Ghost Bridge Traditional Geocache
Murex: The Ghost won, but it was fun while it lasted. The best part was how I first discover the old bridge. Also, it was nice to see the redevelopment of the bridge and the extention of the bike trail. Cheers.

What a change over the years. When I first found the bridge, I followed a little used path with a honeysuckle canopy. Just as I came out of the canopy, there was this old rusty, abandoned bridge. It was ghostly looking, therefore, a perfect spot for a cache.
Over the years, the cache was muggled many times, I think by the ghosts. In the fall of 2004, reconstruction of the bridge began and the cache was lost once more. I moved the cache to its current location with the thought of moving it once the bridge was complete. But the ghosts have allowed this location to remain, so who am I to argue.
Now that the bridge construction is complete, it is not as ghostly. But being able to ride across the river is a treat. Getting to the bridge is easier, but getting to the cache is a little harder than before. The cache is located down the embankment inside a sycamore tree (called ghost trees by the Indians because of the white bark). Once off the embankment, the GPS unit may lose its signal, therefore, I suggest getting a bearing while on the paved path, finding a target, and then begin your search.
This cache was never intended to be difficult. It was simply meant to share a nice part of the river and the old bridge with others.
