Geocache Description:

A traditional micro hide.

Sometime around 1855, a man was delivering a mule to someone in Meadville, PA. As fate would have it, he and his mule had just reached the bridge over Elk Creek at the same time as a couple of barges were passing underneath. On board one of the barges was a circus. When the loud noises made by the animals aboard the barge reached the ears of Gudgeon the mule, he supposedly stopped dead in his tracks. He literally dropped dead from fright. The owner of the mule was given permission to bury Gudgeon on the west bank of the creek.
The circus owner, Dan Rice, did apparently feel bad enough about the whole matter that he wrote up the tale in a eulogy form. They say at dusk you can hear hoof beats on the bridge. There are a few other stories attached to this bridge but you can look into those on your own if you like, but we feel they are too graphic for us to post here. The Famous covered bridge was burned down in 2008 by vandals. There is enough history and cool scenery very close by like “The Devil’s Backbone” (see picture) for this to be a cool place to visit. Hope you enjoy the area as much as we did! Please don't drop it!
