Geocache Description:


After hearing tales of a haunted bridge we ventured out here to explore and decided that this would be the perfect place for a Geocache. Legend has it that if you visit the bridge around sundown you may hear a blood-curdling scream and be greeted by a spirit from years gone by. That is, if you believe in that sort of thing. Myself, I will politely avoid this bridge unless it is bright & sunny out...

Below, you'll find a link to a short story (or history, depending on your opinion of the supernatural) by Bob Hopkins. Be sure to check it out to learn more about the history of Green Elm Cemetery & the aforementioned bridge. This cache is hidden in a way that muggles will not accidentally stumble upon it, please kindly replace and hide exactly as found. Once you find the cache you will have to walk about 130 feet to be able to see the bridge.

**If there has been a recent rain this area may be difficult to pass through for some vehicles, so bear this in mind before making the drive out.**

  Originally, I wanted to place one cache in the old cemetery and one on the bridge, but found that the Tarrant Regional Water District has the gate to the cemetery locked and that the bridge is inaccessible except by boat currently (this can change depending on the lake level,) so this cache is placed between the two. Use care when approaching the cache, this area can get muddy and slippery with rain.
