Take in the beauty of the awesome Arkansas River while seeking this cache (you don't even have to wade to find it). This cache is hidden by the "Rail Road Bridge" just outside of the town of Buena Vista.  Will take you to BEAUTIFUL views year round.  Have lots of fun with this one.  Beware of Muggles!

Built 1919 by the Virginia Bridge & Iron Co.this through truss railroad bridge over the Arkansas River still proudly stands as a symbol of days gone by. There is access to the Arkansas River at this location, appealing to rafters and gold panners. This area also offers some awesome climbing.

You have to take a little hiking path to get to this cache.  Make sure to leave better than you found it-.  Watch for passing rafters and "kakers". Make sure to find the "C" punch for your passport

We started geocaching in June 1 by happenstance, so we decided to try and find at least one cache every day this month. Success with this smiley! We brought a picnic and ate by the roaring Arkansas. TFTC!
