Don't drop it Traditional Cache

I'm a sucker for old steel bridges - you know, the type you drive through. I found this one on a side trip on a recent trip down I-15, and I figured it was deserving of a cache - just to bring people to the area.
The bridge is labeled as a one lane bridge, but two cars could pass on it. There is plenty of room for pedestrians and a vehicle - and the cache is easily reachable from the road deck - no need to go under the bridge. Park along the shoulder of the road near the bridge and act like tourists enjoying the old bridge on the off chance that any muggles show up.
The cache is currently a hide-a-key under the top rail along the east side of the bridge (just below chest level, depending on your height). Please pay attention to how the hide-a-key is placed and put it back in the same place and direction. There is writing on the cache container to help orient it correctly. There is a pencil in the container, but because it is a hide-a-key the log might be damp (I'll be replacing it with rite in the rain paper sometime soon), so you might want to bring a pen or similar.
This particular bridge is on what used to be US 91 - which was the road to Montana. If you're headed southbound and can spare some time, you can take this road all of the way to Spencer, and pick up a couple more caches along the way. I highly recommend doing this at least once. It's a slower paced drive but is a lot more scenic than the freeway. In addition, it gives you a real appreciation for the travelers which drove this route before the Interstate system was put into place. The day I drove this route, I don't recall seeing any cars on this road other than myself, so it's definitely the road less traveled.
If you're into benchmarks, there is an unlisted one at the far end of the bridge at 44 32.954, 112 17.794. I'm working on identifying it, but no luck so far.
Good luck!
