Description EN

NOTE: This listing is an example of a benchmark cache type, in this case it in an example of a Canadian benchmark listed in the CGS-NRC database. THIS IS ALSO AN EXAMPLE OF MULTIPLE STATIONS AT A SINGLE LOCATION (the pillar itself is "PIER 1 London 813041; the brass "bolt" shown in my photo and attached to the concrete pillar is "98U100". Although it is currently listed as a virtual, it will eventually be converted to the new benchmark type when that is rolled out, or it will be archived and relisted. The final format may change in accordance to the listing requirements once those have been decided. you are welcome to find this virtual cache all the same, while it is still active.

If you are viewing this listing and would like to make suggestions for the new Benchmark Cache Type, please leave comments on this cache page or in the OCNA forum: http://forum.opencaching.us/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1820

User Description:

This Benchmark is a High Precision 3D Station (813041). It is also a Canadian Base Network station (813041) and two Vertical control marks (813041 and 98U100).The concrete pillar is located Morrison Rd south-west of London Ontario. Do not attempt to access this one from the 401 Highway - it is both dangerous and illegal.

Note there are numerous concrete pillars along Morrison Rd - most are (other) Vertical Control Marks.
