As is becoming a norm, We received an alert that a new Geocache published nearby. We have a little file on our Google Earth that shows the locations of "all" Benchmarks within Orange County. This was about 750 feet from the new cache and 180 from an existing AND on the walking path to both when we parked at "BOMO" Koral park which just happened to be next to two other waymarks. Funny thing is, the two waymarks were added by a friend of ours who also loves THIS category BENCHMARKS, and they missed it!
