• On Lunar Orbiter IV frame 102 h3 it (Bridge crater) is noticeable just "above" (north of) Mons Hadley Delta with St. George crater on its slope, and a little bit to the west of the most eastern bend in Rima Hadley (Bridge is located in the east-west shadowless part of Rima Hadley).- DannyCaes May 10, 2014

• Was Bridge crater observed and photographed by Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin while they explored the bend of Rima Hadley? (note that there were no shadows at Bridge and that section of Rima Hadley (at that moment), because the sun was shining from the east, while Bridge crater was due west).- DannyCaes May 10, 2014
• With a bit-o-luck one might detect something of Bridge crater in Apollo 15's west looking down-sun frame AS15-85-11415, made from Station 1 near Elbow crater (near the eastern bend of Rima Hadley). Note Bennett Hill in the distance.- DannyCaes May 10, 2014
