Downtown / Main Street USA at Night (Chapel Hill) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

e-bird67: I absolutely hate to let this one go, but it has required more ongoing maintenance than I can keep up with now, as components are constantly going missing, and the final keeps disappearing. I guess I'll free up this space for a new hider. Sorry to take so long to resolve the issue.

Geocache Description:

This night cache takes seekers down fabulous Franklin Street, where UNC Chapel Hill students, faculty and staff head for eats, adult beverages, live music, shopping, and people watching. Coordinates are for the starting point.

I recently did a lovely urban night cache in Richmond that inspired me to try hiding one locally in a more populated setting. This one shouldn't be terribly difficult to follow, and the distance to beginning to end and back is between 1.3 and 1.6 miles total. The starting coordinates are very close to Morehead Planetarium, where paid parking can be found there or right on Franklin St, where parking is free in the evenings. Look for a reflective tack to begin your journey. One tack/piece of tape indicates that you continue straight ahead. Two reflectors indicate that a turn is required. When you come to a cluster of reflectors, the container can be found within about 6 feet. Make sure you look at trees, as well as hard surfaces, such as street signs and bus stops. Keep in mind that some surfaces required reflective tape and others required tacks.

This cache can likely be found during the day as well, but will be easiest to find at night.

Cache is a cammo'd lock n lock container.
