Geocache Description:

Decided to take a back road on my way back to Austin when I stumbled across this bridge. After doing a little research I discovered this bridge has a history! Of course, my next thought was is there a cache here? Well, there is now!

Caution: Although there is not much traffic on this road, I decided not to place cache on the bridge itself because it is still in use and is only one lane east! Parking may be problematic but you can pull over on a shoulder on the west bound bridge.

Congrats to JForceAtx for FTF and for actually putting a log in the cache!! Duh!
