Was out hiking by Tenaya Lake and found this survey marker from 1915 out on some slabs supported by some boulders. Normally these are by roads, trails, summits, high points, etc but this was in a area just above Tenaya Lake with no real views. They are also normally anchored into rock so that they can not be removed, never seen one like this.

There are some nice flowers in the high country now and I found these on the side of Mt Gibbs today. Not sure what they are but there were tons of them.
