Just another covered bridge cache....well sort of, just not one of those micro this time.
The stream that runs under the bridge is stocked with trout, so beware of fishing muggles.
*** When searching, PLEASE use EXTRA caution especially if caching with younger children. This road can be very busy at times since it is a shortcut between Park City and the neighboring apartment complex. ***
Parking is available on the West side of the bridge.
Here is a little bit of history I found on the bridge:
Landis Mill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans the Little Conestoga Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
A county-owned and maintained bridge, its official designation is the Little Conestoga #1 Bridge.
At 53 feet (16.2 m), it is the shortest covered bridge in the county.
The bridge has a single span, wooden, double pyramidal-shaped Burr-type trusses and a multiple kingpost design with the addition of steel hanger rods. It is the only bridge in the county to use this design. The deck is made from oak planks. It is painted red, the traditional color of Lancaster County covered bridges, on both the inside and outside. Both approaches to the bridge are painted in red with white trim.
Landis Mill Covered Bridge was built in 1873 by Elias McMellen at a cost of $969. McMellen, who built many of Lancaster's covered bridges using the Burr arch truss, chose to build this short bridge using a simpler design with multiple kingpost trusses and, instead of Burr arches, pyramidal-shaped trusses to add additional support.
Container is a camoed lock n lock with a log book and some items for the kids.
