Geocache Description:


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.

MR. JONES BIX BOX GEOCACHE

This cache is a large lock-top plastic container.  It's very close to the edge of the trail but you will have to walk a few steps into the undergrowth next to the trail.  No bushwacking in the winter but maybe a little bit in the summer.  I've filled this one with lots of fun stuff for the kids and a trackable.  Please don't take the pencil!  This one is less than a quarter mile from the south end of the trail.  Parking is next to the trail on Woodstock or in UMSL parking lot at the south end of the trail. 

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!
