River View Cache Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Heartland Cacher: Greetings from Geocaching.com I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for new caches submitted to Geocaching.com.

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses from the Cache Owner about maintaining this cache which makes it appear the Cache Owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache. Cache maintenance includes listing maintenance including updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing. The cache will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. Should the owner decide to maintain the cache in the near future (30 days), just contact me (by email including the GCXXX and Cache Name), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

Thanks for your understanding,
Heartland Cacher

Geocache Description:

A hike along a well used path brings you to this cache with a scenic view of the Des Moines river on the south and the Hindu Temple to the North.
Take the path through the woods for the scenic route or cut through the field & then join up with the path.

The St. Louis, Des Moines & Northern Railroad company was incorporated in May, 1881 and the line from Des Moines to Boone was completed in 1882. It was a narrow-gauge track for a decade and a half, bridging the river almost straight south of Madrid and about one-quarter mile west of the present Highway 17 bridge. It was the first high bridge to be built in this area, a wooden structure one-half mile long and over 100 feet above the river. All of the pilings and 10 x 12 timbers used to build the bridge were hauled by horse-drawn wagons from the new town of Woodward. This area later developed a coal camp known as "High Bridge", and the area was also a famous resort for picnic parties and clam bakes. If the water level is low, you can still see remnants of the bridge pillars.
