Azimuth Condition: Perfect

Your Directions:
The easiest starting point is from the intersection of MO-370 and Earth City Expressway. Go North of MO-370 bending with the road to the east. The road name changes to Aubuchon Road North of MO-370. Go towards the GPS coordinates, stopping at the entrance of Schroder Sod Farm off of Aubuchon Road. The marker is located only a few feet away from the road. Follow the specific directions from the Long Description to find the marker. NOTE: This area is prone to flooding and when I found it, it was located beneath at least 6 inches of mud. There was an obvious indentation where the Azimuth marker was and I was able to find it without much problem. Noting the flooding problem, it may be easier to find this one with a metal detector in the future.
