Placed in 1993, this disk is on the South side of County Highway BB just west of the intersection with County Highway I. The disk only had two of its original three orange witness posts remaining and also has some damage on the upper right which has muffed some of the writing. Otherwise the disk is in nice condition. It's recommended to park on County Highway BB to view this disk as it is a very seldom used road. Still watch out for cars.
