Geocache Description:


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.

 

This Cache

This cache is rated a 1.5/1.0.  The puzzle should be a quick solve!  This cache is one of the few caches in this series that are NOT hidden in Sandy Creek Park and is available 24/7.  Please use caution and pull fully off the road (there is plenty of room at GZ to safely exit the road).  Cache will be super-familiar to experienced caches!  It is a micro with little room for SWAG/trackables.

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

Farmer MacDonald knows a lot about cows.  He has a bit of a wager for you!

If you can properly answer a few questions about cows, he'll give you the coordinates to a very cool geocache!

However, if you don't answer properly, you will have to clean his barn.

Are you up for the challenge?

There are 5 questions.  Enter the number of the answers into the Certitude checker to see if you will get the coordinates to a cache or if you'll be cleaning the barn!!  Enter all 5 digits as a single number (If all the answers were "1", you would enter "11111")
