Cache is located on the historic Elm Park Bridge. An all-season cache.

Container is very small. Coins or very small trade items only.

No Climbing is involved! Keep your feet on the deck of the bridge.

Be discreet. Muggles abound. Enjoy an ice cream yourself from the BDI (Bridge Drive-In).

Elm Park Bridge was built in 1912. Until 1965 it was a two-lane two-way vehicular bridge. Do you remember (or can you imagine) two large cars from the 60's passing each other on this extremely narrow bridge. The deck of the bridge is only 15 feet wide. It is now a pedestrian bridge.

Contents: Log sheet, FTF certificate, and a few coins. Pencils have been added.

This is our 9th cache. Enjoy the Hunt!

Found it 8/17/2006 by Kabuthunk
Kinda surprised I found this one. Once again, still working without a GPS system yet, so I could only tell it was kinda on the south end of the bridge. Then again, I searched every nook and cranny I could find, and eventually found it by absolute blind luck (basically just swatted my hand somewhere that made me think 'eh, maybe...', and there ya go... I felt a lump there :P). Nice hide. Of the various times I've gone down that bridge, I can safely say I never expected something hidden on it. Signed the logbook anyway :}
Took: Loonie (yay! Laundry money!)
Left: Chainmail ball (see profile)
