This Cache
You will need a 9V battery for this cache.
Note: there is a foam covering on the top of the cache. It is not meant to be removed. Please be gentle with this cache
You won't have any problems finding this cache!! It's a white utility box near the gate! However, getting to the log will require a little patience and a strong voice!
There are two locks on this cache. The combination to the blue lock is 2021.
The log is behind the second lock on the side. To get the combination for this lock, you will need to watch the race, and most importantly CHEER for your favorite racer!!
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 Horses!
The Georgia horse industry has a $2.5 billion impact on the Georgia economy every year! There are more than 74,000 horses in Georgia today! Did you know that each year, 27 million Americans ride a horse? 🤔
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!!
First of all, make sure you have a 9V battery! Insert the battery and follow the directions! When the race begins, you have to CHEER!! YES, YOU HAVE TO CHEER! LOUDLY! When you cheer long enough, the race will start. The final position of the horses reveals the combination to the lock!
