Geocache Description:


When I was young all I could think about was riding my dirtbike. The one thing that was more important was my lessons from Magoo.
This certain lesson involved a dirtbike, a streetbike and a real bad road. Magoo was leading the lesson, glancing over his shoulder and instructing me to stay on the high part of the road. The ruts were deep and perfect for me and my bike. His old 305 Superhawk didn't fare so well. The last time he looked back he fell in a rut that caught his street pegs and it stopped him in his tracks. By the time I noticed what was going on I passed him and stopped by a bridge. It took us a while to stop laughing and get his bike back on high ground.
That was almost thirty years ago and we still get a good chuckle anytime we are on or close to this road. Seemed like a good place for a cache. There is a real (?) road now with a bridge you can get across without falling through.
Please follow the normal rules and enjoy the cache.
