This Geocache is one of several containers of different sizes hidden in the Town of Duck, NC. The Town 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.

Parking coordinates are provided near the center of the cache series since The Town of Duck does not allow parking along any of its roads and Town Police do enforce the "No Parking" policy. You may actually find places to park near some cache locations along the route depending on the time of day and the total local population but please keep in mind that 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.

Take time to close container lids and replace each in its secured position. Also, even though the property owner has allowed this placement stealth is still of the utmost importance 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 unique cache is certain to wander off.


Although the area of Duck was already a popular vacation destination, the February 1999 attempt to build a 31,000 square foot supermarket in Duck Village prompted the Duck Civic Association Board to discuss and consider incorporating the community into a separate town as a way to control growth. Information was sent to all Duck property owners and registered voters. Public response showed 1,051 were overwhelmingly in favor of incorporation. Duck residents were 62% in favor and non-resident owners 74% in favor. In June 2000 a 10-person Incorporation Committee was formed.

On November 6, 2001, voters voted "for" incorporation and Duck was incorporated on May 1, 2002, as the newest Outer Banks town and the sixth Dare County municipality.
