I found this bench mark while on a docent led Mountain Bike Ride in the Weir Canyon Wilderness Area. Access to this area is only on docent led hike, runs, walks and mountain bike rides on this property.
This property is managed by the Irvine Ranch Conservancy.
Here is the link to the area where you may find the link to sign up for docent led events.
