Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Heritage Trail for

the "Bridges-n-Benches" series! 

This cluster of caches is designed to be quick and simple.  The caches are placed no more than a few steps away from the trail, and should be straightforward to find.  I hope you'll take a few hours or a few days to come back out to a scenic trail and enjoy the sights and sounds, no matter which season of the year you choose.  Oh!  And, maybe find a geocache or two along the way.

You have arrived at Bridge Twenty-Eight.  Please locate two metal plaques on one side of the bridge, and take note of the 4-digit number on them (They're the same on each plaque).  Now, reverse the number ABCD so that it reads DCBA.  Subtract the smaller number from the larger to give you a new number EFGH.  If this number is DIVISIBLE:

by 4, then go to: N42 27.209  W090 58.499

by 9, then go to: N42 27.199 W090 58.491

by BOTH 4 and 9, then go to: N42 27.218 W090 58.479

by NEITHER 4 nor 9, then go to: N42 27.201 W090 58.475

Please remember that this trail is "Pay to Play," but it's only $2 and the money is put right back into trail maintenance and repair.  Kiosks are scattered along the trail at various spots.  The closest to this cache is in the park in Graf.  Still one of your best $ values for a day of hiking or biking!  Remember to replace the caches as you found them.  If it's missing, just log the DNF and I'll get out there to do maintenance.  Drop caches are discouraged.  CITO if you see litter and enjoy your adventure. 

Good luck!
