This is one of four caches hidden in the Jim Beam Nature Preserve in southern Jessamine County.
The preserve is a small area that includes a 1-mile loop trail. Four caches are hidden along the loop, this camo taped sandwich sized container is in a clearing, so you should get a solid signal. Be sure to complete the circle hike and notice the old stone fences running through the forest. These are placed with permission from The Nature Conservancy, please tread lightly and don't go bush-whacking, you shouldn't need to!
DIRECTIONS: From Lexington follow US 27 south for approximately 16.6 miles to Hall's Road. Turn right on Hall's Road. You will see large distillery buildings a historic marker immediately prior to your right turn. Proceed on Hall's Road 0.7 miles to the blacktop lane on the right marked Payne Lane. Immediately prior to the lane you will see a blue house on the right. Turn right onto Payne Lane. Proceed 200-300 yards to just before the lane curves right. Rather than curve, continue straight onto a gravel drive, past a boarded-up white house. This gravel drive leads to the preserve parking area. Unfortunately, there are no signs leading you to the preserve. When we spoke to Lisa about it, she said they've placed signs out there before, but they keep getting stolen. Something about the name "Jim Beam Nature Preserve" makes them a hot item 
VISITOR STATUS:The Jim Beam Nature Preserve is open 365 days a year from sunrise to sunset. Visitors may enjoy low impact activities that include hiking, photography and bird-watching.
