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 Cache
This cache is rated a 1.0/2.0. The puzzle should be a quick solve! The cache is an ammo can with room for trackables or SWAG. A relatively short hike will be required to get to GZ. You'll take trails almost all the way to the cache. Be sure to bring water, bug spray, and possibly a snack! Note that you may see some fences marking private property. Please respect the fence lines as the cache is on the park side of the fences...

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.
Wilbur got a rare opportunity for a pig, and took a trip to Rome! He was particularly interested in historical items from the ancient period!
When he came back, he sounded very strange and kept repeating these strange words:
orthnay irtythay ourfay erozay oneway ointpay inenay inenay eethray
estway eightyway eethray otway otway ointpay ixsay ixsay ourfay
Finally, Farmer MacDonald realized Wilbur was revealing the location of a geocache!!!
