Our first goal for this afternoon was to find H 112 along the Encinas Trail. D 295 was the next one along the trail, about a mile distant. It was hot, but we figured, what’s one more mile? (Of course, it’s really two when you’re going out and back.) The trail is so pleasant and the desert is so beautiful to us that we enjoyed every step, and soon found ourselves looking at D 295. The monument and disk are in good condition. We could see the mound of concrete that had once supported the witness post, but the post is gone.
