Note to all armchair finders - -THERE ARE NO VIRTUAL BENCHMARK FINDS. You have to hack through the brush, crawl out onto bridges, walk up to the buildings, dig in the dirt. You have to HUNT! Now get out there an d actually DO IT :) you will love it. Found on the beautiful restored depot in downtown Van Buren AR today. [Photos:] FH0141 R 28, Van Buren AR

We found this benchmark on the side of the train station in Van Buren while we were in town on a geocaching expedition. The benchmark was very easy to read, and we enjoyed finding it.

As 23Hunter said, this benchmark is still there and is still in good shape. The building is still a functioning train station. I'm not entirely certain how he'd know that it's still there, though, since his profile would seem to indicate that he's in Germany......

"Congratulations" to all the jokers, who are logging an American Benchmark while being in Prague! All(!) those fake logs are from German "cachers". As usual, when a cache (or benchmark, in this case) is flooded with fake logs . Greetings from Munich, Germany

Found virtually, thanks!

Today I decided to do the 12 (13) Icon Tour with Napoleone1972, mawe50 and TheGreenTool.

We started right after midnight with the Traditional , the Multi Cache and the Virtual before we went to bed to be ready for the CITO and the other Caches in the morning.

We talked a lot about the 12, 13 or 14 Icon Tour.

I decided for myself that I would definitely not log 14 since this would be cheating. I don't want to log an icon on the other side of the world I can't be at on the same day.

I logged benchmarks while I was in the US and I was able to touch them.

So it was at best a 13-Icon Tour for myself. Maybe I will come here one day while in the USA and I will be more than happy to log it then !

Found this one with my lady Tatauu2 while we were getting a nearby cache on a nice deserted Sunday afternoon. [Photos:] Me and Tatauu2 at the benchmark!

Hers are the little hands!



Made a quick find of this while grabbing a nearby cache! [Photos:] Me and Bif at the benchmark!

Going incognito with the hand shot!



Either my previous log was deleted or I forgot to log the benchmark. So, I will log the benchmark again as found. Was on a three day benchmark run with BasicPoke from Tulsa, Ok to Ft Smith, then north to Fayetteville and back to Tulsa. The woman in the museum said she had talked to a few people that were there to see the benchmark. We located the benchmark as described.

The benchmark is in a perfect condition.

Horrorheinz must be frustrated about something in his life.

The last 200 (?) logs does not agree to the guidelines of gc.com. No one of them was at the benchmark. This entry was edited by Horrorheinz on Thursday, 20 September 2012 at 10:31:14 UTC.

My 1st benchmark to find. This one is 2 blocks from my house. Took pictures and will upload later but the disc is in good shape. There is a passenger train that makes trips from Springdale to here and vice versa on a regular basis. Very popular in the fall when the leaves are changing color.

Seems like the old train stations all have a vertical reference marker. Curious to know why. We went and looked at this one today. This station is still in use every day. [Photos:] FH0141 Close-up

RELOGGING the find since mine was deleted. At the time I was living no more than a mile and a half from this location. I spent time in the museum talking with the ladies and telling them about benchmarking and geocaching. I understand that there are people out there that will try to use photos to "couch log" benchmarks and caches but I am not one of them. Every cache or mark I log I was there, that is part of the fun of the adventure. [Photos:] (#6) Benchmark FH0141, view 1

Niemand von euch war je bei N 35° 26.217 W 94° 21.083.

Found tis one while in Fort Smith Friday/Saturday but, couldn't log it at the time due to website problems. I found tis because of a virtual at the same location. Was my first Benchmark find. I may look for more in the future.

Found because of the virtual. These benchmarks are awesome, and I think I'm becoming addicted to them!

Found this as virtual cache, so logging here as a found benchmark.

We found this one while looking for another cache in the immediate vicinty... This is only our second benchmark, and let me tell you, the way these are done is the US is sure different than in Canada. For example, none of our survey disks are on buildings. Either way, this is great, thabks!!! Neko & Hiiri

Actually found this the Saturday after Thanksgiving when logging the virtual cache. Didn't get around to logging it until Jan 15.

Found on a day of Geocaching w/MustangAnnie & hvfd.

Cool depot. Looks like it'll be there for a while. Found this on our day of caching.

Right there where they left it.

We actually found this one in March but didn't think to log it as a benchmark we only logged the cache. So today we went back for the information to log the benckmark.

Located on the hunt for a geocache.

Found this while doing a local geocache.

Took this photo by flashlight. Reversing the colors brought out the numbers where they can be more easily read.



Found this one in the rain while doing the Train Trex #7. Facinating area of town!

Very nice train depot. Loved the area!

This one was a part of Train Trex #7. I enjoyed being at the station. A train went through just as we were there.
