Had been in the area geocaching when I came across this metal bar all covered with dirt. Since I am afflicted with 'squirrel-itis", I had to give it a closer look. As you can see from the picture, this marker really deserves some TLC. It has been bent over. The cap was covered in dirt. After dusting it off, you can see it is in great shape - very readable.

The marker itself is on the west side of Ellsworth/Usery Pass Road between McDowell Rd and McKellips Rd. It is located about 10 feet south of the entrance to Trinity Christian School and close to the adobe fence near the entrance. The road has a wide shoulder to the north of the entry to the school. Watch traffic - it can be very busy in that area.
