This
is a Micro Cache hidden at the site of the first
railroad bridge over the Rutland Line and Predecessors in
Ogdensburg. You will need to bring a pencil to sign the log. My
GPSr had an accuracy of 12 feet while placing this
cache.
Please place the cache back
exactly as you found it. Stealth is required as there are muggles
all around the area.
