Narrative and photographs

We were on our way from Ajo to Organ Pipe National Monument (and ultimately into Mexico) this morning when we happened to spot what looked like a round concrete monument alongside the highway. We stopped at a convenient pulloff to check it out, and we were in luck—there was indeed a benchmark disk set in the top of the monument! It is part of the 333 line that follows this highway. The disk and monument are in good condition.
