This image captures a geodetic survey marker or benchmark set in concrete, positioned on what appears to be a hiking trail at Drakes Beach. The marker features a metal disk with a QR code sticker, embedded in a roughly triangular piece of concrete. The surrounding terrain shows dried pine needles and grass interspersed with patches of green vegetation, typical of coastal California trails. The worn appearance of both the marker and the trail suggests this is an established path in a natural area where elephant seals are known to congregate.
