On the freeway?

[+dukeofurl01]

I've been eying KS1929 for a while, and come to the conclusion that it's actually on the freeway. (Hwy 99 is elevated about 100 feet) Do other people come to the same conclusion?

 

Thanks

If I was to guess I would say it is marked by the white paint on the guardrail in this photo.

Thanks to Google Earth Street View.

Wow, that's good. That's very likely it. All I have to do is figure out how to get it now. Thank you.

I'm having trouble figuring out where the picture is, would you mind sending the google maps link?

Here's a link to Google maps.

Interesting. It's on the southbound lane. I assumed that it would be on the northbound lane, I don't know why.

I used Google Earth not Google Maps.

 

Here is an aerial shot of the area. The arrow points to the location of where I think the disc is. The other marker is where Google Earth says the coordinates are.

this is a scaled mark so the coordinates could be that far off.

 

I also searched the north bound bridge until I read the description for about the fifth time.

 

It looks like you can get into the left lane of the south bound lane and pull off just past the bridge, then walk back to the mark. But be careful, the situation maybe different from what it looks like on the computer.

yeah, I see in the description where it says that it's in the southbound land, and I too read that many times, and it never really stuck. The whole NORTHEAST END OF THE SOUTHEAST CONCRETE ABUTMENT GUARDRAIL THE SOUTHBOUND HIGHWAY BRIDGE NORTHEAST OF THE CENTERLINE OF THE SOUTHBOUND LANES OF THE HIGHWAY, NORTHWEST OF THE SOUTHEAST END OF THE GUARDRAIL too many directions admittedly made me not think about it very hard. I'll check it out in the next few days, and I'll be careful. I'll take plenty of pictures.

I got it, I'll try and post the pictures tomorrow. It was difficult to get.

Congratulations!

I've done 'a few' of those myself!

The ones on the overpass balustrades are rather 'exciting'.

I went underneath and between it, then reached up above my head. I'm considering going back with a step stool or something so that I can actually see it instead of a blind camera shot.
