Geocache Description:

This is just a simple small jar cache for the upcoming Girls of Summer event to add another stop.

I thought this was a good spot for a small cache as there is an easy U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey Benchmark (DN0721) nearby for the logging also. Most are not this easy to see, like the big orange arrow pointing this out.


Too Easy

If you face south, you can see another Benchmark of a different type for the logging, I'll let you figure it out (it's tall).

A benchmark is a point whose position is known to a high degree of accuracy and is normally marked in some way. The marker is often a metal disk made for this purpose, but it can also be a church spire, a radio tower, a water tower, a mark chiseled into stone, or a metal rod driven into the ground. Over two centuries or so, many other objects of greater or lesser permanence have been used. Benchmarks can be found at various locations all over the United States. Many of these markers are part of the geodetic control network (technically known as the National Spatial Reference System, or NSRS) created and maintained by NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS).

To log, just click on the "...all nearby benchmarks" below and log. Usually a picture of the mark is uploaded to record it is in good shape.
