Second in a two part series of caches for the Mountain biking adventurest.
Extreme Velocity on Another Cycle. I normally ride a motorcycle to caches but this one down this hill you can pick up some speed on a Bicycle.
The cache runs 1200 feet up from where you begin and you can take 2 mile steep hike or bike up to the cache or a shorter but much rougher 'road' to a 1/2 of a mile hike to the cache.
This is part two of a two part series of caches for those who like to mountain bike. If you like to bike it the hike to the top (or if you are in good shape bike to the top) I would suggest starting at the first set of parking at 40° 22.079N 79° 02.885W. Once you find the cache follow the trail to 40° 21.215N 79° 00.674W, where those who can't handle the walk or don't bike can start. *grin* Then head over to the Long and Winding Road Cache parking for the top and down the trail you shall go. You will return between buildings and follow the creek to a paved road and back to your car for a trip of nearly 9 miles.
If you wish to take the short way or don't have a mountain bike take the gas line back (make sure you don't block the gate at the parking spot) from SR 271 between Ligonier and Johnstown right near the trailhead for the Laurel Ridge Trail. You are looking for a 7.62 ammo can.
The rankings are for the shorter hike. If you would come from the bottom I would tack on at least another star for the terrain due to the climb that will come (nearly double your starting altitude.)
Finally this is all State game land where you are caching so please be careful as I saw several deer while placing this cache, and where the deer are, so are the hunters. Therefore you should make sure you wear your blaze orange during hunting season.
