Nature Done Wright

On Monday I asked:

What is this, and where in Allendale did I photograph it?

Answer: It's a benchmark from the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, and it's next to the Allendale firehouse.

There used to be one on top of High Mountain but it and its replacements reportedly kept getting stolen. Still fun to try to find where it was.

My favorite fake: A  U.S. Geological Survey benchmark, sold as a keychain fob at the Grand Canyon. (So sorry to hear about the wildfires there.)
