Narrative and photographs
Not sure if I found this one. There is a hole drilled in rock just where the description specifies, but no definite marker anywhere to be found. This is located on a rocky ledge between two streets, which appears to be used as a path. So the disk may have been found and tampered with long ago. The coordinates also appear to be far off (the ones listed on the site and the datasheet are for a point about .75 miles away from the point described!), and I can’t find an explanation for this. The coordinates I got were N 41° 23.554’ W 075° 39.799’. If anyone can confirm that I’m right or that I’m totally off, please let me know!
