This cache is placed in honor of the great Marquis de LaFayette who landed in Georgetown, SC on June 13, 1777. It is placed a short walk in the woods behind a memorial sign in his honor. Be careful pulling over to the parking spot off of Highway 17. And, enjoy the hunt for the cache! Learn more about Marquis de LaFayette below!
Marquis de LaFayette wanted to join the American cause, and he set sail on April 20, 1777 for America. However, his voyage would not be an ordinary one as he had to disguise himself as a woman to travel. Although the captain of the ship intended to stop over in the West Indies to sell some goods, LaFayette feared any layovers would open a window of opportunity for the British that would result in his arrest. To avoid this delay in his mission to America, LaFayette again opened his own purse and bought the cargo from the captain in exchange for the skipper’s promise to sail directly to America. On June 13, 1777, the Marquis de LaFayette landed on North Island near Georgetown, South Carolina. This was almost as a momentous a landing as any other in American history.
You don't have to disguise yourself as anyone to find this cache, but the cache is disguised to fit the surroundings. You are looking for a green lock and lock container that holds small tradeables and a tb for the ftf.
