This small Geocache is one of several containers of different sizes hidden near a multi-use path in the Town of Duck, NC.

Cache difficulty takes into consideration the Muggle factor involved although at meal times it might seem closer to a 5.5 Difficulty.

Parking available nearby and appropriate coordinates provided. If you do elect to park here please note that available space is limited and vehicles should only be her while looking for this cache container.

We have provided coordinates for a Public Parking area near the center of the cache series because The Town of Duck does not allow parking along any of its roads and Town Police do enforce the "No Parking" policy. There may be places to park near several cache locations along the route depending on the time of day and the total local population but none are guaranteed and permission to park there has not been granted. Please at all times be alert to nearby traffic as several caches are in a downtown business area and some are close to a very busy roadway. You should also be alert for Muggles at virtually all hours.

Please remember to close container lids and replace each in its secured position. Also, stealth is of the utmost importance here all year long and is especially essential during the summer tourist season. Keep in mind that if your search activities are observed by any Muggles (and there will be many at all hours of the day) this cache is certain to wander off.

Voters approved an incorporation referendum on November 6, 2001, and Duck was incorporated on May 1, 2002, as the newest Outer Banks town and the sixth municipality in Dare County.

When this cache was published there were 554 incorporated municipalities (cities, towns, and villages) in the state. A year round population hovering at a modest 379 put the village of Duck on the list of 258 small towns or villages in the state with a population of less than 1,000. However, during the peak vacation season (from Memorial Day to Labor Day) the population here swells to more than 20,000 on any given day. Both are but a drop in the bucket compared to the 2014 North Carolina population total of 9,943,964. There are days in the summer when you might think they are all here at this cache location.

If it's not too busy and you have time you might want thank Mr. Ron Forlano and his staff for allowing this cache to be placed here.
