Narrative and photographs

Aaron spotted this one from the car as we drove by; I had him pull into the parking lot of the Otesaga Hotel across the street so I could photograph the mark. We reached the area easily via the description (the streets are still the same) but the landmarks in the area have changed quite a bit. The concrete post was an easy find, however, standing right at the end of the fence. The disk was in excellent condition with the stamping clear, though the post was leaning slightly to one side.
