This benchmark was an easy find; not only was there fluorescent pink paint surrounding the marker, but there was also pink tape just above the marker on the guard rail and on the bridge. The heavy volume of traffic made it challenging enough just getting to the location. The coordinates seem to be slightly off, but the description is adequate. The marker is in good condition; I wish I could've cleaned it off a little better for the photo, but I felt that the traffic was a little too close and I didn't want to spend too much time in this spot. It's neat to think that this marker may have been used relatively recently.
Updated GPS coordinates have been submitted to NGS.
