Geocache Description:

This is a micro key holder (mkh) hidden in the parking lot of the Wynnewood train station. There is ample parking in this lot as well as across the street. Bring your own ballpoint pen!

The cache is located 347 feet above sea level and I had 15 feet of accuracy when I hid it.

The cache is not near the train tracks so stay away from them!

One of the icons available to cachers is that of the benchmark. Benchmarks are geodetic control points that are permanently affixed objects at various locations all over the United States to enable land surveying, civil engineering and mapping to be done efficiently. These objects are usually metal disks, but can be any other object that serves as a control point.

Many people don't realize that benchmarks are all around us so I decided to hide this cache within 5 feet of the benchmark.

Before or after you find the cache, you can find benchmark KV5937, then go and log it!

Don't believe the geocaching.com maps, the cache is located south of the train tracks.

Bring your own ballpoint pen!
