See my companion cache tour of the North bridges - Covered
Bridge Tour of Bucks County - North. GCB81C Since this South
tour is now a virtual, you can go either direction. But if you want
to link up with the companion tour in the north, which is a
conventional cache, I'd suggest starting at Van Sant and head north
all the way. Note: Regular bridge is washed-out on Dark Hollow Road
across the Tohickon Creek so you'll have to use another road to
"connect" both tours. Then head up north picking up my West bridge
tour - GCHDPN If you pre-plan, you can do all three caches in one
giant loop. Or you can do each of the three tours separately.
If you enjoy tours like this one, check out my other covered
bridge caches. Click on Covered Bridge Bookmark Alan2 on right.

In order to report a “find” for this cache send an email to me
with the three answers.
Go ahead and post your “find” at the same time – I trust ya. If
you have a camera, post a picture of your touring crew at one of
the bridges. It’ll make for a nice album.

THE BRIDGE BUILDER
An old man going a lone highway
Came at the evening cold and gray
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim
The sullen stream had no fears for him
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near
"You are wasting your time with building here.
You never again will pass this way
Why build you this bridge at eventide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head
"Good friend in the way that I've come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This stream that has been as naught to me
To the fair-haired youth might a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."
