| Name | Joseph K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I had to switch to the simplified form because the click & drag map was showing me a location in New York State, not Iowa. Now I realize maybe I was supposed to type the lat/long in myself. I was 1/2 mile S of the given address, so I corrected the given lat/long appropriately. I guess it\'s a typo where you ask the same question twice, the altitude where it first appeared. The second time, I guess you meant where it last appeared. |
