This Cache

The cache is inside the small shed at the posted coordinates.

You will need to find the combination to the box that holds the log.  It was on some eggs, but those eggs all seem to be broken now!  Can you put them back together and find the combination to the lock?

 

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 Eggs! 

Did you know that on the average day, Georgia produces 6.3 million table eggs and 5.5 million hatching eggs?  That translates to over 4.7 billion eggs a year valued at over $660 million!!

 

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!!

You will need to assemble the four eggs and then find the proper spot on the template.  You will know you have the proper spot when the color of the number on the egg matches the color of the number that displays in the hole.  Then, just do the math between the number on the front of the egg and the number in the hole to figure out the combination!
