More about this marker. I indicated above that the marker is visible from the road. This is true, but you have to really look for it. The rock it's embedded in is only a foot or so high. If you are looking to visit this marker, look for the bus shelter, it's about 20-25 feet left and towards the hill behind the shelter.
