Narrative and photographs
Rich and I found this mark as described, in the parking lot for the Stony Man trailhead. We were in this very same spot yesterday when we hiked the Stony Man Trail, but (believe it or not) I was feeling “benchmarked-out” and was more in the mood for dinner than for documenting yet another mark. So we headed to Skyland for a delicious, relaxing meal, and came back today to photograph this mark. We found the disk to be in good condition, and no changes to the datasheet description are necessary.
