This interesting, interactive installation includes permanent coordinates, mosaic and 3D maps. It includes three markers as part of a series, thus I am submitting as one Waymark.

There are three markers as part of a series that highlight Colorado's Front Range watershed. The specific coordinates are as follows:

49km N80W - N40° 10.971, W105° 03.885 4,995' elevation
13km N84W - N40° 10.979, W105° 03.852
4km S34W - N40° 10.983, W105° 03.819

"Landmarks by Joe McGrane, 2005. Landmarks is an interactive piece which can be interpreted on many levels – from the realistic bronze depiction of the landmark to finding the coordinates of the sites and actually seeing the “real thing.” All ages will enjoy the colored mosaics as well as the seating elements as they work their way toward the culmination at the Explorer’s Plaza in the park." (from (visit link) )

"A series of 4 “landmark” stations unify a 400’ walk through Longmont’s Stephen Day Park. Each station contains an abstract tile bench, a bronze miniature, and directional pavers. The stations reference historic way finding features in the region and expand the park beyond its borders." (from (visit link) )
Type of structure: Other

Difference between the post coordinates and your GPSr reading:
I am not sure of the correlation since the N80W meridian is in the eastern US.


Reason for the coordinates: Direction of critical parts of Colorado's Front Range water shed.

Visit Instructions:
Post another photo of the coordinates. If you're unable to do so, please tell us about your experience at the waymark.
