Interesting Jekyll Island Geocaching Post
Friday, October 23rd, 2009Log Date: 10/22/2009
Nice hide and thanks to log by mwillefl I knew the coords were about 40′ off and that helped when looking. I took new coords and they are N 31° 06.082 W 081° 24.854. My GPS showed 43′ difference and I am adding a waypoint (above) to this log for my coords. NIce ‘tool box’, not what I expected - smaller and more hi-tech. TFTC!
Geocaching is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy Jekyll Island! This log post is from a geocache that Jekyll Island Marketing placed, and there are many more! Visit www.geocaching.com for a list of coordinates of the hidden treasures on the island or anywhere you visit.Really Cool Geocache Log at Circle of Oaks Cache

Javonne and I placed “Bobblehead Paul” bobblehead doll in the cache after cleaning and drying out the cache box. This doll was found by us in St. Anthony, Newfoundland last month and carried to the Jekyll Island to be found and moved on. The cache is being tracked by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Shift” show on radio broadcast by Paul Castle, the host of “Shift”. The finder needs to contact Paul when he/she finds and moves it. My radio interview on this find can be heard at: www.cbc.ca/shift/interviews. The interview was done on September 8, 2009. Please help Paul find a great new location. Bill Hall (fhall9600)

A Real Pirates Treasure
 January 10 Quick find on a bike ride across the island. We’ll be back for super. Took bug and left pirate coin. |
| January 9 Found, looking forward to checking out the food. Beach is beautiful. L - gator T - bug TFTC |
| January 2 Nice place for a cache! Left a TB. TFTC!! |
| December 28, 2008 first find and it was really fun |
Some are more baffling than others. I couldn’t find The Ruins today and I put it there but it was found just recently.
 January 17 Tried 3 caches put out by JI today and found none of them. Are the JI caches removed? |
| January 9 Didn’t find it, which surprised me after the last guy found it. Oh well.  |
| January 8 We couldn’t find this cache. We did find a very large amount of “TICKS” howerver. Be warned. B & D |
| January 4 TFTC! |
| December 31, 2008 where or where….could not find this one!!!!! |
| December 31, 2008 Was caching with operationsoak, soccercoach, flamingoquilter and jaxbeachhandyman today. Did not find it, but the sun was getting low and we wanted to get to the south end of the island, will have to try again. |
| December 31, 2008 I was with the family and didn’t find it either. I’m glad I didn’t find the spiders either! Have to try again next time! |
| December 31, 2008 Out with the family, and none of us could find this one. Looked everywhere we could called it short to go to the other end of the island before sunset. I have to return to California, but hopefully the family will find this one on the next visit. But t was a great area, wished I could of had a history lesson…. |
| December 29, 2008 Sidekick and I used GPS readings not under the trees to zero-in on this one, Good hide TNLN SL TFTH |
| December 26, 2008 We left a pink jewel in the cache when we found it. The find was the perfect level of “trickiness” for our group. Thanks! |
Picnic Area is bit tricky…
| Cache Logs | |
| January 9 beat the bushes and didn’t see it. |
|
| January 6 [My family and I looked for a while with no luck...It would help if I had an idea of what kind of container I was looking for.] [Update from the cache owner:] The container is a small black waterproof (if people close it right) about 8 x 6 and about 2 inches tall
|
|
| January 3 No luck here. Looked around for about 20 minutes and could not find it before the gnats decided to devour us. Great spot again on this beautiful island. |
|
| January 1 The new coordinates are better than the old by about 50 ft. Once you find it you wonder why it was so hard. Our first find of 2009. Took nothing, left a nickel. “Happy New Year” |
|
| December 31, 2008 a great find on this wonderful island!!!! Left a flamingo key chain…. |

ourdigitaljourney found Super Nature Trail
Monday, October 27th, 2008
Nice peaceful trail. Saw the eagle’s nest on the edge of the marsh, and after a long hunt, found the gator ion the edge of the pond, only showing one eye (see pic). Found the cache right away. T: frog L: lanyard
