Old Historic Jacksonborough District Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Edisto Patto: Since I no longer live in SC will not be able to check on this.....no sense having cachers look for it if it is gone. Had a great run and quite a few favorites. Thanks to all who looked for it!

Geocache Description:

This multicache will take you to a number of historical settings and highway markers in the town of Jacksonboro.


As you read each site marker you will need to find the answers to questions that will lead to the final cache.

The questions are not necessarily in the order that you will find the answers.

After you find the first marker, you will need to drive South on Highway 17 until you get to the junction of Highway 64 West. (approx 0.5 miles) At this intersection you will bear to the right onto Highway 64. You will need to find 4 more historical markers along Highway 64 between Hwy 17 and Parkers Ferry Road. Two of the markers are located very close together. You will pass the cutoff to the Isaac Hayne Burial site but you do not need to go there for this cache and this sign is not one that you are looking for. All of the markers will be on the right side of the road as you travel from Hwy 17.

The final cache is a Rubbermaid container located near one of the historical sites mentioned on one of the markers.

There is a FTF prize of an unactivated Dragon Rot 13 Spinner Geocoin.

You do not have to enter the historical site to find the cache.

Both the Hayne Burial site and the site near the final cache are open to the public (no admission) and are very interesting historical sites.

You will start your trip through Jacksonboro history at the above co-ordinates. Near this marker, you will also find a wildlife preserve that has an easy to follow trail through several distinct geographical areas that are found in the ACE basin. There are also 2 caches here to add to the fun. It is about a 4.5 mile drive from the above coordinates to the final cache location.
