Ah! That is good info to include! Yes the reference measurements to the edges are as described. There is no other marks on the head wall that would indicate when it was built. The gate is long gone. The coords are 33d 53.564 N 117d 15.149 W. I was standing SE of the mark when I snapped the pictures. As for the condition of the concrete, it looks the same today as it did when I was stationed there in 1990. (Rest In Peace, Stategic Air Command!) Very dry air and it VERY rarely gets below freezing. Good place to store a vintage car!

I'm very new to BM hunting, but I'm very addicted to now. I seem to learn something new each time I go hunting for one and I'm glad I read all of these posts and the FAQ. On to the question--- I wanted to find this mark DX2727 but what I was expecting to see as a chiseled cross would have been much like you'd see in masonary work. What I found looks more like someone dropped something. Did I find it? Also, if you all would like to review my finds (and not finds) and give me any feedback, I'd really appreciate it!
