This is another Twofer cache. You get two for one. When you find
this cache, you will probably find the Indian Benchmark first. This marker was placed 108
years ago as part of the USGS program to provide accurate location
information. See the link below for more details. The terrain
rating is due to a long, moderately steep, grassy hill. Once up in
the woods it's a short hike with a decent path right to the
benchmark. Please take care to ensure the cache can't be
accidentally found by muggles. This is a fairly well traveled area.
Here's a photo of the benchmark.
The following is the description from the original data sheet
for benchmark KX2056:
