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.

You will likely need some type of retrieval tool for a small tube container hidden out of sight. Depending on the type writing stick you have it is possible you already have all that is necessary. Be alert to Muggles, traffic & BYOP. If you lost or forgot your writing instrument you not only cannot sign the log you may not even be able to see it.

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.

The sound-front Duck Town Park parking lot seemed a convenient starting point for hunting caches both north and south of the property because it is located near the heart of Duck and open from dawn until dusk. The first parcel for that recreational facility was purchased in the fall of 2003 for $4.5 million from a large grocery chain and the second parcel was purchased in the summer of 2006 from a private family for $1.25 million.

Duck Town Park has four distinct vegetative communities; a maritime deciduous forest, maritime evergreen forest, a willow swamp, and a marsh. There is also a picnic shelter covering 768 square feet of area, a gazebo/stage that is 841 square feet in area (the open area is 609 square feet and the storage area is 232 square feet), a public kayak/canoe launch, a 350 seat amphitheater (built at a cost just under $250,000) and a playground designed for use by children ages five through twelve. You will find 21 benches, 15 trash cans, five picnic tables, three bike racks, and three dogipots in the park. There is currently one water fountain, complete with a dog-friendly unit, located in the park near the playground.

Constructed with a pervious material surface that meets current accessibility standards 1,699 linear feet (0.32 miles) of trail winds through the 11 acre park.

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.
