Wintertime Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 On our way home from the Mojave Desert last week, some friends and I stopped at a Caltrans rest stop near Buttonwillow to find the 2000 California Center of Population marker. The actual COP that year was a few miles northeast of the rest stop in someone's field. Presumably this location was chosen for the marker because of easy public access. Incorrect coordinates were posted for the mark in this forum a couple of years ago; those coords put it on the wrong (northbound) side of I-5. The actual coordinates, in geocaching format, are: N 35° 25.056 W 119° 25.466 I'm attaching some photos of the disk and its environment. Quote Link to comment
+Ernmark Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) I looked over @ Waymarking & nobody's posted this one in the US Benchmarks category, if you're inclined to post there.. Edited April 12, 2013 by Ernmark Quote Link to comment
Wintertime Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Oh, thanks Ernmark, I'll think about that. If anyone else here has visited the station and wants to turn it into a waymark, they're welcome to do so. Quote Link to comment
