The plantation, which is believed to have contained a small cluster of structures located within the parameters of this site, was economically oriented, through time, toward livestock, cotton, and finally subsistence crops. One small, brick structure is still standing at the site. Listed in the National Register March 20, 1986.

May 2011 Update: Ammo can muggled. I've lost several good containers in this park, so I provided a cheaper container and moved the location quite a bit. The final hunt won't be in quite as nice a location but hopefully the container will stay put.
