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 2.0/4.5. The puzzle is a little tricky, be we know you'll get it! The hide will require a pretty long hike. The final is a regular, though it is on the small side. Its color is horrifying to UGA fans, and it doesn't blend particularly well. It should be a fairly easy spot once in range.

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!
Harry Hog was asked to give an inspirational speech to the farm animals. He wasn’t exactly shy about speaking in public, but he knew attention spans were short and hunger pangs long. He decided on a short, poem-like motivational talk that would be easy for the animals to remember. It might also give them a location to practice their yoga.
Be the best animal you can be. Every day. Weather the storms.
Soar among the eagles and the falcons, knowing your own greatness.
Know your worth among fellow creatures, and do not doubt.
You alone can find your path in life, and you alone can walk it.
See as much of the world outside the farm as possible.
Mix pleasure with business to achieve life balance.
Shine your light for all other animals to see.
Hate has no place in your world; sow peace and harmony.
Flee from animosity and cruelty, both in the human world and the animal.
Who you become is more important than who you have been.
True happiness awaits you, but it is up to you to seek it.
Great things are possible, but greatness will not come to all.
Sunshine every day sounds like a good idea, but it be ruinous.
Mine your talents and do not waste them; be proud but not arrogant.
Talk about inspiration! I'm inspired to find a cache!
