Geocache Description:


Witch's Bridge - A "Thrilling" Cache...

The listed coordinates will bring you to a bridge outside Brandonville, PA.

Recommendations/Requirements for this cache:

Recommended for night (if possible)...
Bring a flashlight, even in the day, it could come in handy...
Good CITO opportunity...
Watch for young folks partying, especially at night under the bridge...



The story of this bridge (from what Mrs. Greenratz and I can recollect) is that a young woman either was hanged or hung herself here and haunts the overpass for all eternity... The coming of the ghost is purported to be hearlded by the squealing of bats.

There are bats to be found here even in the day as Mrs. Greenratz and I noticed while hiding, none of them squealed thankfully... but nevertheless we were happy to get out of the area...

To get the real coordinates, you must find a 3 digit number somewhere on this page, see the clue for details...

The final cache location can be determined by:

For North, we need to add the number you find on the bridge to .424 (not a fraction, just simple addition)

IE: N 40'52.424+ ???

For West, we need to subtract .027 (once again, not the fraction, just the last three - 27) from the number you find on the bridge

IE: W 076'06.??? - .027

Got it? Now... are you ready?????


420

WARNING This cache is SERIOUSLY not for the faint hearted. You have been warned!!!

PLEASE REPLACE EVERYTHING EXACTLY AS YOU FOUND IT. the flashlight may come in handy here...

follow ALL instructions including those you will find at the final location...

This cache was placed on 10/31/2006 (Halloween, but not just any Halloween, actually our daughter Emma's first Halloween!) good timing huh?

As a side note, if any Schuylkill County cachers can add anything to the story, please e-mail us about it.
