This cache has been archived.

Winos_Seattle: I alway hate to archive caches, but this one was muggled twice in 2015 and once in 2017. The area isn't really conducive hides unless the cache is in the canal itself. Thank you to all who have found it and left fun logs. Go-Pher-It takes the award for the best log. Good bye cache.

The Verrazano–Narrows Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge in the U.S. State of New York that connects the New York City boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn. It spans the narrows, the reach connecting the relatively protected upper bay with the larger lower bay.

The bridge is named for both the Florentine explorer Giovanni da Verrazano who, while in the service of Francis I of France, became in 1524 the first European to enter New York Harbour and the Hudson River,  and for the body of water it spans: the Narrows. It has a central span of 4,260 feet (1,298 m) and was the longest suspension bridge  in the world at the time of its completion in 1964, surpassing the Golden Gate Bridge by 60 feet, until it was in turn surpassed by 366 feet by the Humber Bridge in the United Kingdom in 1981. Currently, it has the eleventh longest main span in the world, while retaining its place as the longest bridge span in the Americas. Its massive towers can be seen throughout a good part of the New York metropolitan area, including from spots in all five boroughs of New York City and in New Jersey.

The bridge establishes a critical link in the local and regional highway system. It marks the gateway to New York Harbor; all cruise ships and most container ships arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey must pass underneath the bridge and therefore must be built to accommodate the clearance under the bridge. This is most notable in the case of the ocean liner RMS Queen Mary 2. Since 1976, the bridge has been the starting point of the New York Marathon.

But this is not that bridge.

Inside is a Block Party 14 TB and a log book.

Please replace the cache back in its original location.

Congrats to Lisenka & Kane&I on the FTF.
