Solved this one a while back and looked for it with no luck. Emailed the owner and he went and replaced it! So now my dad is in town, wanting to do some puzzles, and we came by to see this one. Sure enough it is there now! Big thanks to the CO for replacing it! TFTC!

Checked on this cache today. It has definitely grown up around GZ. In fact it had grown over the cache! I replaced the cache with a larger container and new log.

Happy Caching!

Found this cache with Rocket and sannnROX on our way to my house. As with all our caches this was an adventure. sannnROX parks and Rocket follows her. I decide to remain in the car with her brothers and continue chowing our snacks. Then I realize that the car is still moving, so I yell out the window, San the car is efing moving. Rocket out of nowhere jumps in and saves the day. Then San looks back at us and goes “what are you guys still doing there.”
Rocket is our hero for saving our lives. We not need to practice stealth, but geocaching safety. The cache in not on the bridge, just look at the title for a hint.

Again, a nice little place that I would have never knew existed had it not been for caching! I had decoded this puzzle a couple of weeks ago, but for one have not had time to come grab it and for two when I pulled up the coords on Google Earth it took me to a place that I wasn't even sure a bridge existed!

We were on our way home from visiting my sister for the New Year. I'm with iJosh, rocket, my two little brothers and I decided to pull the coords up and see what we can see. Sure enough we follow where Carmen (our GPS) is pointing and wouldn't ya know it? There's a BRIDGE! I slow to a crawl and excitedly yell that I'm 15ft from it from where I am RIGHT NOW! Josh cracks a joke from the back seat that I should just stick my hand out and grab it, they'll all stay in the car (it started to drizzle). Rocket's going to join me and I jump out and am immediately over to withing 6feet of the GZ. I'm wondering why rocket isn't with me by now and I turn back to the car. I'm a little lost as I see rocket in the driver's seat....I go back to the car and EVERYONE is yelling at me!

I was so excited to exit the vehicle that I DIDN'T PUT IT IN PARK!! Rocket was about to get out when the car was rolling back that he jumped over and with one leg on his passenger's seat and the other on the e-brake, was able to bring the car to a halt! He saved the lives of the three in the back seat! It was too funny because I was too busy trying to get the cache that I didn't even hear them YELLING!

That was super funny that I actually got back in the car and pulled into a safer area in the nearby grass. And put it in PARK, and this time EVERYONE got down. *traumatized*

I show Josh and my brother Chris where I was within 2 ft of the cache and they pull it out lickety split! Every other cache we hit that night, they all joked that I needed to let go of practicing STEALTH and start practicing SAFETY. whoopsie!! Red Face

My brother was amazed at some of the swag in there, so we took a keychain compass and left a beaded necklace.
Again another fun adventure had in the life of a Duck Hunter!

TFTC!!

We found this cache a few weeks ago, and forgot to log it. We found it with a little trouble but we found it by following the story. This cache is cool and don't forget to keep caching.

Ok, I had some help finding out about this cache from Blygoat. Just doing some caching in the area and although I read about this one when it first came out, I never had the chance to find it...until today!

Jimp59 and I searched a couple of bridges on Saturday looking the Old Bridge. It is now much easier to find the bridge now. The bridge is still camoflaged so do not miss it. TN L Warrior TB. TFTC.

Okay, so I have trouble counting words in sentences! Got to the general location of the cache and found the old bridge. However, the coordinates I had put me somewhere between the bridge and the house (closer to the house). I looked around and then went back to the bridge. Was ready to head down to the stream and thought I'd better use my phone a friend option. Called Jimp59 and he helped me correct my mistake and soon I had the cache in hand. After returning to my office, I found that I had made a mistake on the 12th word of the 8th sentence. Don't know why I chose the 8th word of the 8th sentence. Gotta be more careful on these!

This was a very interesting puzzle cache and I enjoyed working it out. Jebest and I actually tried to figure it out after completing part of the ridgewalk series but, could not come up with the correct coordinates. The coordinates we got put us real close to 'Sign of Affection'. So we went to the nearest bridge (Yellow) and searched everywhere. Of course we came up empty. We decided to try this another time. Today was it. I re-worked the puzzle at home at got the correct coordinates this time. Mrs jimp59 and I took my cousin UNGKULU68 (newbie) with us and we found the Old Bridge. I let her look for the cache and in about 10 minutes she had the cache in her hand. She was so excited hoping to be the FTF. When she opened the cache and saw the new log.....she grabbed the umpires whistle and started blowing it like crazy. Lucky there was no one around. She eventaully stopped and then I reminded her about being discrete. It was really funny. We had a great time and I don't think that Ungkulu68 will ever forget her first FTF. Thanks. JIMP59 (GUAM)

Oops... if you read my initial log on this FTF, I messed up... I had such an adventure yesterday finding caches that I mixed up my FTF with another find. Sorry about that.

BUT, I am not a geocache FTF virgin anymore! Because I officially found a cache and what an experience! Thanks to some geocache training advice from my cousin (jimp59) I found this FTF cache!

I searched around the vines of fruit by this old bridge and I was able to let go of all my fears of bugs and spiders because the excitement of being the "first to find" cache was an adrenaline rush that out-powered my natural fear of bugs. Unfortunately, all the geo-caching do's & don'ts that my cousin taught me went out the window when I found this cache and found a coaches whistle in it so I blew the whistle so loud because of pure excitement (a major NO NO in geo-caching). Thankfully, I got better throughout the day as I worked on being descrete with the rest of my new finds.

I cannot wait to find more cache!

Thanks Cuz for the experience! I will for sure introduce this to my Orange County, CA friends.

Ungkulu68.

P.S. I loved reading the childhood memory about this old bridge. It gave me a good vibe at this this old bridge.

Hi Folks - I "fat-fingered" the number for "B"

It should read: 4th word 10th sentence minus 4th word 12th sentence =B

This should get you to the cache.
- Thanks Seng
