But it's not just this old, rusty structure that is bridging a gap. The cache itself bridges a gap as well. "What gap?" you might ask. That would be the gap between your fear of heights and unsure footing... and your desire for a new smiley on your geocaching map. For some... this gap will be much larger than it is for others.
About half of the boards making up the deck of this bridge are missing. And the distance from what decking there is... down to the water below... looks to be around 30 feet. It's no lie to say I was inspired by 87prelude20a3's Enoch Knob's Old Scary Bridge (GC2PZA9). That was my first experience with a cache on a decomissioned bridge that brought out a certain level of terror. But it wasn't my last... and I've been searching for a similarly-scary bridge where I could place a cache of my own. And I think this bridge meets my expectations.
You are searching for a camo'd waterproof container that is about sandwhich-sized. It's going to be hard enough to find the cache without making it a micro... so I didn't. It probably goes without saying... but be careful not to fall... or to drop the container into the water below. The cache is beginning its life with two of my signature item, three of my dual-sided maze Extagz and the log.
Note: For those of you that know sgtmta... this is a cache that sgt would not do... but I'm fairly certain that mta would (but then I'm not sure there's much he wouldn't do for a smiley). Please watch where you step as some of those old boards are not as solid as they appear. There are many places where the boards are just plain gone. And the short span between the end of the road and the eastern end of the bridge's main deck has begun to collapse. You can probably walk through there safely if you are careful... but I highly recommend approaching from the west instead.
Congratulations to Dad71 & akl2112 for being first to find!
