Geocache Description:

originally placed in 1924 3 Mi from Willits on corner of Hearst/Willits rd and Canyon you will find the company of 3 S USGS A.K.A. KT1280... A Mangled Marker of the Cap and Bolt type. Cache is close by and is protected by yet another metal marker. Always liked this spot and there are actually many other markers in the area, dont forget to log the mark here http://www.geocaching.com/mark/details.aspx?PID=KT1280 -Enjoy the day and boy has Willits changed as far as what caching has to offer here

DESCRIBED BY NATIONAL GEODETIC SURVEY 1965 3 MI E FROM WILLITS. 2.95 MILES EAST ALONG HEARST ROAD FROM THE NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD STATION AT WILLITS, AT THE INTERSECTION OF CYN ROAD, 27 FEET EAST OF THE CENTER LINE OF HEARST ROAD, 39 FEET NORTH OF THE CENTER LINE OF CYN ROAD, 1.2 FEET WEST OF A FENCE, 0.7 FOOT WEST OF A WITNESS POST, AND ON THE TOP OF A 3-INCH IRON PIPE PROJECTING 0.5 FOOT ABOVE THE GROUND, AND ABOUT LEVEL WITH THE ROAD.

Whats a Cap and Bolt type marker?...Well come see for yourself, its a metal pipe pounded into the ground with a survey cap attatched via bolt of course :) Only this ones seen better days FOR SURE...it caught my eye many years ago by the witness post that designates its nearby location. Used to come out to Hearst bridge bout every other day in the summer time as a kid. Cache was placed on leap day 2012 while out on a cycle ride, while it may have set for over a year to "stabilize" it is now up, running and ready to find. Please replace as found and there is little room inside for awesome micro swag :-)   Hope you enjoy and Till Next Time~ CACHE HARD and CACHE ON You can discover the resident coin listed in this cache (which is on the cache) by visiting the coins trackable page and retrieving tracking number there.
