IronHorseReviewer: Greetings from Geocaching.com

It looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While
we feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block
other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable
amount of time, we can't do so forever. Therefore we are archiving this
cache so that someone else can place a cache in the area and geocachers
can once again enjoy visiting this location. If you haven't done so
already, please pick up any remaining cache pieces as soon as possible.

If you are in the process of replacing or repairing your cache please
e-mail me in response to this archival, and I will assist you in getting
your cache re-listed if possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to
geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing your caches up and
running in the future.

  • The swinging bridge spans the Big Sandy River.The bridge was built from a high performance composite material - glass fiber that is reinforced with plastic resins.The entire superstructure, including the deck and the beams, is made out of composites.This material is composed of thousands of fibers which pass through a resin bath, then through a dye, and finally through a heating element. The fiberglass material is formed into the shapes needed for the construction project. It is a very lightweight material and easy to handle.
