Another Benchmark

This benchmark was in the park where we went looking for a geocache. I couldn't find it listed in the database, so I don't know if it's been moved or what the exact story on it is.

Three Local Benchmarks

We struck out looking for a couple of benchmarks, but I think they have been destroyed. So we decided to find some that others had recently found, since they are likely to still be there. Found three in fairly quick succession, though our GPS was doing really goofy things.


This picture of the second benchmark also shows a Geocoin Benchmark Racer next to it that hubby found and was moving along for the owner. When we were taking a picture of this, a man leaving the movie theatre asked what we were looking for. When we told him he looked like he thought we were nuts...I supposed we are a bit!



The kids loved the Lewis and Clark trail at this park. Each stepping stone has a different notation from either Lewis or Clark's diary.

First Benchmark

Though we didn't really know what we were looking for, it appears we found the benchmark after all. It's the flagstaff on top of the school cupola. A couple of women asked what we were looking for while we were searching, probably thought we were crazy!


This marker for the Lewis and Clark trail is also located at the school. After searching for the benchmark, we went to the Caples Museum to give our travel bug another museum to visit. Unfortunately, despite the big "OPEN" flag flying in front and several other OPEN signs around, everything was locked up and we could find no one around to let us in.
