Wow thats good!!  I've seen them off by as much as .2 miles.  The one we 
went for was off by about .15 miles.  We ended up using the directions on 
the data sheet.  Although most of the roads they mention are either paved 
now or gone all together we were able to piece it together close enough to 
find it.  Here is a good picture of what these benchmarks typicaly look 
like, look in the background Cody....YELLOW Jeep!!!

Also as an idividual you can report back to the NGS on the conditions of the 
benchmarks you find.  If anyone is interested I'll post the link.

The one that was near my work showed a difference of 5 feet between my GPSR
and the published coords.
