I love benchmarks and it always bumms me out when you can't find them on GC.com. So I decided to create a waymark for those I find along the way without a GC.com account. Thanks to runningtree for finding this benchmark and placing a cache near by. Now you can log it in if you like. I just ask you to take a picture of the benchmark or the area of the bridge that the benchmark is located on. Scroll down for link to the NGS data sheet.
