So when I was at bennett springs riding my bike and hiking I noticed a model 2 on top the exhibit building. On this really short pole next to the building as I got closer I noticed there was darley model 2. this pole was so short if I jumped I could touch the darley but I did not. it was still wired and active because of the wire going into it. also on the tiny pole was this model A or L type siren on there witch was right in front of my face from where I was standing. I asked around about the sirens and one of the workers said that the 2 goes of every day a 6:30 in the morning. he said the Darley model 2 was a backup siren and he did not know about the tiny model A/L type siren. At first from a distance I thought it was some sort of light.

I'm planning to go down there to get pictures sometime but I have a lot of groups of towns on my waiting list so sometime. It's located on top the small building near the hatchery. if you want exact location here on top of the tiny building you will see a white dot looking this thats the new 2. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Benne ... 92.8557371 from satilite. from street view https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7240971 ... 312!8i6656
