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!

Fron the History of Atchison County dated 1916

"The tremendous issue of human slavery was the all absorbing fact, and the long struggle here wrought a complete revolution in the political thought of the whole country.   Men came to Kansas for the most part of political rather than for business or agricultural reasons.  The settlement of Kansas was an inspired political movement of partisans.   There was little room for neutrals, and those who were "too proud to fight" went elsewhere.  There was little consideration on the part of the early settlers of Kansas, of any questions except slavery and anti-slavery.  They came in large numbers from the South and from the North, and met here upon the frontier in a final test of strength.
