8TH ANNUAL HIKE/BIKE TRAIL EVENT SATURDAY NOVEMBER 04, 2017
WHEN: November 04, 2017 @ 10:00 AM to 11:15 AM stop by to sign the log book and talk geocaching. See the schedule below for the full listing of activities.
WHERE: Parking lot off of Leetown Road @ posted coordinates.
Come spend the day on the trail caching. This event is right about the half way point of the tail. The start time should provide you the chance to start at one end and make your way to the event. Remember like always this is the one day you can get picked up and brought back to your car with your bikes. Yes that is correct get picked up and brought back to this location or at any of the parking locations along the trail. The caches range from easy to find, to difficult to find, with some challenging terrain mixed in. This is not a power trail where all the caches are the same, expect variety. Just like always you can expect some new caches. This event is about you enjoying the day out caching and not having to worry about getting back to your car. A true chance at a one way hike or bike ride grabbing all the caches.

SHUTTLE SCHEDULE:
If you want to take advantage of theSHUTTLE I will give you my phone number and you can give me a call for a pick up until 2:00 PM on the day of the event. I will come and get you from anywhere I can drive too along the trail and take you where ever you parked at.
Last year we had two injuries that involved broken bones. They were at the same location just hours apart. This year no injuries will be allowed! Got it!
As in past years the new caches should all be published before the event so just make sure you load your GPS the night before and you should have all the trail caches. No bike is needed to do the trail you can walk the trail. The trail is paved but it is also hilly. This is not a rails to trails type bike trail. From one end to the other is about 10.5 miles so it would be a total of 21 miles round trip. For a list of important waypoints along the trail see GC4Q1H2 Bike Trail - Welcome to the Trail.
Here are some pictures from over the years.
