Wednesday....Caching & Lunch

Wednesday brought a cool crisp day and I went caching and Mom went out with Sean for lunch and a movie, which they only got as far as lunch seeing as it started to sleet and rain. I left at 9:00 and did some caches in Flemington, Pittstown, Frenchtown and Lambertville. I found 8 caches and 3 of the 8 were virtual finds. The first 4 caches were in Flemington and were all traditional caches. I then went into PA for 3 virtual caches which included 2 covered bridge caches and another history cache. On my way back I picked up 1 more traditional cache as I drove back to Seans.
"Now Put That Back" was a cache at Green Sergeants Covered Bridge near Sergeantsville, NJ. This is the last covered bridge in NJ and was erected in 1872 on abutments dating back to colonial times. Damaged in 1960 the superstructure of the bridge was completely dismantled and removed to make way for a conventional span. However in 1961 as a result of the efforts of an aroused group of citizens the State of NJ, using the materials of the original covered bridge, fully restored this link with the past. (Pics will follow)
Another of the caches was Covered Bridge Tour of Buck County and encompassed a tour of 3 covered bridges. The first was the Cabin Run covered bridge which spans Cabin Run Creek and was built in 1871 and is 82' long. The second was the Loux covered bridge which also spans Cabin Run Creek and was built in 1874. The third was the Van Sandt covered bridge which spans Pidcock Creek which was built in 1875 and is 86' long. This bridge was recently visited by ghost hunters. Rumor has it that horse thieves were once hung from the rafters of the bridge, and it's thought the bridge may be haunted, perhaps by the souls of those who were executed there. Some claim they have seen strange silhouettes and shadows, and even the sounds of rope sliding over wood, like the sound of a tightening noose. This definately was one of our favorite caches as it was so nice to see these covered bridges.
The other virtual was "For History Buffs" and was located in the middle of nowhere on Clay Ridge Rd a one lane paved road that I would have hated to meet another car on and was near Harrow and Revere, PA. It had to do with an old family cemetery with bronze markers showing that family members had served and died in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. We couldn't get pictures of this site as it was all on Posted land which was a big shame.
We are leaving Seans a day earlier than expected as he has to go to Boston tomorrow so we will be home on Friday. Love to everybody and see you soon.
