Geocache Description:

You're looking for a brown bison style tube, easily accessed but well concealed. BYOP. This might well be a good site for a future CITO event, as there are only 16 original covered bridges left in the state. Could this be the beginnings of a literary-themed series of caches? Stay tuned...

Howard's Covered Bridge was built in 1904-05 to replace an earlier structure, this bridge bears the name of a pioneer family who settled near Big Cloud´s Creek in the late 1700s. Constructed in the Town lattice design using convict labor, the 164-foot bridge´s web of planks crisscrosses at 45- to 60-degree angles and are fastened with wooden pegs, or trunnels, at each intersection. The south Georgia timber used in the bridge was transported to Smithonia via the Smith and Dunlap Railroad, a standard gauge steam railroad connecting the farm complex of James Monroe Smith with the Georgia Railroad at Dunlap. Congrats to Colt308 and Pam308 for co-FTF!!! That was fast work... Log is still in the brown bison tube, but the cache itself is now larger.
