71.110.34.87
My mistake, it is University of Az. However, according to the abstract on the website (http://www.geo.arizona.edu/pdf/GeoDaze_2009.pdf) the GPS unit is directly over the benchmark. There is another unit on the peak of Mt. San Jacinto as well. Students are studying the relative movement of the 2 peaks.
Very interesting!

: There was a standard brass benchmark
: up there, but the boulder it was on
: rolled over. There is a very small
: black-colored one up there (about
: 1.5" across) just southwest of
: the old phone box used as a
: register. I tried to get a picture
: of it this past June but its too
: small to focus on without a macro
: lens.
