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!  

Although there was no public utilities commission in Kansas in 1855, the legislature took upon itself the task of fixing the rates to be charged by the ferry owners, in order that the public would not be robbed.  They were as follows:
Two-horse wagon, or wagon and one yoke of oxen (loaded)   $1.00   unloaded   .75
One additional pair of horses or oxen   .25     
Loose cattle or oxen, per head    .10
Sheep and hogs per head     .05
Man and horse   .25
Foot passengers   .10
One horse and buggy or other vehicle   .50
Two horse buggy or carriage   .75
