From Salem you travel south on Sunnyside, then make a right on Hylo. At the top of the hill there is a short driveway to a closed gate on the left (south). Park in front of the gate. The benchmark is roughly 15 feet from the driver's door, and about 10 feet south of the road surface. It is set in a 1 foot round concrete base, just above ground level, and is next to a four foot tall orange plastic marker. The longer shot is looking southeast.
