PTS 1 Y is situated as described (the steel bridge has been replaced, but the old abutments remain), so it made for an easy find. It’s on the southeast corner of the east abutment of the Church Street bridge over the Lackawaxen River. Rich and I located it after finding Cat-in-the-hat’s Lackawaxen in Hawley - 1.1 cache in the park across the street. The disk has been painted over at least twice but the stamping is still legible and the disk is in good condition. The mark is just a few yards west of a USGS gaging station.
