The Series
Do you love mystery caches? Do you love D/T (Difficulty/Terrain) ratings? if so, we have a GREAT series for you!!!
The Jackson County Agritourism Geo-Trail 81 series (JCAT-81) has been placed for YOU! We do have to fess up that the series isn’t actually in Jackson County, but it’s a stone’s throw away and an awesome set of caches. If you complete all 81, you will have completed an entire D/T grid. Total fizzy awesomeness!
The majority of the caches are hidden in Sandy Creek Park. There is an entrance fee of $2 per person to enter. Current park hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, closed on Mondays. (Note: Hours can change-- please check with the park before making your trip plans)
The caches are hidden in a variety of containers and styles. The puzzles will help build your puzzle-solving skills. Be on the lookout for some JCAT-81 Puzzle-Solving events where we will help you solve some of the tougher ones.
This series is a collaborative effort of “The Puzzle Posse”! The Puzzle Posse consists of Bragger407, GeoMonkeyTiger!, LaFavorite Cacher, and poeanne.
The Cache
This cache is rated a 4.5/3.0! You'll have to get in the tree a bit to get this one. Unlike many of the caches in this series, the puzzle and physical hide are both very tough on this one, so good luck!!
The Puzzle
(This puzzle brought to you by Bragger407)
This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!
One day, as I was walking toward the barn, I overheard the animals talking about something they had hidden nearby. I crept up closely to try to listen. I heard them say that they had coded the location, but it was easy, you just had to... WOOF!!
Well, as you might guess, the WOOF wasn't me; it was the guard they had employed. They scurried off, but in their rush they dropped some papers. This is what they left behind. Can you figure out the coordinates??
