Actually, a bit east of Gato -

IIRC, the bridge to the west of the water tower at Gato was a single span – not multiple spans as seen in the clip – and was not located adjacent to a cliff. The location is probably a couple of miles east of Gato, as shot from the top of said cliff by Ernie Robart on 05/28/68. See the last two photos on [ngdiscussion.net] (and, for an overview of Gato, the last two on [ngdiscussion.net]).
