Georeferencing Remarks Gary Garrett's fieldnotes indicate this was a bridge collection, so first we assumed this was at an unnamed bridge off MX150 that is almost exactly 8 miles south of MX180 intersection. Measured by road. thus 'Jamapa River at bridge just west of MX150, 8 miles south of intersection of MX150 and MX180'. But Gary found a slide with a note 'Barrier bar across creek near Anton Lizardo, Site M-3-80' and the image shows the ocean in the background. With this he deduced this location - coordinates provided by him.
