I'm heading north for a few days for work in Jackson. Is there any must do caches there? I'm not sure how must time I will get to do any caching.

I haven't done many of the "newer" caches in Jackson, but these are fairly good.

Any of the cache with GeoKeys in the name are creative containers

GC2RWC3 Wrong Turn Cache, placed as a locator to easily find the place where it is at. If you find it you will understand :-)
There are bunches of blue squigglies, which we typically avoid, so we don't know much about them.
There is the Falling Waters Trail, but it is not nearly as full as the WCT of NW Ohio, and actually looks like some of the caches might be missing.
And, as Allenite suggested, the Ella Sharp area has a few caches and is worth stopping by.

I only have a few finds in the area. There's a quick virtual at Ella Sharp Museum. And, a mystery called Your Own Birthday Cache (GC8584). It's a different type of cache, plus its nearly 10 years old.

Sorry to hear that beenhere under the weather. Hope it's very temporary. He had about 50 caches on that 10 mile stretch of the Falling Waters trail. That's a bunch to maintain.

Sounded like it would be a couple months last I talked to him. It sounds like the replacements on the Falling Water Trail would load up the trail to near capacity. Also replacing the caches in Dahlem.
