Geocache Description:

150 Geocaches have been hidden to guide your exploration of NC as you traverse highways and by-ways across the state as you learn from those fighting and those keeping the home fires burning during the Civil War, 1861 - 1865.

 


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.

This area of Alamance County is rich in both Revolutionary and Civil War history. From this marker you can easily view another historic marker. The coordinates of the Final can be determined with the following information from that 2nd marker.
 
The Final is located at
 
36 01.A1
79 29.4B
 
Where A=sum of numbers in the year and B=final DAY listed
 
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  http://www.alamancemuseum.org/Home.aspx.
 
The final is the original container and is tucked beneath the open floor joists of the corn crib.
