That group of three contains the first two benchmarks I ever did, and are what actually started us on our Waymarking odyssey. For some strange and inexplicable reason I never did do the third BM at the location, this one. We stumbled across the trio on the south abutment of the bridge, likely while looking for a cache. I didn't even know what they were at first, but B remembered something about benchmarks at Geocaching. From there we discovered Waymarking and the rest, as they say, ... well, you know.
This should be our 321st benchmark. We'd like to someday make it to 1,000 but it gets ever harder to find ones that we or someone else hasn't done already. I guess what we need is a long trip to Alberta And Saskatchewan.
