The above is from the state web site. I drove by this site in January 2007 and took a few pictures. At the time, I didn't realize this was a Waymarking category. This marker indicates 1 Mile to the site. I drove down Messick Rd and could find no other markers or determine where the site itself was. I have been provided coordinates for the actual shed site by one of the visitors N 39 03.082 W 121 36.944 - thanks Johnny Quest.
