Many trains have crossed this viaduct and hauled thousand upon thousand of tonnage through this area. During the early years this was the quick way of travel folks would take, the RI Rockets to get places fast.
Hope you enjoy some history from this specific and artistic area.

DTCBEARS originally had a hide in 2012 around here because QUOTE... 
"The cache was so named after a nearby 'artistic landmark' " He drove "by this location everyday when heading to work and glance at the printed directive, which always makes me smile. I hope the same will hold true for you too!".....
PLEASE park at that designated area. ******Watch for MUGGLES!*******
This cache is still a log only, so bring a scribbler!

A approx. 5yr. KeyStone for this area. After archiving the original cache in 2017.
Well Rock Island is a great historical town to live in and work in.
And I hope you enjoyed some history here,
and find some more historic or new caches along the way.
