Some months I do a better job of looking for benchmarks. This month was pretty good, found 12 and only 3 were towers.

Been a long dry spell. I did get one water tower while on vacation last week, and found 2 specific marks today. 2 others had to be marked destroyed as the old marks were replaced by newer ones that aren't in the system. Missed one due to frozen ground too.

I really wish I could remember to check for nearby benchmarks when I geocache.. I wish the app included a link to nearby benchmarks!

Found a mark on a box culvert today. Just happened to scrape the right spot in the snow.

Last Sunday, the water tower and the old school in West Concord were valid benchmarks. Those who cached after the Cup of Joe probably drove by both of them like I did.

I usually forget to log benchmarks unless I see something unusual.

I thought I had hit it lucky by finding 3 marks near a cache. The date was 1985, but none were in the system. I did find a valid one on a bridge near "Where's the Beef" in Blue Earth.

Riding my bike on the Shooting Star Bike Trail today and found 2 marks alongside the trail. It was nice to find them in the system. Must be careful trying to clear things away as the wild parsnip is 5-6 ft high in places.

Caching in Waseca and getting 4 benchmarks to boot makes for a happy cacher!

Out caching the Blue Earth area today and doing some cache maintenance. I happened to run into 3 good benchmarks too. Good timing since there is snow coming.

Cached in Waseca yesterday. 1 mark found near Homer Territory, but the 4 I found along Highway 13 south of town weren't in the system. That's the way it goes.
