Geocache Description:

NEVER CANCEL GEOCACHE CHALLENGE


Welcome to the Never Cancel Geocache Challenge (NCGC). This is one of 31 caches that were placed for a May, 2013 event. The event is over, but you can still take the challenge! More information about the event can be found here: http://coord.info/GC46YFX

First, grab a passport from the Contact Station as you enter the park. If the station is closed, try the Visitor Center. The passport explains the program and allows you to record your finds. Most caches in this series are micros – pill bottles, 35mm film canisters and bison tubes. There is one nano in the series. Bring your own pencil/pen to sign the log.

Each cache has a point value. Earn 15 points and receive a specially minted pin. There is a rubber stamp in each cache. Bring a felt marker to act as your stamp pad.

If you are taking the challenge, this cache is AVERAGE and is worth 2 points.

The location of this cache is at the overseer's house of the colonial-era Taskinas Plantation.  Once again, you will be on the Backbone Trail which is gravel and dirt with gently rolling terrain. From the Backbone Trail, you'll branch off to the Whitetail & Dogwood Trails.  No special tools are required for this cache.
