Geocache Description:

The Bridges of Pacific County, Shortest Bridge In The County

This bridge is the shortest (60’) among the 16 in Pacific County. Bridge lengths range from this one on up to 296’.

Because railroads were so important in the development of settlements, farms, and industry, they were immortalized in folklore and song. I thought it would be fun to insert song verses at certain Pacific County bridges and have you match them up with a title.

====================

There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real

But time has no beginnings and hist'ry has no bounds
As to this verdant country they came from all around
They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall
And they built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us all

And when the young man's fancy was turnin' to the spring
The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring
Their minds were overflowing with the visions of their day
And many a fortune lost and won and many a debt to pay

====================

The Willapa Hills Trail will eventually stretch 56.2 miles between Chehalis and South Bend, rambling through pastoral valleys to the tidewaters of Willapa Bay. Currently only a few small sections of this rail-trail are paved or graveled. The rest of the trail is available on a "use-at-your-own-risk" basis. Current projections are for work on the trail to begin during or after 2015. Presently, for those that want to push the envelope, 32 bridges may be found along the way. We decided to make these available in order to give you the option to visit each.
