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 station is located on a hillside, about 8-10 feet above the road. The NGS datasheet description is very adequate for station recovery. The NGS coordinates also very close to this station.
