Geocache Description:



The cache is located near the Red Ball Road that was primarly used to go from Nora Springs to Rockford. The bridge over the Shell Rock River is closed to vehicles but not foot traffic. You can park your car at N 43°8.33', W 93°0.37' and walk .15 mile to the cache. There is another enterance at N 43°8.13' W 93°0.55' you can drive down to the cache. It's a low maintance road so you might not get through if it's snowed or rained but very convienent if it's cold. There is train bridge listed on the National Historic Places you will drive underneath. Worth looking for.
