Bridge To Nowhere Returns Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Oklee: I really hate to archive this cache because it is one of the first caches I published and was based on a cache in this location that I felt was archived too early. The bridge belongs to the city. I thought the land it was on belonged to the city. It was once school property but the school closed many years ago. Currently a local contractor is using it to store old telephone poles and other lumber. It is sometimes a construction zone and no longer very geocacher friendly. If the cache is still there, the access is covered by the lumber. I did not crawl under the bridge to see. I do think the time has come to archive. Oklee

Geocache Description:


There once was a geocache in Medicine Park by Darkmoon and Zahrim called “The Real Bridge to Nowhere”. Numerous geocachers have suggested to me that this great geocache needs to be replaced. I think Darkmoon and Zahrim put it best:

“We discovered this crazy thing in the small town of Medicine Park, a quaint little town that at one time was a getaway for the rich and the infamous, from millionaires to gangsters! We looked at each other and said Yes, we must place the cache for they will come! You will find in a field that is used for neighborhood ball games a bridge, an old steel and iron truss bridge! That is right, it is in the middle of the field with no roads around, no chasm it is spanning, no creek that it crosses, just sitting by itself in this field!

An old bridge engineer and told me that the bridge was a pre-30's pin bridge. They used this method then to stop the steel girders from flexing and bending. We have placed a magnetic microcache here. Please bring your own writing tool to log in the logbook! Good hunting too all and enjoy this bizarre bridge!”
