JS4124 "Sacramento State Capitol Dome" - Revisit
Located in the City of Sacramento, Sacramento County, California, this USC&GS mark - the spire on the California State Capitol Building, utilized by the USC&GS - lies prominently in the center of downtown Sacramento. The mark was found at 15:20, 28 July 2018 as described and in good condition. Go to description is adequate to find the mark.
As stated in the title, this was a revisit. I originally visited this mark on 15 November 2008.
No new coordinates were taken.
