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.
This leads the cacher to a historic plantation with some great history.

The Final is located on the grounds of the plantation formerly owned by the Holt family; owners of the Mill. The plantation is now the home of the Alamance County Historical Museum. Do not trespass on this property after dark! Permission for placement of the final was granted by Museum Director, William Vincent. The museum has a wonderful collection of Antebellum, Civil War, and Victorian artifacts and is quite impressive for such a rural county. Admission is free and hours are posted at

The final is the original container and is tucked beneath the open floor joists of the corn crib.
