Welcome to the Locate a Lonely Benchmark Challenge!

Cache is at posted coordinates but you must meet the requirements of this challenge in order to log a find.

The Rules:

To complete this challenge you must meet the following condition:

1. Locate and log a benchmark that has not been found/logged by a geocacher in the past 2 years.
   
   Your qualifiers (in this case, your benchmarks) need to be loggable (and logged) on geocaching.com for them to count. Only Found benchmarks count (not destroyed, looked for it, think it's there, etc.).
   
   You need to personally find it and log it here. No arm-chair benchmarking. No “told my friend where it is and they found it for me” benchmarking. You need to discover it, be there, see it, log it!
   
   Thank you & Happy Benchmarking! Happy Caching! Happy Trails!
   

Logging Requirements:

When you log your benchmark, please list the following:

1. Permanent Identifier (PID) (listed in the format AB1234 (two letters and four numerals))
2. Designation (the name, called a designation, has no set format. It could be JONES or E 37 RESET or WASHINGTON MONUMENT 1913 or simply X 429)
3. The benchmark TYPE (either from the Benchmark Details page or from the Searching Benchmarks page)
4. The Date you found the benchmark

   • Please contact MacFive with any questions.
   • Note: The attributes reflect the cache location, not the various benchmark locations. Dangerous area refers to crossing the street - be careful!
   • Note: The D/T reflects the various distances you may walk/hike/climb and the research you may find yourself doing in order to locate this benchmark. Some are easier to find than others. Please stay safe and legal and honor "no trespassing" and "private property" signs and other laws.

   From http://www.geocaching.com/mark/default.aspx

   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 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. They are used by land surveyors, builders and engineers, map makers, and other professionals who need an accurate answer to the question, "Where?"

   Although this is not required, Good benchmark hunters will post the following items in their benchmark logs.
   1. Coordinates on your GPS, phone, or other device.
   2. Elevation reading.
   3. Close-up photo of the disk, rod, or other benchmark type.
   4. A second photo from a few feet away showing the mark and the general surroundings/location.
