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.

On November 6, 2001, the vote in favor of incorporation passed and Duck was incorporated on May 1, 2002, as the newest Outer Banks town and the sixth municipality in Dare County. The five-member Town Council currently meets the first Wednesday each month.

When this cache was published there were 554 incorporated municipalities (cities, towns, and villages) in the state. A year round population hovering at a modest 379 put the village of Duck on the list of 258 small towns or villages in the state with a population of less than 1,000. However, during the peak vacation season (from Memorial Day to Labor Day) the population here swells to more than 20,000 on any given day. Both are but a drop in the bucket compared to the 2014 North Carolina population total of 9,943,964. There are days when you might think all 9.9 million are here in Duck watching you.

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.
