Directions to parking area: Take I-90 to Exit # 223 (Austinburg Exit). Head North on Rt. 45. Almost immediately turn east (right) onto Ashtabula-Austinburg Road. You will see a Bike Trail Sign on your right at Old Austinburg Road. Turn onto that road. Follow Old Austinburg Road to the end and down the hill to the Bike Trail Parking Lot. Most of this walk is on the paved, flat Western Reserve Bike Trail. The walk to the cache is a little less than a mile.
The reason I chose to place a cache here is to introduce the Western Reserve Greenway Trail, Ashtabula County's newest (as of July, 2002) recreational playground. This bike path extends north (approx. 7 miles) to West Avenue in Ashtabula (City) and south. The ultimate goal is to extend the bike path all the way south to Youngstown.
There is a lot of traffic on this trail so please use discretion when searching for the cache and please restore it to its "hiding spot" after you exchange items and make sure container cannot been seen from afar so as not to spoil the hunt for the next cacher.
The catch is that the coordinates do not take you directly to the cache. Start from the location the above coordinates take you to. To find the actual cache container, walk approx. 22 steps east of WRGT. You should then be standing in front of the cache site, give or take a couple feet:)
Thank you for taking the time to visit Ashtabula County and my Cache. While in the area please allow time to check out our wonderful wineries and covered bridges and don't forget to visit my Wine Country I Canine Cache which is located 2.5 miles SW along this same Bike Trail as well as Autograph Please and Road Less Traveled which are in the same general area of the Parking Area I've suggested. Remember: CACHE IN TRASH OUT!
Thanks for visiting my cache.
