Geocache Description:


NOTE: the cache is NOT at the coordinates specified, you will need to figure out the location below.

If you want to find this cache you will first have to find all five caches in the Sandy Bridge series and collect the clues from each... but first, a bit about the Sandy Bridges series:

There is a series of bridges through the parks that follow Sandy Creek as it flows towards the South Pine River between Old Northern Road and Albany Creek Road. Each of the caches in this series are placed on/near five of these bridges. I spent many hours as a kid playing in these parks and on these bridges. Even though all of the bridges have been replaced with newer versions, my memories of all of these places will now live on with these caches. The parks around here have always had an abundance of Paperbark Trees - which were rather fun to play with as a child! They have been in these parks for as long as I can remember, and they don't seem to have changed much in 30+ years!
