+LSUFan Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi Everyone, while I was out letting the 15 year old daughter gain driving experience today (and losing more hair in the process), we ran across some kind of marker encased in concrete near benchmark BW2018. I had never seen this before and took some pics of it, and included them in my geocaching log for BW2018. I couldn't wait to get back and ask the experts here. Can ya help educate me and identify what this marker is? Thanks Bobby Quote Link to comment
TillaMurphs Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 F.A.P stands for Federal Aid Project. I believe they are identifying markers for federal highway projects. I have seen FAP markers used as reference items in descriptions before. I don't know much more than that. However, I bet Z15 and others do. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment
Z15 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) Just marks the beginning of a Federal Aid Highway project. The plans called for putting these in by the contractor. Public eye food of the times. They have since discovered something else It has nothing to do with surveying and more to do with politics of the times.

+LSUFan Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 I want to thank Tillamurphs and Z15 for the help, and apologize for it taking so long to acknowledge it. Life sure has gotten in my way here lately. Thanks so much. I have already forwarded the info to the others in our local benchmarking gang. Again, I am sorry that I didn't respond sooner.
