NGS Markers & GPS Accuracy Check Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

GOT GPS?: This Cache is going to the Geocache graveyard.
The cache container is missing, and the the area of the woods, in the Bell Creek park, are a total disaster area, including alot of garbage.

I wished I could have kept up better with this cache, but I still have the original Bell Creek Park Cache Stash.

I may compile all the GPS data from this cache, and put a link in the Bell Creek Park Cache Stash.

Thanks for visiting this cache over the many months that the cache was out.

Geocache Description:

Hunting for Survey markers, and little bit of driving.
National Geodetic Survey Markers are all over the U.S.

1st Cache:
This one is a 6 inch diameter brass cap set in concrete, with spray painted letters around it. The Marker is at an Elevation of 637 ft above sea Level. Please indicate in your log of this cache, the GPS you are using, and how close your GPS reads, when standing over the marker. My Garmin GPS V was within 6 feet of the marker, including the elevation. I found that my Magellan GPS 315 was about 16 feet off, with a bearing of 128 deg.

Fill in for the first cache:
