This station, a U.S. Department of Interior / National Park Service standard disk, located on Assateague Island, MD.

It is located near the east side of a paved bicycle trail that runs parallel to the east side of Stephen Decatur Memorial Road (aka Berry Ferry Dr), the roadway that leads to Assateague Island National Park:

The station approximately 0.5-mi. south from the junction of MD SR 611, 30-ft southeast from the center of the roadway, 6-ft southeast from a split rail wooden fence, and 20-ft southwest from a large metal utility cabinet on a raised wooden platform.

The disk is mounted on the top of a steel rod driven to refusal, and is surrounded by a 4-inch diameter white ABS sleeve. The disk is flush with the ground surface. A Carsonite witness post is positioned approximately 1-ft southeast from the mark, and is clearly visible from the roadway.

Beware of deer ticks.

This station is not bluebooked with the NGS, and is not loggable at the Geocaching benchmark site at this time. In addition, there is no information relating to this station that is currently available. When it is available, it will be added here.
