This pole was placed in 1985 and is located on the land in front of the Lamers Bus Line building. The land around the marker is not well maintained and has tall grass and weeds. The marker has a well kept orange witness post within 1 foot and a yellow wooden post with a warning sign nearby as well.

The best way to get to this marker is to park on unmaintained Greenbush Rd (On the South side of Hwy 21 opposite of Angelo Pond) and walk through the tall grass East, following Hwy 21 about 20 feet from the shoulder's edge. Look for either the orange witness post or yellow wooden post as they are about 3 feet from each other.
