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.

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.

As the local population numbers increased a nine-member Duck Civic Association Board of Directors was established in 1987 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.

In February 1999 a large grocery chain store submitted plans to build and operate a 31,000 square foot supermarket right in Duck Village. A petition objecting to the supermarket was circulated and in just two months, from June 15 to August 14, there were 3,311 signatures on it. A majority of full-time residents signed the petition as did 2,266 tourists from 32 states and the District of Columbia along with four different United Kingdom parties and residents of Norway, Poland and Russia. Corporate officials confirmed property ownership on September 27, 1999.

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.
