Geocache Description:


MRII warren is on the Forest Home Drive Bridge #1
The bridge was not taken to the hospital for a MRI but it is listed as a Metal Riveted Double-Intersection Warren through Truss, Stationary, which is a bit much for a cache name.
This one is interesting in that it has a double intersection truss that is uncommon in this area.
It was built in 1909 by the Groton bridge company. Additional information and photo’s are at: (visit link)
