+rogbarn Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 How far afield are people getting? How many different states do you have recovered benchmarks from? I only have 3 states, but I suspect that some out there have more. Come on in and brag!! Quote Link to comment
ArtMan Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I claim 4 1/2 states. I've got VA, MD, DC and NJ. I can almost claim DE too. JU3840 is listed in MD, but it's a Mason-Dixon survey monument along the border, so it seems half of it should be considered in Delaware. I hope to get a legit DE mark soon, and I do plan trips to PA and WV in the not-too-distant future! Quote Link to comment
+rogbarn Posted September 24, 2002 Author Share Posted September 24, 2002 Yes, you easterners really do well when it comes to hitting a bunch of different states easily. Of course, I'm just a bit jealous because I used to be one and, all things being equal, would like to be back there right now. Anyway, anyone else???? Quote Link to comment

Unless we have any New Englanders who have visited CA recently (or vice versa), you would also have the record for longest distance between two found benchmarks. That's a pretty neat record!

But now that this topic as come up, aren't you kicking yourself for not getting one in Kansas and Oklahoma to completely claim those states?! Quote Link to comment

Actually, looking back at my logs, there WAS one I'd forgotten about in Kansas - about 50 yards NW of the tri-mark. And I looked for one in Oklahoma, but couldn't find it. so I've actually got 7 1/4 states. Quote Link to comment

ArtMan Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 In addition to previous stations logged in DC, VA, MD, DE and NJ, this weekend I visited two in PA, giving me a total of 6 states (or equivalents, and I *do* count your nation's capital, the District of Columbia). My latest finds - though not yet formally logged - are JU0830 and JU0779, in or near Chester, PA (south of Philadelphia). Next stop: West Virginia! Quote Link to comment
rescueseven Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Theres lots of places to get triples but only one place to get a Quad, it is AD9256. I have been to this BM (just like a gazillion other folks), but that was a long time ago. I guess I could log this one retro, but that just isn't my style. Thanks for pointing out the multi-state facet of BMing. I now have my eyes on CO NE WY. Happy hunting, R7 [This message was edited by rescueseven on October 16, 2002 at 10:31 AM.] Quote Link to comment
