Thanks. I finally thought to look it up and learned a little about it. Noted in the log that I found 24 in a search on the database we use for benchmarking.

Had to search for at least 30 to get these 9. Getting pretty slim pickings around here. LC0515, REG KB0540, REG KB0541, REG KB1311, REG KB1342, REG KB1345, REG KB1353, REG LC1802, REG LC1803, REG

Did keep looking until I finally at least found 10. One, KB1311 is called a Vortec by the people who established it as a benchmark. It's about the weirdest one I've ever seen and I was the first to log it. Hope you found some on the way to rehearsal.

Long as you don't show up for the actual wedding with dirt all over the tux, they may let it slide. The first half dozen I looked for today were either destroyed or plowed over by farmers. Surprising how many more urban ones survive in Illinois.

Don't move to Illinois hoping to find more benchmarks. I haven't kept track but I bet I've looked for at least a half dozen benchmarks for every one I've found here.

LC0506, DNF* KB0530, DNF *The previous logger indicated that they had found the benchmark. However, they also said they had only found the witness post and they thought that counted. So, technically, since they admitted they didnt find the mark, this could be a DNF.

Almost forgot this one. KB1348, REG

Pretty pathetic batch for the last couple of days but better than nothing, I guess. KB0528, REG LC2089, REG LC0493, REG LC0486, REG

CK3749, REG CK3764, REG CK3761, REG CK0653, REG I'll certainly understand if the judges won't accept this one because it is pretty unreadable but I couldn't make the disk readable without defacing the paint job on this historic monument and others have found and photographed this exact disk also showing the problem. Also, I was obviously there because I took a picture of the lighthouse for CK3749. Either way it was still a neat lighthouse and find.

Last entry for a couple weeks but I shall be back. Have scoped out about 3,000 water towers, a couple thousand spires and some antenna, oh, and a couple lighthouses, for inclusion when I return. Happy Hunting, everyone. LC0218, REG LC0535, REG LC2055, REG LC2055, REG LC0024, REG

Not as good a day as I'd have liked, but not too bad. LC0971, DNF**** LC0918, REG LC0806, REG LC0813, REG LC0816, REG LC0951, REG LC0955, REG LC0961, REG LC0962, REG LC0967, REG LC0804, REG

LC2052, ERR Previous logger didn't have a photo of it but described it well enough that there is little doubt they found and logged the wrong one. The right one had been buried in recent landscaping changes. I carefully replaced the sod so as not to upset the local authorities.

I entered this once and it was deleted because it said my time expired. Hopefully, works better this time. LC1143, REG AF9263, REG KB1010, REG LC1132, REG LC0795, REG LC1207, REG KB1067, REG KB1085, REG KB1091, REG LC1148, REG LC1059, REG

With my digital, which has a portrait mode, I use that mode and then zoom in as closely as possible to get as close and clear as possible. Still, with the damage some of the disks have taken from nature and/or people who seem to think they have nothing better to do, some are really hard to read or unreadable.

Ridiculously rainy, crappy day here and picked a lousy area to go to as well. But, better than nothing. LC0198, REG LC0192, REG
