Found this one on 9/12/09 around 2:25 pm with my brother (frexnj) while he was visiting for the weekend. This was his second find using USGS datasheets. The key to finding this one was the use on "natives" who were able to tell us where the described "Blue Star Cafe" was located.

Description still adequate - in part reading: "Marmet, .025 mi SE of post office at; center of triangle formed by junction US 119 and Highway 61." It is also approximately 1 foot from landscaping planter area, and 6 feet from current power pole.
