Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Berks Explorers Seeking Tupperware (aka BEST) Geo-Art series. This series was created to teach Geocacher's about Berks County, and some of it's interesting facts, places, people and heritage. Once all 55 caches are found, your Geo-Art reward will be completed. Although all caches are hidden near the Lake Ontelaunee Reservoir, it is not at these posted coordinates - no swimming is required to obtain any cache in this series *smile*

 

BEST Geo-Art: T02/46


Spring Township, Berks County, PA


This historic wooden covered bridge is located in Spring Township. It is one of five covered bridges remaining in Berks County and is also known as the “Red Covered Bridge.”


The bridge is a 165-foot-long, Burr Truss Bridge, constructed in 1867. It crosses the Tulpehocken Creek and serves as the walkway entrance to the Berks County Heritage Center. It is the largest single-span covered bridge in Pennsylvania.


The name of this covered bridge is the...


A. Driebelbis Covered Bridge (N 40° 28.027 W 075° 54.705)
B. Griesemers Covered Bridge (N 40° 28.019 W 075° 54.716)

E. Wertz Covered Bridge (N 40° 28.027 W 075° 54.716)


Note: You can visit this bridge at N 40 22.117, W 75 58.733


Note:  This cache has the hunting attribute selected. Hunters wear orange, and when the time is right, and so should you. During hunting season, it is best to do this series on a Sunday. The majority of the cache containers are hidden within 10 - 20 feet from the trail. Since these caches are hidden in the woods, you will encounter things like wildlife, poison ivy, bugs, ticks, etc. That is just part of geocaching in the great outdoors. Good Luck.

 

Please note that GC4W6EB - 1 leg, 2 leg, 3 leg more was archived to make room for this BEST Geo-Art geocache.  Thanks Rentell.
