I was surprised by the variety of Waymarks in this seemingly out-of-place location in the San Luis Valley. Nonetheless, thirteen different Waymark departments within a 0.1 mile radius brings the tally for this challenge to 26.
Dedicated to
all the brave men and women
who have served in any branch
of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Thank you!
