Geocache Description:

I-275 Bike Trail - Calcott cache is located south of Nine Mile Road along the I-275 Bike Trail. There is parking nearby and large gaps in the fencing if you are on foot. You can also view an online trail map on Google Maps. It includes markers for official access points to the trail.


There about a dozen caches on the I-275 Bike Trail between the northern end and Eight Mile Road. There is space for two or three dozen more. This is one of a set of two south of Nine Mile to fill in that section. Since I am not sure what order I will place them in I am naming some of them after bicycle manufacturers. This cache is named after the Calcott. Calcott was a small English company that started by making bicyles in 1886. Eventually they also started making motorcycles and automobiles, switching to only automobiles in 1913.

This is intended to be a Ride & Grab cache. The cache container is a small camo painted bison tube. You will need a log extractor. Please bring your own pencil or pen.

I have found that a quick and simple log extraction tool can be made from a small paperclip. Straighten one end out. Grab just a small portion (maybe 1/32 of an inch or 1 millimeter) with a long-nose or needle-nose pliers then bend it at a right angle. I have attached one to the cache you can use. Please leave it for the next person.
