To find this secret you have to enjoy hunting. But not the kind of hunting that uses guns or other weapons. The only weapons you need for this hunt are patience and your phone.
People who try to discover this bridge's secret will look a bit odd while they are trying to figure it out. They may walk slowly one way, then turn and walk the other. They may cross the street and wander seemingly without reason along the the other side. People who recognize you and wave to you as they go into the feed store will tell you as they come out, "you don't seem to be making much progress on your walk."
"It's not a walk," you tell them as you smile at each other knowing the next time you see them they are going to ask you what you were doing.
Back and forth you walk across the bridge, your had slowly tracing across both the top and bottom railing while you check every nook and cranny. Before now you never realized how many there were on this bridge.
You check under the bridge. Maybe the secret is there. But no! Oh dear! Is someone living under there? Now you are kind of sorry you looked because that is something you didn't want to know. Plus there's more garbage down there than you care to admit.
But still you look. In the tree branches that hang near the railing? Is the the secret there? You really can't believe it's even possible the secret would be in the branches. There are so many of them, it would be downright cruel to hide a secret there.
Looking at your phone, you try to decipher the hints. Some of them mock you by telling you how easy it is to find the secret. How could they be so mean?
Finally, the most tenacious one in your group finds the secret and it is so very small and rather cleverly hidden. It turns out it's pretty much right where the hints said it would be. And many others have found it before us.
How do we know? Because when you find the secret, it tells you so.
