Enjoy A back-road drive through the rustic and pretty farmland of central Lehigh County. You'll visit five covered bridges along the Jordan Creek.Answer a Question at each bridge to determine the coordinates of a Cache hidden along the creek in the Trexler Lehigh County Game Preserve. Follow the waypoints I list below. Note that I didn't include a 6th Lehigh bridge, the Bogert, the last in the county. Someone else has already used it as a cache location GC4KGH9.
