Geocache Description:

While visiting the area, I noted that there were not very many puzzle caches nearby. Hopefully the locals will appreciate this contribution. If not, well, there are many other fish in the sea.

Beware Frozen Bridges
Most of the locals around here already know to be careful on bridges, especially in winter. While the rest of the road may be free from ice, a bridge can be totally and cryptically slick. One minute you may be blissfully riding your bike down a quiet country road, the next you may be crashed to the deck and painfully trying to flag down help with two broken hands. Hey,.. it could happen to any of us right?

Most people around here are well aware of this phenomenon and take these bridges extremely carefully in winter, whether on foot, bike or car. This Puzzle Cache was inspired by such an event, and I want to remind all eager cachers not to rush out (as I often do) even for a tempting FTF. Slow and steady always is safer, especially in winter.

Small lock-N-lock container well hidden from sight. Retrieval takes some skill... not for everyone.
