- Official USGS Description: U.E., Bar Harbor Post Office, 1.1 mi W. of, along Eagle Lake Road, near Kebo Valley Golf Links Club House; 40 ft SE. of Eagle Lake Road; 40 ft NE. of T-rd., on rock; chiseled square
It’s exciting to have the USGS datasheets, because now we know about even more benchmarks on MDI! This one is only a U.E., but it’s in an interesting location in the woods at Kebo Valley Golf Course. It’s a chiseled square, so we knew it could be a challenge to find, but it could also be a lot of fun. Turns out it was a surprisingly easy find on a large boulder. Unlike many other such chiseled squares, the surface of the boulder was clear of moss and forest debris so the carving really stood out.
