This cache challenge requires you visit all the covered bridges in New Hampshire.
The Rules:
(1) To log this cache, you will need to log a cache with posted coordinates within 0.5 miles of each of the 54 covered bridges in the state of New Hampshire. Prior finds and archived caches are acceptable. Non-members need only find non-member caches.
If you find that you have no qualifying caches within 0.5 miles of a bridge, you have two options:
(a) Place a cache within 0.5 miles of the bridge (prefered).
(b) Take a picture of yourself with your GPS at the bridge. A photo of the bridge with your GPS in the photo at arms length is acceptable. Photos taken before caches are placed near a bridge count toward the completion of this challenge.
(2) The cache is located at the posted coordinates. You may sign into the cache log at any time. However, to log the cache, you must meet the requirements of rule (1).
(3) The cache owner reserves the right to delete the log of anyone determined to not meet the requirements of rule (1).
After completing this quest, log the cache and send me a list of the bridges visited, the date of the visit, and the waypoint of the cache found (or your qualifying picture). I'll check the list and apply rule (3) if necessary.
The following is a list of the required bridges, what town they are located in, and their approximate coordinates. Bridges with an existing cache within 0.5 miles have the waypoint of the closest cache appended to the end of the listing. You are not required to find this exact cache unless it is the only cache within 0.5 miles of the bridge. As new caches are posted to meet the requirements of rule (1), I will update this list.
