On March 24, 2007 I attempted my first benchmark find. I did not have a GPSr yet and I only used the description given in the details for benchmark JV3774. I wanted to make sure that I would like the hunt before purchasing a GPSr.
The benchmark seems to have gotten buried further by sediment. I uncovered it again. It was under about 4 inches of sediment approximately 3 feet from the telephone pole.
To date I have: 20 benchmark finds, 31 Navicache finds, 58 OCUS finds, 86 Terracaching finds, and 3,693 Groundspeak finds. I guess I like the hunt. I hope you do as well.
I have also hidden a groundspeak cache very nearby, but this listing is completely separate. I also have a Terracache (virtual) at the VFW memorial across the street (you can see it from here). Don't forget about the benchmark either.
You can park on the side of the road on Griffith Lane just a few hundred feet NW of the cache.
