This horizontal control station is conveniently located along the trail to On the Roost, so even though Aaron was with us, there was simply no way Rich and I could resist recovering this mark. Fortunately, it didn’t take long! The mark is in excellent condition and right out in the open along a field road as described, the only difference being that the fence just north of the mark has been removed. This mark is located just outside the boundary of SGL #119.
