Geocache Description:

Another bridge in my series of old metal truss bridges.>

Don't go to the above coords they are bogus.

"No" I am not into bridges! They just make good cache spots. My first four bridges were mainly old and out of service bridges but, not this one. I was driving to a job interview today and spotted this bridge. I said what the heck. So I pulled out my trusty container and put a log book pencil and some old Mexican coins and stuck it on the bridge.
This is how it will work for your hunt. In the aviation world, we use bearings and headings "to" and "from" waypoints to navigate the ski. So the trick here is, "to" is the reciprocal of "from" and "from" is the reciprocal of "to". So if I give you a waypoint 360º "to" a point then it would be 180º from that waypoint. Think of a waypoint as a compass. If I said, you are standing on the 90º radial of the waypoint then you are east or the waypoint.(got it) ok lets have fun.
  1. The cache is: 114º to The Bridge the gap III or you could say it is on the 294º radial.
  2. The cache is: 121º to "Bridge the gap IV" or you could say it is on the 301º radial
  3. The cache is: 324º from "Bridge the gap I"
  4. The cache is: 016º from the waypoint posted at the top of the page
