The I-275 Bike Trail now uses Meadowbrook Road to connect the section further to the north to that along of M-5. This is one of a set of six caches to fill in the area up to 12 Mile Road. As with the other sections, I am naming them after bicycle manufacturers. This cache is named after Simson & Company. Simson & Company was German manufacture that began in 1856 first producing steel and then guns. In 1898 they began producing bicycles followed by automobiles in 1907. The Simson family was Jewish and was forced to flee Germany in 1936 after which the company was seized by the Nazis and was merged with another company.
It is not in the juniper tree. There is poison ivy there. The cache container is a small bison tube. You may 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.
