I love benchmarks and it always bumms me out when you can't find them on GC.com. So I decided to create a waymark for those I find along the way without a GC.com account. Thanks to 440D100 for placing a cache near by. We spotted this benchmark on the way to his cache. Now you can log it in if you like. I just ask you to take a picture of the benchmark or the area of the bridge that the benchmark is located on. Scroll down for link to the NGS data sheet.
