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

flashlight may come in handy here...
follow ALL instructions including those you will find at
the final location...
