Geocache Description:


This is a new geocache for a brand new bridge. You are looking for a traditional small container hanging up and under in a winter-friendly location. 

The old wooden bridge here, was one of the last fully wooden bridges across highways in Ontario, according to the construction worker who contacted me to ask if I wanted him to carefully remove my geocache from the wooden bridge before it was taken down. I archived that geocache after rescuing my container, and waited for the new bridge to be built. 

The contruction crew also created a brand new parking lot for all of us who love to throw our kayaks and canoes in here and paddle the 7 kms down to Stoney Lake. It's a great route! If you are going paddling, be prepared to portage a couple of times. If you are going kayaking, I would suggest parking on the west side of the highway, in the parking lot, then carrying your kayak 50 metres under the bridge to the east side where it's a bit easier to get the kayaks down to the creek. But if you are just targeting this one geocache, you don't need a boat, maybe a monkey, but not a boat. Good luck and don't bang your head (like I did.... twice).
