Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you
with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not
possible or preferable. Also include a bit about your visit to the
marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must
provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored.
(This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your
log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of
the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still
include a bit about your visit to the site.
