Geocache Description:


The oldest county challenges move north!  The cache is at the posted coordinates along the beautiful Jackson County Trail and this challenge will take you to the oldest caches in Jackson County.  To fufill this challenge and log this cache you must have found at least nine out of the eleven oldest caches in Jackson County. (Yes, we're switching it up with 11 total caches, as the youngest three hides were all placed on the same day.)  Past finds do count. If you own a cache on the list that also counts toward your nine.  If you have found an older Jackson Co. cache that has since been archived, you may count it toward your tally (must be older than 05/03/04).  I have included the date I found each of the following caches.

You may find the cache and sign the log at any time, but you may only log this cache as found after meeting the requirements. You may include the GC codes and the dates you found them in your log, or I'll verify them with the challenge checker.

From the listed parking coordinates you'll have about a mile and a half walk or bike ride. Cache is located just off the trail.  As always, have fun seeking out these classics of yesteryear!  If you enjoy this challenge I welcome you to check out GC6X7ATGC6P2T1 and GC4DYR9, which are similar challenges for Clinton and Scott and Rock Island counties.
