The Marker Listing Needs Corrected
The coordinates and actual map location seem to be reasonable (based on my knowledge of the landmark, not a visual on the marker)... the problem is, this marker is listed as being in Rancho Cordova, CA, and that is definitely incorrect. The nearest town would most likely be Tehachapi, CA (refer to the position on map, which seems to be correct).
