The “quiet resort” began in 1901. The Christian Church took over some swampland and made a retreat that later became the Bethany Beach Christian Church. The area was bug-infested and not thought to be good for much. The BBCC still exists and has a year-round congregation. The town grew up around the conference center with mainly small summer retreat homes. The town was dry (no alcohol) around 25 years ago but that has certainly changed also. However, Bethany continues to be a family resort with beautiful beaches and a nice boardwalk. The conference center still exists in the middle of the resort town.
Here are the clues to Nanticoke:
Start at Bethany Beach. Is it TIME to buy boardwalk fries?
Go either North or South to the START.
About face, count 13 lampposts (99418) then turn away from the sea and go West to the place where Campbells used to live and on the street where Patsy now lives. On the way look for Vina del Mar, Summer House, Shoot the Moon, and Away.
Enter on to BBCC, look for Fisher Tree.
Turn around, go to STOP. Go right keeping the white picket fence on your right. You may hear little ones playing or a basketball game in progress. BBQ smells in the air.
Follow the fence around the corner and look ahead of you for the Chief. The Chief is sitting on a micro box with the final clue.
Chief Little Owl, not really a totem pole, at the entrance to Bethany Beach was dedicated on 7/15/02. The artist is the eccentric artist Peter Wolf Toth. The original was given to the town of Bethany Beach in 1976. When the original needed to be replaced in 1992, the bid was won by Dennis D. Beach but this lasted only 6 years. The carving that you see today is carved of Pacific Northwest Red Cedar by Peter Wolf Toth and should last between 50 and 150 years.
Toth donated the first carving to the town and has other "Giants" in every state in the US. There were 62 carvings donated by Toth as a humanitarian gesture and as a tribute to the original inhabitants of the country. At the ceremony on 7/15/02, the man who Toth used as the likeness for the carving was present.
There is a stamp in the micro box but no logbook or stamp pad. Follow the final clue to get to the special Nanticoke stamp and logbook. Please replace everything carefully!
