Because this station was monumented fairly recently, it is not loggable in Geocaching, even though it has a NGS PID. However, the description is thorough. Locating this mark is relatively easy, however, it may be tricky in the warmer seasons because of marsh-like growth around this culvert. It is a bit swampy here, so watch your step. The disk in in the south end of the culvert headwall. Park on the shoulder of the road, as it is sufficiently wide to safely do so. This area tends to be busy, watch out for traffic.
