Geocache Description:

This is the Ladybug Kids' seventh cache hide and the fourth in the series of caches accessible year-round via one of Fairbanks' bicycle trails. 


       

The Ladybug Kids sincerely hope your wheels stay round and tires stay full of air during your tour of the Bike Trail cache series so they don't meet the same fate this cache did.  If you travel more of the trail than you see while visiting this cache you will be rewarded with views of Noyes Slough, ponds with wildlife, Dog Mushers' Hall, Ballaine Lake, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and last, but certainly not least, Hot Licks Ice Cream, a favorite place to end a bike ride on a warm summer day.  

This is a multi-use path.  In the summer, the path is frequented by bicyclists, runners, baby joggers, dog walkers, rollerbladers and roller skiers.  In the winter, the trails are used by bicyclists (even down to -40° F/C), runners, walkers, skiers, and skijorers because they are packed so nicely by snowmobile traffic.  Due to Fairbanks' long cold winters, many sections of the bike trails have been frost heaved, making a mountain or hybrid bicycle the most practical means of two-wheeled transportation. 

The cache has only a logsheet and a First-To-Find prize. There is no room for trade goods except perhaps Where's George dollars and similar items.  BRING YOUR OWN PENCIL.

Be sure to record the mystery cache code word from the title block of the cache log sheet .  You will need the code word to find an upcoming bonus mystery cache.

If you "cache and dash" this cache rather than tour the bike trail, please park in one of the pullouts to the north and NOT on the road shoulder.
