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.
Bennett Place
Confederate Gen. Joseph Johnston and Union Gen. William T. Sherman held a series of meetings here in April 1865. Negotiations for the surrender of Johnston's army began April 17 with Sherman offering liberal terms. Those terms were rejected, however, and the final agreement, reached April 26, resembled the one Grant and Lee had made nearly two weeks earlier at Appomattox. The Confederate surrender here was the largest troop surrender of the war.
