Mystery photo number eighteen

August 23, 2012 by Dave Knadler

One of the markers is actually in the middle of the path.

A trail of tears.


The path up this grassy slope is dotted with white markers. Even more markers are clustered at the top of the hill, which is out of view here. They seem to have some historical significance.

For one point, name the location of this photo and the significance of the markers.

For three points, provide the geographic coordinates of this location, down to degrees and minutes. (Seconds aren’t required.)

    I’m going to take a wild guess and say Battle of Little Bighorn National Monument on the Crow Agency in Montana. The monument at the top of the hill is to the fallen from the battle. The markers indicate where the bodies were found. I have said before that I am way out of my league in this contest but the photo looks so much like the way I remember the area.

        Woohoo!!! I can’t believe I have a point. I should bequeath it to one of the more deserving contestants.
