This Geocache is one of several containers of various sizes hidden near a multi-use path in the Town of Duck, NC. The Town of Duck does not allow public street parking which means a 4 hour walk or 50 minute bicycle ride along the 9 mile round trip is required to locate all 31.

Parking coordinates are provided near the center of the cache series since The Town of Duck does not allow parking along any of its roads and Town Police 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.

In 1984 the North Carolina General Assembly passed an act establishing the area of Duck as a North Carolina Beautification District. That allowed an ad valorem tax to be levied to beautify the district and/or protect its citizens. Initially, a tax was levied to provide for underground power lines to avoid the need for 30-foot high concrete power poles along Duck Road.

From 1986 to 1988 community residents agreed to a two-year tax for construction costs of a seven-mile multiple use trail near where more than two dozen Geocaches in this series are hidden. A $30,000 Dare County Tourism Bureau grant covered some construction costs and the State Department of Transportation was also a major participant in trail installation.

Please park only at designated parking locations. Town officials granted permission for this cache placement. If you enjoyed the hunt and have time it might not hurt to stop by Town Hall or the Police Department and thank them for allowing this placement.
