Log: Recovered in good condition on Sunday 7/25/2025 at 2:26pm EDT. In spite of the sidewalks, this area is not very walkable, but it’s still possible to reach the mark relatively safely. The GPS coordinates seemed pretty close, and the MDOT locating instructions are still accurate. The disc is flush with the sidewalk and easy to spot. This is the first benchmark disc that I’ve logged since the geocaching.com benchmarking sunset (I have logged a few spires and domes in the meantime). Benchmarking has always been sort of a side game to geocaching for me, but I still find it more interesting than, say, waymarking or Munzee. Maybe I missed my calling to be a surveyor?

There is another nearby mark, JV6578, that I would like to look for during the non-growing season. I walked by it today, but the grass was a little high (and the sun a little too hot) for me to want to go wandering into the field where it is located.
