As far as benchmarking goes, this was a fun one to get. This survey disk also has a twin on the other side of the trestle. So, you get a two for one! We accidentally found these while looking for a geocache. These two benchmarks are also loggable on the geocaching website.

Once you walk up the dirt hill, log 3L1, then walk across the trestle and go visit this survey marker, 3G1.
