Thirty caches are located in five different regions throughout NC. Instructions for sending the documentation are in the passport. Once all five regions are completed, you have earned a special NC Civil War trackable geocoin. Mail the passport to the address inside the passport – then your passport will be returned with your unique coin.
All of the containers are the same - camouflaged 6 inch PVC tubes - the code word you need for your passport is inside the container on a laminated card and also taped on the container that holds the log sheet. Date your logbook and add your code word in the numbered area for the cache. As the containers may become over tightened, carry a TOTT to ease the opening process.
Passports will be available at the event, some Civil War Museums in NC, and via mail if you send me you address or you can download your passport here.
Goldsborough Bridge:
In December of 1862, Union troops attempted to destroy a vital railroad bridge in what was then Goldsborough,NC. The railroad bridge was a vital link in the Confederate supply chain and thousands of soldiers fought bravely to either defend it or destroy it. Today the 30-acre site, owned by Wayne County, includes a Civil War Trails marker and a snake rail fence that gives the battlefield a distinct period look. Members of the Goldsborough Bridge Battlefield Association, a local volunteer organization, constructed the fence. They also plan to have trails in place that enable visitors to tour the battlefield. Surveyed earthworks will be preserved and intepreted.
