Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are for the parking area and not for the cache. The cache is located in the area of the Davis General Store in Croft, N.C. a small settlement between Charlotte and Huntersville.

The Davis General Store, a historic landmark, is the central hub of Croft. The above coordinates are for the parking lot of the General Store where you may park to find the cache. Parking is permitted any day, however, if you want to take a step back in time to the early 1900’s, visit here when the store is open. The owner has given special permission to place this cache on his property so please be respectful when searching for the cache and do not enter any of the open storage outer buildings. When the store is open feel free to drop in, you will make some unique finds here as well. Say hello to Silas and tell him you are there to do a little Croft Geocaching.

I have given the coordinates of the cache below with a couple blanks to be filled in with the following questions. The blanks should be easy to find right at the front of the store.

N Aº 20.592 A= The price per gallon of gas on the old gas pump in front of the store.
W 080º 49. B4 B = The two digit number after the letter J located on the round benchmark disc in the front South corner of the store. The bronze disc is recessed in the brick.
When you log the cache don’t forget to write down the benchmark info so you can log this too.

The cache container is now small. (The large one was stolen). The New Cache is a "Key Chain" cache. Please exchange only Key Chains, small TB's or geocoins in this cache. Please sign the log.

FYI
The Croft School house, is also a historic landmark just a few hundred yards north of the General Store. If you wish to visit the coordinates are: N.35º 20.826 W 080º 49.387
