Geocache Description:


The 13 Curves are in about a mile of Cedarvale road. They wind down next to the west branch of Onondaga Creek between Cards Corners and the Hamlet of Cedarvale. This is a scary drive over 35 mph, especially down hill in the southbound lane.
As legend has it, a man and a woman were married on Friday the 13th. On there wedding night the newlyweds were traveling down the dark winding southbound lane when they missed one of the turns, their car plunged into the chilly creek, killing both of them.
Ever since, so the legend goes, the ghostly bride has wandered the darkened, twisted rural road looking for her husband.
When she appears, she’s wearing a bloody white dress. She comes at you closer and closer and at times will walk right through your vehicle. You can feel her presence, sometimes she’ll appear in the back seat of a car as people drive thru the curves, spooking some so bad that they crash. She is more active on Friday the 13th and midnight on Halloween.

These coordinates will bring you to the starting point of your ghostly drive (42°59.330N, 076°15.035). You don't have to look at your GPS until you reach the end of the curves. Bring something small and scary and take something scary
If you count the curves and wonder where the 13th curve is, curve 2 and 3 are both left hand turns. There’s a long straight section of road after curve 1 and a short straight section after curve 2. After that, hang on if your going fast.
