Shifting Base
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 11, 2008
Caption: Shifting Base
Additional Description: When first placed, the tablet faced the park road running to the east of the current road bed. The Park Service shifted the road lines after the 1930s. As such the tablet has been rotated almost around in order to face the current road. The base of the old mounting is apparent under the current pedestal.
