Whenever I cross a memorial bridge or highway, I look at the sign and the amateur historian in me always wonders, "Who was that guy - and what did he do to deserve a bridge??"
Well having lived in Richmond County over the past sixteen years, I happen to actually KNOW who those guys were and so I have decided to place a series of three caches - small caches with log and swag at three memorial bridges to answer the question - "Who was that guy?" for all who may wander. As these are bridge caches,
1) be mindful of traffic and muggles as they will abound!!!
2) be aware that the caches are near or on the bridge. There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to go anywhere near the railroad tracks that these bridges cross!!!
