Geocache Description:


The cache is not at these coordinates.
But, this is where you should start your journey.

This is the next of "Run/Hike/Bike with Me" caches that I have started since moving to MN. Since most of my cache finds are done while exercising, I thought I would offer this delight to others.

These caches will not necessarily be hard to find, but you will have to put some miles on the legs for them. So lace em up, grab some water, and come join the fun. This ride will hit at about 8.5 miles, roundtrip.


As for the waypoints ...

Q1 (Brewery) - There is a cool area here that talks about the 1800s Shakopee Brewery. From the sign, the brewery was sold to Andrew Winkler in 186_. Consider this A.

Q2 (Leash) - I always wanted to take a right here and see what was down here. However, once I stopped to look, a man came down from the buildings. I asked it if was open to riders. He said "No" and shut and locked the gate in front of me. Sooooo. There is a sign here about dogs and leashes. The sign says "All Pets Must ..." The next word has how many letters. Consider this B.

Q3 (Yellow Sign) - How many letters are in this sign.  Consider this C.

OK, so grab a pen ...

Final:

Hope you had a great ride

 

Earn the 75 and 150 mile Pathtag!

So far there have been 37 of these Hike/Bike/Run With Me Multi-caches - if you were to complete them all, you would have travelled more than 210 miles. Currently (August 2023), there are 32 active geocaches totaling 185 miles (This includes three Hike With Me Adventure Labs). I wanted to give something to the geocachers who have "put a big dent" in trying to find these. So I created two pathtags for all cachers who completed at least 75 and 150 miles while trying to get smileys on these caches. On each of the cache pages, I mention how long the travel should be for that cache. They vary from just a couple miles to a 20-mile mountain bike ride.

Here is a bookmark list of all of the caches.

So, take a look at your finds, add up the miles, and if you are more than 75 or 150 miles, let me know. You can either PM me, email me, or just grab me at an event. You do not have to show/prove anything to me about you qualifying. I will give you one if you say you have qualified.
