“WOOF! ” (forwarded)
Hee… watch out, Rusti.
Barbarian was reading this over my shoulder and he got all excited. “Wait, wait, those are MY benchmarks! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!”
I guess it’s a dog thing. (He’s just kidding, anyway. There are benchmarks everywhere and, dog that he is, he goes around marking as many as he can.)
Raccoons like the geocaching better, though. THAT’s a raccoon thing.
Get a GPS — it’s fun. And I agree, the historical stuff is even more fascinating.

What really got me were the benchmarks. Might be fun to grab the digital camera and photodocument some of the other marks near town. I’d run across N 266/ME1657 as a kid; there’s a nice sign on a witness post.
There are also possible historical references. Descriptions tell what was in an area when the monument was placed. ME3019 (INDIAN) and ME3071 (002 COC) happen to lie along Forest Preserve Drive, which itself is the northern Indian Boundary Line, set by a treaty in 1816. The forest preserves just north of there were originally lands granted to Claude Laframboise and Alexander Robinson (both of Native American descent) in the Treaty of Prairie du Chien in 1829.
