Welcome to the sacred ground of two-wheeled glory! This geocache is a tribute to the motorcyclists who paved the road for future generations and honors the motorcycle pioneers, innovators, and heroes who changed the world one mile at a time. Four wheels move the body; two wheels move the soul.
After a long motorcycle ride, helmets, jackets, and lunch boxes need stowed, in order to stretch, relax, and get ready for the next ride. Motorcycling legend E. C. Smith helped grow the motorcycling community and would have placed his gear here for safe keeping.
Smith secured his riding gear for long-term storage in December using the starting year that celebrated 100 years of motorcycling.
