Some locations are more scenic than others. Some are less. This falls into the "less" category, although if you walk to the middle of the bridge, it may fall into the "more" category for you.
Your feet do not need to leave the sidewalk to make the find.
This might fall into the "no parking" category of hides. While there is parking to the East and West, it is permit parking. Enforcement is lessened during the weekend- check the signs before you leave your vehicle
Congrats Geoconsumer, FTF.
