I recovered the National Geodetic Survey metal rod in good condition. There is an orange carsonite witness post near the access cover that makes recovery of this station much easier. This station is located just past a dirt road leading SW. The NGS datasheet description is very adequate for station recovery. The NGS coordinates listed are slightly off but my posted coordinates will place you very close to this station.
