Rain dates for the above are on the Saturday following the actual date
Northwest Ohio Geocachers are the proud adopters of a two mile section of Lucas County Road 53 (aka Old US-24, aka River Road, aka Anthony Wayne Trail, aka Toledo Napoleon Road), west of Waterville near Grand Rapids, with a portion of our section bordering Providence Metropark, approximately from the 1.5 to 3.5 mile markers. This is the last year that our section was known as US-24, as the new limited access highway alignment opened on August 29, 2012.
Although our section is no longer part of a state highway, ODOT has informed us that they will still support the AAH program for our section for now. We will need to discuss the future of our program with them next year.
Lucas County Road 53 is now Exit 66 from west bound US-24 in Maumee. However our section can be reached easier from either east or west by using US-24 Exit 57, SR-295, S Berky Southern Rd, and then south to River Rd, and west about a mile to our meeting location. While most maps are not yet up-to-date, one free mobile app called Waze correctly maps the new US-24 alignment.
We meet at the American Legion Post 232 (12580 River Rd. at Yawburg Rd.) parking lot, --N 41° 25.756 W 083° 50.607
Don't forget, besides getting a smiley for these events, you're doing the environment a favor. If you have a child over the age of 12 (and accompanied by a parent!) who needs service hours for school or scouts, this is a great opportunity for them.
We usually go partake of Pizza at Pisanellos after the April, June & October CITO's, so there is a reward!
The guidelines for participation are posted on every CITO event that we post.
See you at the CITO!
