Congrats to The Johnson Family on the FTF!

This cache will highlight the puzzle work of Wei-Hwa, Google's resident puzzle master. Link to his puzzles He has many great puzzles to enjoy. Below is just one type of puzzle.

How to solve the puzzle:
Construct bridges on the open sea so that each island has the specified number of bridges connected to it. Bridges go vertically or horizontally. If an island is numbered, that many bridges (and no more) must connect to it. All empty water spaces must be labeled with a bridge before the puzzle can be considered solved. If you would like to solve it online click the link above and go to "Bridges 2: Puzzle #32"

Note: I have solved this puzzle and I believe there is a unique solution, but I am not 100 percent sure. I have tried to alter my solution to create another one and haven't been successful. If you get a valid solution and the coords don't come out right let me know. I have included a Geochecker, just in case.

We got the geochecked green light for the coordinates. Did not find a container so left one within 50 ft of the GZ in a more protected location.

I had a lot of fun solving this one... I think I got 2 or 3 different answers, but I finally got one to click. I had to extricate this one from where it had become entombed in mud which had then hardened. There are clear signs of the log having been damp and moldy at one time, bit it seemed fairly dry today.
