A Bridge (or Three) Not Too Far Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

A short hike along the South Branch of the Raritan River.

This spot is on the outskirts of Three Bridges, N.J., a railroad town founded in the 1860s. At that time, two steel bridges crossed the Raritan and a covered bridge crossed a nearby stream — hence the name. (The covered bridge no longer exists.)

Parking is along Rt. 613 at the coordinates given below. Please do not park on Hillsborough Road or cut down the hill, part of which is private property.

This part of the river is a popular fishing spot, so the main challenge of this cache is muggle avoidance. Hiking shoes or other grungy footwear is also advisable, as after a good rain, the area can be muddy.

Cache is a small square rubbermaid box. It holds small trade items and a small logbook with pencil. Please replace the lid tightly.

This should be a quick and easy find and is a good one for families with young children. Enjoy your hunt in Hunterdon.
