I found the bridge, but not the FB, like the last visitor said I should have taken a shovel.

In hope, I pressed the vegetation and soil down but not even the top edge of a FB was revealed. Digging is needed. OSBM4 photo ID 787.

90 years of accummulated roadside muck means it might still be there. Take a shovel.
