FLUKEY Azimuth Mark - Modoc County, CA - Azimuth Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I was able to locate the FLUKEY AZ mark as described in the NGS datasheet PID MW0834. It's in great condition although it should be noted that the dirt road mentioned in the datasheet for FLUKEY is now abandoned and can only be accessed by foot.
