This Cache
This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates
Those darn cows seem to be lost!
To find the cows (and the cache), you will need to complete this quick, 4-stage multicache! The four stages are very close together and is an easy walk.
When you get to stage 1, push the button and listen closely! Those lost cows have to be somewhere! Follow the sounds and find those cows (and the cache!)
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 Beef!
Did you know that Jackson County ranks #10 in cattle production in Georgia? As a state, Georgia cattlemen own approximately 1.3 million head of cattle worth more than $676 million! Because cattle are grown in all 159 counties of Georgia, the beef industry has a large impact on the state's economy (estimated at more than $2 billion).
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 quick multi will require you to use your ears!
At stage 1, press the button and listen closely! Track the sound down! Note that at times, it may be hard to hear, so it might be preferable to do this with a friend. At the first stop, you'll be given the North coordinates. You will also see a second button.
Push the second button and once again, follow the sound! You will see another item and retrieve the West coordinates!
Now, just go find the cache!
