This Geocache container which is not in the bushes is hidden out in the open and is one of several of various sizes hidden near a multi-use path in the Town of Duck, NC. There is no 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.

Parking coordinates are provided near the center of the cache series since Town Police enforce the "No Parking" policy. There may be places to park near several cache locations along the route depending on the time of day and the total local population but 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.

The Town of Duck is a small northeastern North Carolina coastal community nestled in between the Atlantic Ocean to the east with its 17,543,940,979,332,434 gallons of water and Currituck Sound (with a mean depth of 4.987 feet) on the west. As the northernmost community within Dare County, the Town of Duck stretches from the lower Currituck County line 7 miles south to the Southern Shores Town line. Covering 3.718 square miles of total area Duck has 2.4 square miles of land with 1.3 square miles (or 35.02%) water and boasts an average elevation of 6.562 feet.

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.
