Geocache Description:

This geocache is located in the Brighton State Recreation Area and offers miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horse riding. A motor vehicle permit is needed and daily permits are $6.00 for Michigan residents, $8.00 for non-residents.

Please keep in mind that all trails in the Brighton State Recreation Area are pass through lands open to hunting.

This geocache is located along one of the bridle trails in the park. This particular trail is a bend between two roads and shaped like a horseshoe, hence the geocache's name. The trails are well defined and marked, but can be a bit uneven at points and quite muddy after sufficient rain. The geocache is off the trail, but no bushwhacking is required.

Parking is minimal, so find what is available. There are multiple entry points onto the trail. Starting from the trailhead would make this a .22 mile hike. There is a waypoint for a nice scenic view. Make sure to stop by and see it. It's a nice area and a nice hike.

This geocache was placed to help promote geocaching during the DNR's Spring Fling event on May 6, 2007. This geocache is one of the first to be placed under the new agreement between the DNR and the Michigan Geocaching Organization (MiGO) which allows MiGO members to place geocaches in state parks without a permit fee.

This geocache was stocked with a good amount of trade items. Please trade fairly for other geocachers. Travel bugs and geocoins are welcome.

The container is a rectangular, clear, Lock & Lock box with some camouflage Duck Tape strategically placed.

We take great care in creating and hiding our geocaches. If ever one of our geocaches needs maintenance of any type, please do not hesitate to contact us by posting a log or by e-mail. We will promptly rectify the problem.

Don't forget Cache In Trash Out.

An unactivated travel bug was the FTF prize. It was claimed by ndimmick on May 4, 2007. Congratulations!
