Posted a note for GC13WZQ Swing Lower (Historic Site)
This checkin to GC13WZQ Swing Lower (Historic Site) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I suspect that SummersSquad's assertion that this should be archived is incorrect. The area around the old swingbridge has been fenced off for some time (it was when I logged the cache, last year) but this …
