I actually thought I was taking some good pictures of these corners.

The first one is in the bottom of a very steep canyon, almost to the flowline, maybe to feet north of it, the thing took me a good hour to hike to. I was very concerned that it would be lost, down the canyon from erosion, but to my surprise it has survived:

The next one I can drive to, it's a mound of stone and a set stone, a plastic cap was set a few decades ago, the caps were always buried for some weird reason. It took a while to find it, almost impossible to see this one, on the opposite side of the stone from the rod:

One daughter announced several years ago that she was changing jobs and moving to Waldo. You know what my first question had to be.

They are hard to pick out, I wanted to use the first one on the corner record, the second one I'm going to remonument when I do that part of the boundary. Then I'll get some better pictures, I hope to never go back to the first monument,,,,,,,,ever.

The picture just isn't all that great.

He did always bury his caps, usually a plastic cap, at least if they are buried they will still be on the rebar, exposed to the elements usually they were long gone in a few seasons.
