Cookie & Bruiser: It is with a sad heart that we are archiving this cache after over 19 years and over 2500 finds. This cache and we have been on the disabled list. I am recovering from a painful broken arm (at the shoulder) along with a major cough virus (not Covid) for both of us, while grieving the loss of a dear friend and neighbor and helping the family.
The delay in archiving was partly because we had hoped the reconstruction of the bridge would also include the railings on the sides of the original bridge. We felt the railings were a safety feature for this popular spot and helped facilitate the search for this cache on the steep hill access to it.
Upon checking the site in person, we discovered that some of the topography of the cache site had also been altered and was no longer suitable for the type of cache that we had here and would have wanted to continue (a medium to large tin with an international related design filled with internationally-themed swag.
Thanks to everyone who visited the cache over the years.
