We had to get a cache to keep our "at least one cache per day for a year" streak going ( Woot! 124 and counting, now officially one third of the way done- still a looooong way to go though... ). We are trying to leave as many nearby hides alone as we can for when winter weather hits. We are going out to western MD today to get half of the Jasmer squares that we have left to find to complete the challenge. We are also getting all the county and Delorme squares in this part of the state. We started off the trip with a FTF close to home- Woohoo. We then drove over from Frederick on a cold, windy day. Stopped at Top O' PA for a Jasmer, and then drove found this benchmark. Always a bonus to find a benchmark near a cache.

This station and it's RMs are in excellent condition, certainly much better than the nearby mark at the summit. All three marks were easily located by using the 'box score' info and pacing off the distances with the aid of a compass.

Greetings Geocachers/Benchmarkers,
We found this benchmark disk with no difficulty as described and pictured by others. It’s exactly where it’s supposed to be, at Mt. Davis. Recovered RM1 and RM2 as well. My appreciation to friends for assistance in recovering these benchmarks. Coordinates and directions and data are adequate for recovery.
Happy Benchmarking,

I noticed the one near the observation point and I snapped a picture of it. Looks like there are acutally 3 benchmarks here. We just found the one. We were up there looking for the Top O' PA Cache. It really is a great place to visit.

The benchmark is still in tact, however it is damaged. It looks like people have
been beating on it to try and take it out! If your not familiar with the area, it's
worth the search to see the view from the tower!
