Tri-Cities Geocoin Challenge 2012
“Trekking the Trails”
This is one of 30 caches placed as part of the 2012 Tri-Cities Geocoin Challenge.
There are 10 geocaches placed in each of the three cities. To earn all 3 pieces of the puzzle geocoin, you must find all 30 caches. Each cache has a code word written inside. Remember to record the word; you will need that code word to fill out your entry form. Only one city coin will be awarded per household which will give you one set.

The Cable Bridge, officially called the Ed Hendler Bridge and sometimes called the Intercity Bridge, spans the Columbia River between Pasco and Kennewick in southeastern Washington as State Route 397. It was constructed in 1978 and replaced the Pasco-Kennewick Bridge (also known as the Green Bridge), an earlier span built in 1922 and demolished in 1990.
At the time, the bridge was thought to be the first in the United States to use a 'cable-stayed' design and is constructed almost entirely of prestressed concrete (knowledge of the Captain William Moore Bridge, an asymmetric cable-stayed bridge near Skagway, Alaska, which was completed three years earlier, was not widespread outside Alaska)[citation needed]. The bridge towers were constructed first, with the bridge deck, which was cast in individual segments, raised up and secured to each other.
