I recovered this California Department of Transportation metal rod from 1996 in good condition. Although it's listed as being in Siskiyou County, CA, it is in fact located in Klamath County and north of the Oregon/California border. This metal cap on rod is located under a hinged cover and easily identifiable with a nearby orange carsonite witness post. This cap does not exist on Geocaching.com.
