A standard GLO pipe cap disk adjacent to an old Los Alamos National Laboratory barbed-wire boundary fence. The land to the east is section 7, but this is not a corner on that section. Also the land to the east is now San Ildefonso Pueblo tribal land, so don't cross the fence. This corner was reached by descending off the top of Otowi Mesa near the Los Pueblos trail head. The disk is stamped
