Geocache Description:

You are looking for a camo'd container, this cache was placed with permission by the City of Jenkinsburg. BYOP. Parking is available on the side of the road. This cache will bring you to an area named after the vine that ate the south, kudzu!


Whether you like it or not, Kudzu grows on you. In the 1930's the Soil Conservation Service promoted the use of kudzu for soil erosion. Hundreds of people were paid to plant to the vine but, later in 1953 the Government stopped advocating it's use. You can find kudzu on just about every back road here in the south. It's nearly impossible to kill and in the summer months it can grow as much as a foot per day covering trees, power poles and anything else in it's path.
