geodetic survey lafayette

As I struggled through the blasts of wind to the summit of Lafayette, I looked down at my feet and discovered this geodetic survey marker. I just got lucky finding this one, since I didn't intend to spend a lot of time scouring the area for markers in these high winds.

The marker reads "US COAST & GEODETIC SURVEY TRIANGULATION STATION FOR INFORMATION WRITE TO THE DIRECTOR WASHINGTON D.C. $250 FINE OR IMPRISONMENT FOR DISTURBING THIS MARK 1958". There's a triangle in the middle, and a word which looks like "HIGH". Cool!
