I have been driving over the bridge nearly every day, but could not see a place to get out and side to overlook the river below. Plus which too many cars. But, Saturday, I just stopped and walked all around the area. In fact there was no place to set up the easel etc., etc., gave up.
Returning to the highway, turning right to go elsewhere, I noticed that the next driveway to my right lead back to the river. Also it seems that he building ( a cave cooperative) was burned out and deserted.
So drove back to the rear of the property. (no signs posted and lots of trash dumped near the rear) So, just drove quite nearly into the little river. Parked the 1989 Renault "106" nearly tipping its nose in the river and got out all of the stuff.
Please note that all of the "professional equipment" is items found eith in or near the trash and in the old garage shed. Old corrugated boxes and 1 x 1" sticks held together with wire, a couple of screws and a bit of hot melt. The little plastic bucket holds rocks from the local scene and a bit of my drinking water. All of the toolss fit into the old backpack except the chair,the "easel" sticks and the flat box that I found that was used for shipping a toilet seat...could just as well be a medium large pizza box ... just the right size.
Please also note (look a photo carefully) that I did not notice the rear support brace on the folding chair was not attached until it was too late. Not to be thwarted, though, I knocked it back together with a good-sized rock, and kept painting.
