DUE TO VANDALISM, THIS CACHE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO A VIRTUAL CACHE.
WE ARE SORRY TO HAVE TO DO THIS, BUT THE VANDALS HAVE LEFT US NO
CHOICE.
PLEASE NOTE THAT AT THE REQUEST OF THE NATIONAL
PARK SERVICE, THE CACHES AT PARKERS BATTERY AND DREWRY'S BLUFF HAVE
BEEN REMOVED!
This is the site of a Union Fort, built in 1864
to protect the rear of the Union lines, to prevent Confederate
forces from advancing in the event the lines were captured. To get
credit for this cache you must find out the common name for the
artillery that was once there. E-mail this to me.
We have placed a cache in each
of the four Civil War Era Batteries / Forts in owned by
Chesterfield County. http://www.co.chesterfield.va.us/Tourism/civilwarsites.asp.
Great care has been
taken to not disturb important archeological areas, so please do
not enter any area that has been marked off-limits to the
public.
