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.
Shoot Out at Bond School House
The Bond House School Shooting began when Jesse Dobbins, his brother William, and around a dozen men, some of whom were pacifist Quakers, took shelter in the Bond School. The men were evading the conscription laws of the Confederate army, which stated men who lived in North Carolina could be drafted since the state seceded from the United States and joined the Confederacy. William Dobbins had escaped from the Yadkin County jail, where he was imprisoned after being arrested for “draft dodging.” The group planned to escape the state through the mountains and planned to head west.
