*Happy \(\pi\) Day 2021 from a geometry teaching geocacher who happens to teach in room 314! I have added three new geocaches to the bike trail geocache system started by Moonchild1800. I assume these three once upon a time existed but have been archived since, so they are back from the dead but not the originals.*
Welcome to the MCT Schoolhouse trail! You can walk, bike, rollerblade and even walk your dog on the trails. We noticed that this bike trail had hardly any caches so we decided to place some. We plan to put out more, but if anyone else wants to help extend the caching trail feel free! Hope you enjoy!
We numbered these West and East using the Metro East Park & Recreation District Office (MEPRD) and rest stop as our central point.
