Narrative and photographs

Found it late this afternoon after locating the nearby ‘Chipmunk Haven’ geocache. This was a very easy marker to find, and there’s a convenient spot to park just a few feet from the bridge. I ran over to the bridge, hopped over the guardrail and found the benchmark immediately; I took a few quick photos as the traffic rushed by beside me. (It seemed more like Interstate 81 than County Road 45024!) Coordinates weren’t a bad match, but the description was right on and that’s what led me directly to the mark.
