Geocache Description:

Congratulations gator bait four ---FTF!!!!

UPDATE 2/7/10 The cache has been replaced and the final coordinates have been moved. I have updated the clue information below to reflect the change. This cache is one of a series of planned caches. It is meant to explore the history of Glynn County Georgia and it's beautiful coastal marshes. "The Marshes of Glynn" was written in 1878 by poet Sidney Lanier. He was a poet who wrote for magazines in an effort to support his wife and three sons. Name after the poet, the Sidney Lanier Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that spans the South Brunswick River in Brunswick, Georgia. The current bridge was built as a replacement to the original lift bridge which was twice struck by ships. It is currently the longest spanning bridge in Georgia and is 480 feet tall. It was named for poet Sidney Lanier. Each year (usually in February), there is the "Bridge Walk" sponsored by South East Georgia Medical Center when the southside of the bridge is closed to traffic and people register to walk (or run) the bridge. The original Sidney Lanier Bridge was opened June 22, 1956, and was built by Sverdrup & Parcel, the same firm that designed the I-35W Mississippi River bridge which collapsed catastrophically in 2007. On November 7, 1972 the ship African Neptune struck the bridge, causing parts of the bridge to collapse and causing several cars to fall into the water. Ten deaths were caused by the accident. On May 3, 1987 the bridge was again struck by a ship, this time by the Polish freighter Ziemia Bialostocka. Scenes from the original version of The Longest Yard were filmed on the first Sidney Lanier Bridge. The raising of the lift span was used by Burt Reynolds' character to escape the police. From wikipedia.org The posted coordinates are to the clue. N31 06 2(X-7)5 W 81 29 48(Y-2) The cache contains a couple of gems for the FTF, a logbook, pen, and some other goodies.
