Geocache Description:


This area has few geocaches as I write this, and even fewer Park and Grabs, we decided this would be a perfect spot. 

This specific location has a name that us townies often call "the bridge to nowhere". Its an interesting area that looks a little weird on the outside -- why is there a Road Closed sign at this bridge? 

A Brief history lesson:

The bridge was part of road construction—the Highway 12 bypass— in 2005. The city asked the DOT for an overpass at that location.
The idea?
The area on the other side of the bridge would be perfect for future residential expansion.
In 2008, however, the housing market took its famous nosedive, and development everywhere slowed to a standstill.
The bridge goes over the overpass and then turns into a dirt road that leads to farm fields and one of the city's municipal wells.
The bridge was eventually closed to motor vehicle traffic because of people congregating on the other end of the bridge or drag racing it.

Now, local residents use the bridge to walk their dogs or to take a pleasant stroll over farmland and Highway 12.
