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.

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 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.

Your search will take you near the Field Research Facility and its 1840 foot long pier. Internationally recognized for its research the Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility has helped gain considerable knowledge about nor’easters and hurricanes. The site was established by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1977 as part of the Field Data Collection and Analysis Branch headquartered in Vicksburg, Mississippi and the U.S. Department of Defense.

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.
