Bridge No. 35-08-23, North Pole Covered Bridge
Located northeast of Ripley, this bridge is a 169-foot Smith truss
built in 1875. This patented truss replaced an earlier iron bridge.
It was a twin to the Eagle Creek Covered Bridge upstream on State
Route 763, also built in 1875 by the same company. A devasting
flood in March, 1997, heavily damage the North Pole Bridge and
destroyed its upstream twin. North Pole Covered Bridge is another
example of a long single-span bridge. Old stone walls border the
road leading east from the bridge.

from
Brown County Dept of Tourism.
This shouldn't be too dificult to find. You're looking for a
small plastic jar. It's not hidden inside the bridge and there's no
need to dismantle anything. Please respect the bridge and not
destroy anything. Post a picture of yourself at the bridge if you
can. There is a spot to park on the south side of the bridge.
Congrats to wounded Knee for FTF!
