Looks like a H.A.R.N. set up. Nice work.

Very nice post and a great list of replies. As a cadastral surveyor ,Read party chief, here in Oregon. I get the chance to follow the General Land Office's original notes in search of Government corners. We also check into alot of Benchmarks, and used several for local base stations for our RTK GPS work. Now that we have the cors reference stations running, we haven't used as many benchmarks as in the past. I can tell you that tampering with a set survey marker in general is a violation of state law. Not to mention a real pain for the unlucky character who has to try to figure out where the extra 2/10ths of a foot came from. I have only had the opportunity to set 2 benchmarks in my 7 yrs. Not sure how many more will get set, but its nice to see the work used for different things. Merry Christmas. Keep up the hunt

Just got my etrex GPS a week ago for my 40th Birthday. I have yet to place, but have 17 finds in 2 days of caching. Seen several nice ideas. wide mouth peanut butter jars, the plastic ones. Coffee creamer jugs with camo tape, pvc with a screw on lid and spring clamp to put it in a tree. almost anythig will work. You can paint it up, or put tape on. Make sure you follow the instructions at geocaching,com . They explain what you need. We have traded playing cards, matchbox cars. different medallions that we have had. Al sorts of stuff will work. Take the kids along if you have any. They will have a blast.
