A five stop virtual in the Hocking Hills

This is a virtual cache that covers a wonderful 6 mile hike from Old Man's Cave to Ash Cave. A few of the stops can be obtained quickly from the parking lots, but two of the stops are far from any parking lot. It doesn't matter which direction you hike the trail, you could even start in the middle if you want by stop 3.
Stop 1: At N39 26.035' W082 32.477' IN the gorge there is a very unique bridge. It is designed to withstand the next 100 year flood. How many seperate concrete sections were used to complete this bridge? This is NOT the big A-shaped bridge that spans the whole Upper Falls gorge.
Stop 2: At N39 25.236' W082 32.095 there is a natural beauty. What is it called , and how high is this wondeful sight?
Stop 3: At N39 25.120' W082 31.501' is one of the Hocking Hills Region's most famous natural wonders. What is is it called and how high is it?
Stop 4: At N39 24.264' W082 32.374' there is a different kind of stream crossing than most of the others you will see on this hike. Describe it to us. This is not the most scenic stop, but we thought it was cool.
Stop 5: At N39 23.914' W082 32.707 there is a sign that describes the final destination. What are the dimensions across and high of this beautiful landmark?

Hopefully people will enjoy this cache. We will be interested to get feedback on this one. There are two reasons we are placing this one and making it a virtual. #1 We absolutely LOVE hiking in the Hocking Hills. #2 We made it a virtual because many of the caches down there got messed up. One day each year on the third Saturday of January there is a BIG winter hike. Here is the link.
