Geocache Description:

We trust you will enjoy the bridge series. They were put out for you to find. We hope it helps you building your collection of smileys. If you find any cache in need of a little TLC, please feel free to give it the care it needs. I would rather have you help it than have to take it out, until we can repair it. Thanks for your help and thanks for coming and finding our caches, we hope you find them all!

We decided to do a series of some of the Bridges of Atchison County.   No, we don't have covered bridges, but we do have some pretty neat old bridges, and some new ones.   We hope you enjoy visiting some of them.  While placing these caches, we came upon deer, buffalo, coyote, rabbits, and one ole hoot owl, that was telling me all about the area or told me to get out, I don't know which. 

You know the drill:  Not all of the roads in Atchison County are paved or gravel.  Some of the roads are dirt roads,use caution,  if the dirt roads are wet - DO NOT ATTEMPT!  

You are looking for a bison tube.

According to Captain Elberhant, of Golden, Co., the Kickapoo Indians once had a village on the Grasshopper river in Atchison county, called Kapioma, after the chief of the band, and it is from this source that Kapioma township took its name.  Captain Berthoud says that father Duerinck, a native of Belgium, who was probably the first Jesuit priest in Atchison county, gave the pronunciation of the name of his Atchison county station as Kah-pi-oma, accent on the syllable "Kah"   This is from the History of  Atchison County, date 1916.
