Geocache Description:

In 1998 John Travolta starred in the movie “A Civil Action” which is based on a true story that happened in Woburn, MA. One scene takes place in Palmer, Massachusetts at what we used to call the singing bridge on Kings Bridge Rd. The Bridge is now closed to vehicle traffic, but you may cross on foot. The fate of this structure is unknown but one would hope that it will be restored to it original condition

John Travolta at the Bridge

Jan Schlichtmann, a tenacious young lawyer, is confronted with the litigation of a lifetime in this unbelievable real-life story. Several families in the small town of Woburn, Massachusetts, have suffered the tragic losses of their children to the rare cancer known as leukemia. After having their claim rejected by most law firms in town, these citizens approach Schlichtmann with the possibility that the deaths of their children may have had to do with Woburn's drinking water supply being contaminated by a couple of local businesses. The rub lies in the fact that these businesses are offshoots of two of the most powerful national corporations in the country! Schlichtmann must push his skill and craftiness as a lawyer to the limit in order to oust his opponents, who are working with a limitless bankroll. Based on the great fact-based novel.

The cache container is hidden on the Bridge. If you saw the movie John Travolta was standing on the bridge looking at the Quaboag River. The cache won’t be to far from there!!
