Observer
Name Jonathan G
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks For more refined GPS coordinates of my observation point, I was driving northbound on I-71, approx 0.1 mi. shy of mile marker 65. I was unable to find GPS coordinates for that location via Google, but the Ky. Dept. of Transportation likely has them.
