  1. I run fire rescue and was out on an auto accident call one day when I realized that a mark I had wanted to look for was nearby. The mark should have been in the median strip, an area that is normally inaccessible due to the heavy traffic in the area. When it was determined that no EMS was required I took a quick stroll a little farther down the median before the engine crew finished their clean-up duties. No mark, but I have to say that taking advantage of a fire truck while it's blocking a lane for safety at an accident, may mean you're addicted. HV3489
  2. I found an 1871 mark HV5568. The ref marks were still there. Two of them had been updated in 1927, but a third was still an etched rock. The mark was a simple bolt in the rock, but I couldn't help thinking how difficult it must have been to wagon ride out there and then climb the hill with all that equipment and drill the rock for the bolt. It made it all the better when I found it to think about the person standing there 136 years prior.
