The BridgeMan Cache Traditional Geocache
TMAACA: We stopped by this one this afternoon to check on it and unfortunately the cache is gone. Because of how complicated the container is to make and the limited time I have right now, I am going to reluctantly archive this one - it was one of our favorites. Thanks for all those who went out to look for it.

For eighty-seven years, this was the site of the Stutson Street
Lift Bridge. Built in 1917, the original bridge was expected to
last only 50 years!
All that is left of that bridge now are memories and this scenic
overlook dedicated to local resident and Genesee river advocate
Bill Davis...
Keeping those memories alive at the cache site are plaques telling
the history of the bridges, the Charlotte area, and those that have
worked hard to make this such a great area to live in and
visit.
Even those who have lived here for many years will probably learn
something new!
Nearby, you will see the recently completed O'Rorke Lift Bridge.
The bridge is a double leaf bascule rolling lift bridge designed to
carry four lanes of traffic and accomodate shipping through the
Genesee River.
Under construction for nearly five years and officially opened in
2005; this bridge serves both as a beautiful replacement for the
Stutson Street Bridge and as a memorial to local war hero Patrick
Henry O'Rorke
Take your time looking for the cache and enjoying the area. Please
be sure to bring a pen or pencil because the cache is too small to
accomodate one.
