HAYSTACK RESET (MX1001) - Haystack Butte, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this mark while on a hike to the top of Haystack. The trail is well documented on several hiking sites, including hikemtshasta.com. The mark is located in a summit cairn and a weathered upright stake. A peak log is also located in the cairn. I did locate reference marks 2 & 3 as well.

THE AZIMUTH MARK (BM Y 12) AND REFERENCE MARK 2 WERE RECOVERED IN
GOOD CONDITION. THE STATION MARK DISK AND REFERENCE MARK 1 DISK
WERE FOUND MISSING BUT THE STEM OF THE STATION MARK DISK WAS
STILL IN PLACE SO IT WAS REMOVED, THE DRILL HOLE WAS DEEPENED,
AND A NEW STATION MARK DISK WAS SET IN THE SAME EXACT POSITION
ON THIS DATE. THE DISTANCE AND DIRECTION FROM THE STATION MARK
TO REFERENCE MARK 2 MEASURED ON THIS DATE AGREED WITH THE 1952
MEASUREMENTS BUT THE DIRECTION TO THE AZIMUTH MARK DIFFERED
FROM THE 1952 MEASUREMENT BY 7.5 SECONDS. REFERENCE MARK 3 WAS
SET ON THIS DATE. THE 1952 DESCRIPTION IS ADEQUATE WITH THE
FOLLOWING ADDITIONS--
