This Cache
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates! To find the coordinates, you will need to play a Wherigo cartridge. You can download the cartridge here: JCAT-02 A Game of "Chicken"!.
This cartridge should only take a few minutes to play. You will be taken to a site, asked a question about what you see, and upon answering correctly, you will be given coordinates to the final! Easy-peasey, nice and breezy!! It should take less than 10 minutes to play the cartridge.
When you reach the final coordinates, you won't have any problems finding this cache!! It's a big one! However, getting to the log will require a little patience to play a fun game!
There are two locks on this cache. Open the large door to play the game. The combination to the lock on the large door is 2021. The log is in the smaller box attached. You will need to play the game to get the combination to this lock.
The game should launch automatically when the door is opened. Press the white button to start! Make sure to read the directions carefully!
Note: nothing needs to be forced to access the cache. Please treat the cache gently!
About the Jackson County Agritourism Geo-Trail
The Jackson County Agritourism Geo-Trail (established 2021) is a fun trail taking you to Agritourism sites around Jackson County. Each site will highlight an agritourism feature!
The trail consists of 14 unique "gadget" caches.
Before you start, print a copy of the JCAT Passport (Link), or pick up a copy at one of the following locations:
| Site Name |
Address |
| Crawford Long Museum |
28 College St, Jefferson, GA 30549 |
| Braselton Downtown Development Authority |
9924 Davis St #8, Braselton, GA 30517 |
| Jackson County Chamber of Commerce |
270 Athens St, Jefferson, GA 30549 |
| Historic Courthouse of Jackson County |
85 Washington St, Jefferson, GA 30549 |
At each of the 14 stops, you will find a unique gadget cache. These caches will all be super-easy to find but will require you to solve some sort of "puzzle" to sign the logbook.
Each cache in the series is numbered (JCAT-01, for example). After you sign the log for each cache, you will find a stamp and inkpad inside the cache. Find the spot on your passport that corresponds to the stop number and stamp the passport. When you find all 14 caches and complete the passport, you can trade it in for a free trackable tag (while quantities last)! Additionally, you will have the opportunity to purchase a deluxe trackable coin.
You can turn in your completed passport at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce (see address above). The Chamber is normally open M-F, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM. Hours are subject to change. Check with the Chamber before heading out. For the kickoff weekend, there will be additional places to pick up tags. See event communications for more details...
Note that there is no charge to get a passport, visit any of the cache sites, log any of the caches, or collect your trackable tag!
Featured Agricultural Item
On each cache page, we highlight one agricultural component. For this cache, the featured item is Chickens!
The poultry industry in Georgia provides over 100,000 jobs and $2.8 billion to the economy. On an average day, Georgia produces 29 million pounds of chicken, 6.3 million table eggs, and 5.5 million hatching eggs! 105 different Georgia counties produce over $1 million worth poultry annually! Georgia is well-known for the "4 P's" - peaches, peanuts, pecans, and poultry. Poultry is definitely the biggest of the four!
Additional Notes (SPOILERS!!)
Some of the gadget caches can be a little tricky. While we want you to enjoy figuring them out, we definitely don’t want you to get stuck, so to make sure you complete the cache, we are giving you some major spoilers here and telling you how to solve the field puzzle. To increase the challenge, avoid reading this section!!
This puzzle is pretty straightforward. Follow the instructions on the screen. You will be tasked with clicking the button that matches the light. You will see a countdown on the screen. When the countdown reaches zero, you'll be given the combination to the lock!
