Halfway There! - Direction and Distance Arrows on Waymarking.com

In 1991 a fossil was discovered in the Milford Gypsum Mine of a large male mastodon (~22yrs old at time of death).

Today a large statue stands at the exit to Stewiacke to mark the fossil discovery and the fact that this location is exactly halfway between the North Pole and the Equator.

Mastodon Ridge is accessible year-round and offers entertainment for children, food services, tourism information, and now a WAYMARK!
