Geocache Description:


This is one of the most unique bridges I have found.  There is not much structure to the bridge.  If you look in the water, it appears that black corrugated drainage pipes were laid down in the creek and then it looks like the concrete was poured over the drain pipes, and thus a bridge was born.  

***In the rainy season, the middle of this bridge is under water. If you are looking for this after heavy rains, stay on the gravel lane and be careful where you turn around...the ground will be soft. 

=============================================

During the Great Isolation of 2020, during COVID-19, I socially distanced by putting the top down and driving through Bedford County, VA, which is where I call home. As I drove around, I began to encounter so many one-lane bridges that I felt compelled to begin a new series called The Bridges of Bedford County.

I’m not sure how many caches will end up in this series, but most are micro bison tubes. You may need tweezers to retrieve the log.

If there is a story about the bridge or the area around it, you will be able to read that below, and I will update it as I learn more.

Feel free to post a selfie of you and the bridge. I hope you enjoy this series!

=============================================

I have discovered a lot of communities have local caching groups that have a lot of fun together, so recently I decided to create a Geocaching Facebook group for Lynchburg and the surrounding counties. I hope that it will be a fruitful endeavor as we build and grow a friendly caching group.

I don’t know where you are from, whether you’re from the area or if you were just passing through, but if you are interested in becoming a member, check the group out at Lynchburg Virginia (VA) Area Geocachers

We would enjoy having you, and feel free to in invite anyone else from the area as members of this group.
