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 Blue Bridge is also home to the most car accidents in the entire Tri-Cities area, with one occurring almost every three days. During rush hour, the junction of U.S Route 395 and State Route 240 on the southbound side of the bridge is especially crowded. Late in 2005, it was announced that funding had been obtained in order to remedy the situation, by modifying the approaches and exits to the bridge, especially at the Highway 395 southbound exit on the Kennewick side of the bridge. This included constructing two roundabouts in place of the usual cloverleaf pattern. Construction began February 23 and was completed in October 2009.
In 2002, the Blue Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
