Iconic Bay Area landmark that went missing has now been located

A well-known East Bay sculpture that was vandalized and went missing has now been recovered, according to numerous reports.

The sculpture is widely known as the “Mission Peak pole,” located atop the hiking area of Mission Peak in Fremont.

The top part of the pole — which long served as a popular photo opp for hikers — had been removed at some point, although its not known when exactly that happened. The disappearance was made known through pictures circulated on social media and elsewhere over the weekend.
