I just got into geocaching less than a week ago, and have decided to try a little benchmark hunting as well. Today for my first one I chose one that offered no challenge (because I know its location very well) but which seemed like a great first log for sentimental reasons because it's very near where I grew up and it's at geogeek central: the USGS Western Region Center in Menlo Park, Calif. I took some photos of the benchmark and of the beautiful plantings around it.
Unfortunately, when I got home I discovered that since this is a USGS rather than NGS benchmark, it isn't in Geocaching.com's database. So I guess there's no way to share my photos on this site? Shall I put them on my own web site and then post a message here with a link?
Thanks!
