Two Markers Marking.

In the same cove where the canning pier from yesterday's post was shown, we found this marker on a rock on the shore:



It says, "U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Elevation ______ feet above mean sea level. $250 fine or imprisonment for disturbing this mark." The elevation is unreadable or gone. Maybe someone went to prison when they messed with it.

Walking on the beach the other day I found this marker on a log:




It says, "American Timber and Trading Co. 1967 Sumner, Wash." I wonder how long this was floating around in the water before it came ashore here in Anchor Point.
