This Cache
This cache IS at the posted coordinates.
There are two locks on the outside of this cache. The combination to both locks is 2021.
To get to the log, you will need to solve a bit of a puzzle!
Just check out the cool info about the bees and soon enough, you'll find the combination to the lock that holds the log!
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 Honey!
Georgia has 75,000 bee colonies and about 2,000 hobby and commercial beekeepers! The industry generates $70 million each year in the sale of honey, beeswax, and bees themselves! Georgia is currently ranked #16 in honey production in the United States!
Fun fact! Due to its acidic pH and the presence of organic acids, honey is not conducive to bacterial growth and will never go "bad"!
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!!
To get to the log, examine each of the numbered panels. In addition to learning some cool information about bees, you'll find numbers to the combination for the lock! When you remove the last few panels, you'll see the locked compartment. Open it up to find the log!
