Geocache Description:

Cache is a log only micro. A little bigger than a film canister. Hidden inside the bridge. Parking is scarce. There was very little traffic when we were here on Saturday morning, but I expect it will be busy when you go to hunt this one? So be careful of the traffic.
There is also a nice view of the falls.

I found another Covered bridge. The State of Vermont has the highest number of covered bridges per square mile in the United States.
The Taftsville Bridge is a two span 189 foot long Multiple Kingpost Truss with an arch. Spans are 89 and 100 feet. It carries River Road the over Ottaquechee River in Taftsville Vermont. This bridge was built in 1836. It is the third oldest covered bridge in Vermont, and the second longest.
Multiple Kingpost, Queenpost, Arches and Iron Rods (a true mongrel truss, unique in Vermont)..
Builder: Salmond Emmons III
