Geocache Description:

This is a Letterbox cache. The posted coords are where you will proceed East. But you will need some information from between the parking coords 42 56.963 085 33.334 and the corner (posted coords) to assist in your progress on this letterbox.

"U starting at Y" GSRCJ - SummerEnd Ride 2012 is a Letterbox cache in the "G"reat "S"ummer-end "R"iding "C"ache "J"ourney.

I have been thinking about putting together a bike trail series and just kept putting it off. Finally at the end of 2012 - I am going to get this series out for cachers to enjoy. It is best to either walk or bike down the bike trail for these caches.

There is not good parking along Ada Drive for these - Parking along the road it NOT preferred. If you are going to drive for these caches please park on a side road or safely in a parking area near a cache. Some parking coords are included in the ends of the series as well as a spot on hall and cascade.

For this letterbox park at the posted parking coords (n42 56.963 w085 33.334 to start your journey. This is a great place to leave your vehicle while you bike the trail.

From the parking spot proceed South. Making note of the number and type of telephone poles that you pass on your right of you as you proceed to the Starting coords. Those coords should put you on the bike trail..... Once at the corner take the number of wood telephone poles that you passed less the number of metal telephone poles. This is the number drive way that you will want to proceed too. BUT WAIT. There are two more pieces of info you need. At the posted coords there is a sign. On that sign it reminds you that __ ________ _________ are allowed.
Please do use appropriate vehicles on the trail. Always a good idea to be safe and wear a helmet too! Take note of the 4 digit number that is in the circle at the top of this sign. We will call it ABCD and the first letter of those words in the three blanks.
you will need three digits of the number and us that letter shortly.

Proceed East the number of driveways that you calculated.
When there turn the direction of that "Letter" proceed "ACD" feet (approximate distance and direction). If you look to the right you will see a suspect spot. I would check the center target and there you should find the ammo can that you seek.

Please do not take the stamp that is in the container that is part of the letterbox.

Enjoy the hunt.
