Black Hills, SD Expedition No. 125: Lupe at the Elk Benchmark near the NW corner of the ridge. Photo looks ESE back at the lookout tower, which is actually on slightly lower ground. There are two metal benchmarks separated by just a few feet near Lupe. The newer of the two can be seen just to the left of Lupe in the photo. The older one is on another rock a little farther to the left (N) and not in view (2015-04-04). Photo by Lupe !.
