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. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery. The NGS coordinates are slightly off but my posted coordinates will place you much closer to the station.
