Bridge to Nowhere? Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

geocite: Well I tried twice to replace this cache. First before the rain storm with the same type of container as before but found it was too big for the new structure. When I went back after the rain with a different type of container, I didn't really like the way it fit. Plus there was always a constant stream of cars going by. Traffic sure has increased in this area ever since they connected the road with Victoria St. That combined with the transient looking for junk under the bridge made me decide to archive this one. Sorry folks. Time for a new hide at a different location I guess!

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

A quick drive-by multi with one short computed redirect. Posted coordinates are for parking.

Each time we drive north on River Road to Victoria Street, we see this bridge that appears to go nowhere. Recently, we stopped and checked it out: yes indeed, another fine bridge from a well-known local manufacturer. This looks like a nice spot for a quick micro cache with a modest FTF prize!

As usual, bring your own writing instrument!

Here are the steps to finding the final:

  1. Climb the steps of the bridge.
  2. Count the number of wooden planks on the bridge span (call this A)
  3. Multiply A by 6, and divide by 10,000. Add this offset to both the N and W posted coordinates -- this is the actual location of the micro.

Please note that the bridge provides safe passage over a very busy rail line -- good for trainspotters. It's common sense, but note that you DO NOT have to approach the tracks. If your computed coordinates take you there, check your math again!!
