We chose Splinter City as the location for our very first hide to honor our veterans and remember our military history.
Splinter City refers to the wooden structures hastily constructed at this location in 1942. These buildings supported operations for the United States Army Air Corps' Myrtle Beach Bombing and Gunnery Training Range. In 1943 some of these facilities were used to house German prisoners of war. Today this location is a popular disc golf course. Warbird Park is located across Farrow Parkway from Splinter City and is worth a visit.
The cache is located down a short trail (trailhead coordinates can be found in waypoints). Mosquitos may be present. The cache contains separate ziplock bags for trade items and trackables. There are 2 prizes for the First To Find in another ziplock bag containing the logbook.
For this and other caches that may be placed in Splinter City in the future please be respectful of the disc golf players. Navigate around the periphery and out of the field of play if possible. If you must cross the field of play wait for the players to pass through first. You do not need to enter the field of play to find this cache.
This cache was placed with the permission of the Horry County Parks and Recreation Department.
