Thirty caches are located in five different regions throughout NC. Instructions for sending the documentation are in the passport. Once all five regions are completed, you have earned a special NC Civil War trackable geocoin. Mail the passport to the address inside the passport – then your passport will be returned with your unique coin.
All of the containers are the same - camouflaged 6 inch PVC tubes - the code word you need for your passport is inside the container on a laminated card and also taped on the container that holds the log sheet. Date your logbook and add your code word in the numbered area for the cache. As the containers may become over tightened, carry a TOTT to ease the opening process.
Passports will be available at the event, some Civil War Museums in NC, and via mail if you send me you address or you can download your passport here.
Burning of Winton:
Situated near two important railroad bridges, Winton became a target after the Union capture of Roanoke Island in 1862. A small contingent of the Union navy steamed up the Chowan River and met resistance here. The town was burned because of the "ambush tactics" of the Confederate defenders.
Cache is in the Winton Town Park, 2/10 of a mile east of the historical marker.
