Geocache Description:

Located at the Charlton Mill Covered Bridge, a Howe truss bridge built over Massie's Creek.

This is the area where Few and Far Between was previously located. That cache kept getting washed away by flood waters and the owners didn't currently have the time to maintain it, so that one got archived. It's a great place for a cache though, so after some friendly debate about who would place this one it became up to us.

A little history as stated on Few and Far Between's page:
"Sadly, fewer and fewer of these picturesque covered bridges remain and those that do remain have been marred with graffiti. Charlton Mill is not the exception - enjoy the picturesque setting while ignoring the vandals'
artwork. Charlton Mill Bridge, built in 1882 by a man named Henry Hebble, is one of only five covered bridges still standing in Greene County, Ohio. Be sure to stop and take a snapshot of this quickly-disappearing part of Ohio's history."

The cache is large, so bring your trade items and have fun! Be careful of cars while hunting -- the road and bridge are still active although traffic seems to be light. Keep your ears open.

This one shouldn't get washed away anymore but muggling could be an issue - be sure to re-hide the cache appropriately to prevent muggles. Thanks!
