A few weeks ago, we attended ASP Geobash XI, our first megaevent. I was given $5 by my grandma to buy whatever I wanted, and I bought a few geocaching containers! I was very excited to buy and place a nano-sized cache in my hometown. My mom grew up near this bridge, and spent a lot of time in this area when she was younger. You will need to bring your own writing utensil, and tweezers may be required to get the log from the container. Please be aware of your surroundings when retrieving the container. Please give feedback on D/T rating.
This bridge was originally built in 1910 and is a Warren through truss bridge style. The Warren truss was patented in 1848 by its designers James Warren and Willoughby Theobald Monzani, and consists of longitudinal members joined only by angled cross-members, forming alternately inverted equilateral triangle-shaped spaces along its length, ensuring that no individual strut, beam or tie is subject to bending or torsional straining forces, but only to tension or compression. Loads on the diagonals alternate between compression and tension (approaching the center), with no vertical elements, while elements near the center must support both tension and compression in response to live loads. This configuration combines strength with economy of materials and can therefore be relatively light. The girders being of equal length, it is ideal for use in prefabricated modular bridges. It is an improvement over the Neville truss which uses a spacing configuration of isosceles triangles. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_bridge#Warren_truss)
