The Lovers' Bridge Cache Traditional Cache
Speedy38: The neighbors are not keen on having people over here. Time to put this one to rest. I ask that no one replaces a geocache here for respect to the neighborhood and property. Hopefully the reviewer sees this and doesn't approve a drive by pill container, I can guarantee the property owner will not like more people walking in this area. Lovers bridge had a good run! Thanks for finding it!

Parking is quite tricky in this area , very narrow roads. These
coordinates are good for a single car: N 41 39.566/ W070 50.194.
Easy walk , but may be a tricky find. There is some tree cover at
times , but you should be able to find it with no problems. I got
within 20 feet accuracy.
History of the location: The Mattapoisett River flows along, in the
inconsequent way of rivers, from Snippituit to the sea. It is
beautiful when seen from the highway, but still more beautiful in
the dark places where the trees and tangled vines interlace
overhead. It was the Indians' course to the seashore. On their
return from the shore , they made the first clambakes, naming the
spot the "place of rest," and thus giving a name for the river and
the town. Where the river begins to widen out is the romantic spot
known as "Lovers' Bridge," a rustic log foot-way has long existed
across the stream and according to the legend it was the trysting
place for an Indian maiden and her lover form the North who came
down the river in his canoe to meet her. (above wording and picture
taken from the book "Mattapoisett and Old Rochester by leonard and
others, 1950) Today , the bridge is not standing but you can still
see where it used to be. A great spot to view the Mattapoisett
River. The cache: Located on town land and a beautiful walk along
the river. Camo metal army container , please seal well and, please
hide as found. Take a look at the picture of the original bridge
before you go! I hope you enjoyed my brief history and good luck on
the find! *** Don't forget*** Trash Out is a primary objective of a
worldwide activety known as Geocaching. It means collecting and
removing extraneous litter while geocaching. Neat way to fold a
plastic shopping bag into a compact form: Lay the bag out on a flat
surface. Press it to remove as much air as possible Fold in half so
that the handle loops are together Fold it in half lenthwise again
pressing it flat to remove the air Repeat lenthwise folding until
it is 1-2 inches wide. Starting from the bottom of the bag loop it
around two fingers and roll it up Twist the handle loops a couple
of times then place them over the bag. The handle loops should now
keep the bag from unrolling Press the bundle flat and you should
have a thin package about 2 inches square. Cache In Trash Out About
six of these can be placed inside of a ziplock bag for fellow
Geocachers to take with them to fill up with garbage as they depart
the Cache site.
