+rogbarn Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 The is the farthest west benchmark that I can find. TT6238 It's in the western Aleutians Islands of Alaska. It's over the 180 degree longitude line, so it's longitude is (about) 173 degrees E. But the database lists it as 187 degrees W! This comes directly from the NGS database where it is also 187W. Go figure.... btw, I didn't do a through search, so there might be some more even further west. Anyone want to search? Quote Link to comment
+Web-ling Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 TT6243 is just a little further west - N52º54.129 W187º29.166 (according to the BM page) Quote Link to comment
+Just a Short Walk Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Hey what a good location for a geocache! No caches show up here! Someone better go plant one soon so that whoever finds this BM will be able to log the cache! quote:Originally posted by rogbarn: The is the farthest west benchmark that I can find. http://www.geocaching.com/mark/details.asp?PID=TT6238 It's in the western Aleutians Islands of Alaska.

I bet I know by looking at the descriptions stamped on disk 1 and 2...... I am surprised that it wasn't marked with a glass bottle! -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ "Just a Short walk" Says....
