Geocache Description:

Easy park and grab located at an old bridge that spans the Great Miami River north of Logansville, Ohio

Old bridges and structures interest me and I thought this would be a nice place for a cache. Parking is very limited. The best place to park is on the southwest corner of the bridge. Please be careful not to encroach on the private driveway. Cache contains a log only, so you'll need to bring your own writing utensil.
