Found in between the railroad tracks and Hazelwood Avenue, this benchmark is still very nicely preserved, though a bit muddy.

The coordinates from geocaching.com were slightly off as they put me in a farm field. I was able to look around and find a broken white fiberglass witness post. Once I found the post I saw a little metal sitting in the mud and was able to wipe it off. Since Hazelwood is such a slow road it's very easy to park on the side of the road and walk the rest of the distance. Very secluded area and look for the witness post with some of the top chipped off.
