About This Cache

Not only is this attractive and versatile cache Easy To Close and Perfect for Mixing, Storing, Serving and GeoCaching, it's also camouflaged. The cache should be findable in winter but will break if hit with a shovel.

You're better off parking at the Margaret Grant pool and taking a short hike to the cache than parking on the busy road to the south. Snowshoes or skis will make the trek to this cache easier in the winter.

The Alex Bridge Park boasts tennis courts, a baseball diamond and football field. There's a playground by the pool.

Found it 9/22/2006 by Kabuthunk
Y'know, when I first saw the name... I was kinda figuring it would somehow involve a bridge, named after some guy 'Alex'. Well... I kinda figured that was wrong when I started to walk to the cache and saw a sign saying 'Alex Bridge Park'. Now... as amusing as it would be to have a park named after a bridge named after a person... I somehow figured that wasn't the case ToungeOut.
REALLY glad there wasn't any events happening here. Had to walk across both a baseball diamond AND a soccer field to get to this one. Somehow I think the all-black-wearing-trechcoat-guy interrupting two different sporting games might draw just a little bit too much attention for my likings. As the last finder said, it looks like the vegetation covering it was dying. Then again, I realized that this viney-leafy-shrubbery type plant was dead, since it had been torn from... wherever. Luckly, there was some longer, still growing pieces right beside the cache. I kinda untangled a bunch of that and now we've got some more natural looking camo on top of this guy Smile.
Took: Nothing
