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.

St John's Lutheran Church:

Many members sacrificed their lives and possessions in military conflicts for this great nation.  A number of Revolutionary War patriots are buried in St. John's cemetery.  At least one hundred men from St. John's gave their lives during the Civil War.  Unfortunately, the vast majority of the Civil War dead are buried near the battlefield or prison camp where they fell, which was the common practice of the time.  Members of St. John's who lost their lives during the Civil War are buried throughout the region of battle from Gettysburg to Charleston, Richmond to Point Lookout, Maryland, Wilmington to Petersburg.  In addition to those buried away from St. John's is about one hundred Civil War veterans buried in St. John's cemetery.

For final stage: From the sign find the number of volunteers that fought for the Confederacy from this community = A.
