I recovered this Riverside County benchmark in good condition. It is monumented on top of a round concrete post and amongst some painted white standpipes. The disk is stamped '603-9-68'. The NGS datasheet information is somewhat accurate except that State Hwy 195 is now Pierce Street. My more accurate posted coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
