I recovered this National Geodetic Survey reference mark in good condition. It lies just north of Hwy 31 in front of a metal fence line and is part of the MOSS series of benchmarks directly across the road.
The Geocaching.com's datasheet info is out of date and I've provided a web link to the current datasheet info below. The current datasheet info is adequate for disk recovery. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this reference mark.
