The coordinates on the data sheet bring you to the wrong power pole. Follow the direction to the power pole with a white and an orange witness pole and you will find it. Park at the side of Yard Road as this has little traffic. Do not look for this marker when training is going on. This is on a part of Fort McCoy that is open to the public.
