You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.


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.

Please take the time to carefully return the host to its proper position.

You might find a parking place close to this cache, if not the parking coordinates provided are 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 other places to park near several other cache locations along the route although 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 1987 a nine-member Duck Civic Association Board of Directors was established to represent the community in public safety, land use, and other public interest matters. On July 18, 1994, Dare County Commissioners adopted a resolution to preserve a coastal village atmosphere in Duck.

If your visit to Duck includes more than hunting Geocaches, keep in mind that driving on the dunes is prohibited at all times and beach fires, fireworks, and bonfires are not permitted. While the sale of legal fireworks in Duck is permitted, the use of any fireworks (including sparklers) is prohibited and punishable by a $250 fine and requires a mandatory court appearance.

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.
