Geocache Description:


The Lake Creek Bridge, or Nelson Creek Bridge as some call it, was built in 1928 for $3,155.
During the summber of 1984, the bridge received a major overhaul. After adding a new center pier, contractors replaced the wooden flooring with pre-cast concrete slab decking. Because the concrete flooring and center pier do not support the trusses, they had to use a crane to slide them into place.
The portal boards on both ends of the bridge had to be replaced in the late 1970's due to damange from oversized log trucks.

Vertically challenged individuals may have problems retrieving this cache. Please put it back EXACTLY how and where you found it.

There is also a letterbox in the nearby guardrail, that is NOT the container you're looking for, you are looking for a small peanut butter jar painted green.
