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.
Morrisville Engagement
After the capture of Raleigh, Union General H Judson Kilpatrick's cavalry skirmished with Confederate General Joseph Wheeler's cavalry as it retreated west. About 2 p.m., Wheeler galloped into Morrisville with the Federals close behind. Wheeler erected barricades around the depot to protect a train that was straining to pull cars loaded with supplies and wounded up the long grade out of town. Kilpatrick halted on a hill just SE of town and deployed Lt. Joseph Killinger's section of the 23rd New York Battery. The guns pounded Wheeler's men. Union horsemen charged to within 100 yards of the train before Confederate bullets halted them. Wheeler's men uncoupled the supply cars, enabling the rest of the train and the wounded to escape.
