After spending a very pleasant morning hunting fossils nearby along the shore of Beltzville Lake, I decided to check out this stream gaging station (which I had seen before), curious if a benchmark might be set nearby. I’ve seen them a few times before at gaging stations. To my delight, one was set here, too.
