Rich and I nearly missed this mark altogether. After a day of hunting and hiking in the gamelands and finding the Tanners’ Condos geocache, we looked through our USGS datasheets and found two nearby disks (29 M and 30 M) that we planned to investigate. It was only by accident that I happened to notice this “U.E.” listed, and we realized the mark had to be located on the bridge over the falls, which we’d just crossed twice. True to the description, a chiseled square was found on the northeast corner of the west pier of the bridge. Yellow paint is still evident along the side (north face) of the stone with the chiseled mark; currently there is no paint on the mark itself.
