TED JONES TRAIL
The Ted Jones Trail is a 2.2 mile multi-use paved path that
connects the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) to downtown
Ferguson. It is roughly parallel to Florissant Road, offering a
peaceful tree-lined alternative. The Trail runs through a 392-foot
tunnel below I-70, about half a mile from UMSL. The tunnel is
decorated with a 3-D mural created by local artists and high-school
students. This trail is part of the longer North County
Bikeway, which continues on-road beyond the Ted Jones Trail for
10.4 miles.
TED'S SQUATTY BISON GEOCACHE
Obviously from the name, you're looking for a squatty bison
container. This one is right on the trail. No
bushwacking needed. You'll have to do a little hiking or
biking as this cache is about a half a mile north of the Woodstock
crossing. Parking is next to the trail on Woodstock or in UMSL
parking lot at the south end of the trail. You could also park
on the street on Redmond or Short at the north end of the
trail. The cache is only about a quarter mile from the north
end of the trail. This one is definitely wheelchair
accessible.
Try biking around Ferguson! Here's
a good map of all the bike trails in the St. Louis area
Please look for my other geocaches in wonderful Ferguson
Parks. Geocaches are allowed in St. Louis County
Parks with no prior approval.
FTF Congrats to SHMama!
