Geocache Description:

Bedford County Covered Bridge

There are a total of 14 covered bridges in Bedford County. Four of them are privately owned. Three others are already cache locations. I plan on completely a series to finish out all the covered bridges in the county that are not privately owned. For a complete listing of covered bridges in Bedford County, you may go to their visitor bureaus website. This bridge is a Burr Truss bridge with horizontal bracing at truss top level. It spans Bob's Creek, just west of Route 869, about 1.5 miles northwest of Osterburg. Bypassed by a steel and concrete bridge in 1973, it is now closed with a cable across the entrance. County owned. It has vertical boards on the lower 1/3rd of the bridge. It sits on stone and mortar abutments. Please do not trespass onto the bridge. Cache container is on/near the structure, but you do not need to walk on it. My daughter decorated this container for me, so please excuse the spelling on the outside. Happy Caching!

CONGRATS TO LT SILVERFOX AND DT SILVERFOXETTE ON FTF!!!
