Designation: 120 MLS 1963
Setting: Boulder
Type: Bench Mark Disk

This disk can be found in the same boulder that once held THORO ERDL AZ MK 1 (described in HW3272). All that remains of that mark is a drill hole, but 120 MLS was our bonus when we went to the Pinnacles Overlook to search for the azimuth mark.
