VA Star 047 v2 Mystery Cache

Because of health issues and extreme damage to the trail on which the original VA star was located the original star had to be archived. Many thanks to Nocona 1, queenofscots, and others who made that star possible. Nocona 1 graciously allowed us to use her descriptions and questions to make v2 possible.

Thanks to Andyw3901, vabreeze, Team K.M.Y, and NPGlenn for their time in making v2 possible. And a special thanks to High Bridge Trail State Park for permission to place the caches along the trail.

A State Star Geoart is being planned for each of the 50 states here in the US. Here is your chance to lay claim on ours.

Answers to the Virginia trivia questions are in the CACHE LISTINGS for #001 or #050 to get your coordinates to each of the other caches. A question and multiple choice answers are on each cache page. Once you find all 50 caches in the series, you will have a HUGE star comprised of smiley faces on your caching map!

The Virginia state star is in High Bridge Trail State Park, a rail trail in Southside Virginia converted from a rail line last belonging to Norfolk Southern. The lineal park traverses Appomattox, Nottoway, Cumberland, and Prince Edward counties as well as Pamplin City, Prospect, Farmville, Rice and Burkeville. High Bridge was built by the Southside Railroad in 1854 to cross the Appomattox River and connect Petersburg with Lynchburg. The bridge is approximately 2,400 feet (730 m) long and ranges from 60 to 125 feet (18 to 38 m) high. It was originally made of wood trusses laid onto 20 brick piers. The upper level held a rail bridge and a pedestrian walkway, while the lower level was for wagons.
