Geocache Description:

You may want to attempt this cache during a vacation at this island.

At these coords, you will be looking at a fine piece of history, once, very important to vessels that traveled the Cape Fear River. This place dates back to 1897. Here you will find a museum that contains artifacts of the island. Also, you can learn about the history and use of the island during the Civil War. A very interesting place, this is. There is a fee of $5 to take the tour; a very small price to pay if you enjoy history like this.

**** IMPORTANT INFORMATION ****
You need to check the museum times of operation at the mainland ferry dock. The museum may not be open the day of your visit.

An overall difficulty of 4 was put on this cache because of the mode of travel used to get here. (By personal boat or pricey ferry ride)

To validate your find :

You need to post in your log a picture of the Old Baldy Lighthouse WITH YOUR USERNAME VISIBLE, CLEAR AND READABLE written on the medium of your choice (paper, hand, phone, t-shirt, etc...).
Pictures taken with only yourself, your GPS or your Logo/Avatar are not accepted as well as photoshopped/edited pictures with your username inserted afterward.

Failure to follow these instructions will lead to your log deleted.

Thanks to fraygirls for letting me adopt this virtual cache.
Let's not forget JeffersonStone who was the first owner.
