Even though it was a dark, rainy night, I was determined to locate this benchmark while in Newark for dinner. Dad dropped me off in front of the Arts Center and drove around the block while I ran down the sidewalk in search of the mark. Even in near darkness I found it easily; the description was accurate and a bright pink and white triangle had been painted around the disk. It's in excellent condition with all stamping legible.
A report on the condition of this survey mark has been submitted to NGS.
hello,
i haven’t geo cached or looked for geodetic survey markers, etc. in a few years.
my colleague goes out in the early spring and takes some positions on various geodetic survey markers such as you have shown here.
we check our gps unit and see if the monuments are still there.
these are mostly in and around Brick Twp, NJ.
this is the best time – before the foliage comes out, and after the snow.
if you ever find 15M2 (KV6779) let me know
regards, Lou
