San Diego County is one of the best areas in the country to ride bicycles. Our pleasant year-round climate, varied terrain, and hundreds of miles of bike lanes, paths and trails contribute to an ideal biking environment. To profile some of these bike paths, this geocache series was developed. The selected bike paths are completely separate right-of-ways for the exclusive use of non-motorized travel so pull out those bikes for a healthy, “green” and fun way to geocache.
The third cache in the series is along the pedestrian/bike path that parallels the Forester Creek Improvement Project. This drainage channel was widened and developed to allow improved flood control and better water quality draining into the San Diego River. The section of the bike path provides a traffic-free conduit from Weld to Prospect. For those pedestrians and cyclists arriving at the Gillespie Field Trolley Station, you can use this and the associated paths along the channel to get to Mission Gorge Road.
In addition to this cache, there are several other caches along the entire path making it a “target rich” environment.
Parking is available at the Gillespie Field Trolley Station near the entrance to the southern part of the bike path at N 32 49.665 W 116 59.042. The north end of the bike path is located at N 32.49.884 W 116 59.161.
Enjoy!
Kudos to SKILLET and T.R. Violin for their shared FTF! Well done!
