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.
Stoneman in Mocksville
On April 11, part of Stoneman’s force crossed the Yadkin River near here en route to Salisbury. A 21-member Southern Home Guard unit assembled just north of Mocksville and exchanged a few shots with the Federals. Stoneman’s men burned and pillaged, destroying some county records. The local townfolk were forced to feed the soldiers.
