An RC Corner

While I was working near Falling Spring in Oregon County, my surveyors heart was blessed to find this old corner.  I have been working in cities and towns so long that I had almost forgot how to do the little dance that surveyors do when a GLO corner is found.  In the foreground is the rockpile with an old pipe stuck in the north side (you are facing north by the way).  The stone setting up cardinal in the rockpile is not the original marker.  In 1821, the original GLO surveyor just set a wooden post which has went the way of all the earth.  There was a stumphole from one of the original GLO witness trees and the witness tree in this picture was taken in a subsequent survey around the turn of the last century, which also made the rockpile.  The location posters on the trees are from various times that USFS personnel visited the corner.

Why is this called an RC corner you ask?  Please do not be offended but RC stands for Ray Charles...and the implication is that you should be able to find this corner in the dark, it is so obvious.
