Geocache Description:

Small log only BYOP container on Old Nags Head Woods Road within Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve. No bushwhacking needed so leave your machete, hatchet, brush hog and axe home. However, a retrieval tool will be quite handy even for the most blow hard of individuals.

Please remember to sign the Guest Register at the Main Parking Lot Visitor Center before or after you take a walk along the road also known as Old Soundside Road. 

You are sure to enjoy nature as you look for a very small container hidden on the east side of the road. The treasure you seek is within reach of all but the smallest of elfs. The 0.3 mile walk along this dirt/sandy road should be an easy stroll with some minor elevation changes that could take you past a few other caches along the way. You could drive it but keep in mind that the road is used frequently and parking as well as passing other vehicles can be a problem at times even for motorcycles. 

The 1,092-acre Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve is a maritime forest located at the end of Ocean Acres Drive in Kill Devil Hills and was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1974. The Preserve is open daily from dawn to dusk every day with several hiking trails open for foot traffic only. Be aware that the trees often cause considerable bounce. Cache is hidden right by the trail so no need to wander about creating any geo-trails. Parking coordinates will take you to the Visitors Center where guests are asked to sign in. 

Permission granted for this placement in compliance with Nags Head Wood guidelines. FTF credit goes to OBXed. Log only, BYOP.
