Geocache Description:

11 years ago I placed my first cache here. Today it returns.....Same Spot, new contianer, old log is still in the cache for viewing purposes.


Built in the 1880's by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company out of Ohio, this bridge has stood the test of time. 

This bridge is considered to be an 8 panel pin connected Pratt Truss bridge, with a secondary 4 panel Pratt pin pony truss bridge, to make the full length.
Facts on the bridge:
Main Span: 147.9 Feet
Total length: 220.1 Feet
Deck Width 14.8 Feet
Vertical Clearance:
Original: 14.8 Feet
Now: 6 Feet 6 Inches
This bridge is marked as Structurally Defficient and is only Rated for vehicles less than 3 Tons, please be careful when crossing the bridge.

 

The cache container is a LocNLoc contianer which contains a little swag, New log Book and the Original Log book from years past. 

Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy the views.
