Geocache Description:


This is an NFC-cache, and to find the cache container you will have to locate 4 hidden NFC-tags. NFC stands for Near Field Communication.

Tags look like the background image of the cache page.

This technology is used for hotel key cards, networking, exchanging contact information, buying products and much more.

You will need an NFC-capable device to scan/tap the NFC-tags and retrieve the information they contain or an app for your brand of phone.

 

1) Turn on NFC on your device. 

2) Go to the posted coordinates and find the first stage NFC tag. 

3)  Place device near the tag. (Depending on the application being used, you may have to hold the device for several seconds to scan the tag.)

4) Each NFC tag will give you the coordinates of the next stage and tag and a clue.

5) Follow the tags until you find the final container.  

Montford is an historic neighborhood in Asheville, North Carolina, located just north of downtown.

A portion of Montford is a National Register Historic District with 600+ buildings, mostly residences built between 1890 and 1920. 

Victorian, Queen Anne and Arts and Crafts styles combine with Neoclassical, Colonial Revival and castle-like design. Supervising architect of the Biltmore House Richard Sharp Smith created many homes in Montford.

 

Take a stroll around a part of this neighborhood by following the information on the NFC tags.

This adventure can be walked for the entire distance of approximately 2 miles, through an interesting neighborhood.

Or you can drive to all the points. Just be cautious and aware of parking restrictions at some of the different stops.

Please be aware if bringing children along for the stroll, that there are some streets to cross.

Parking is available at the Chamber of Commerce at 36 Montford Ave., Asheville, NC,

(N35 35.837, W82 33.630), where you will find other information regarding Asheville and surrounding areas.

There is parking near the final location.

Be descreet and place container back as found or better.

Good luck and enjoy the neighborhood!
