AC7853 11 102.55 -- MN/SD border on SH SD 11/MN 269 nr Jasper MN
N 43° 50.986 W 096° 27.201
14T E 704692 N 4858339
The MN/SD border is marked by the usual signs, and also by NGS benchmark AC7853 11 102.55, which is a rivet in a cornfield. At the state line the SD State Hwy 11 becomes MN State Hwy 269 <-- another clue.

Blasterz are FTF on that border rivet benchmark, of course :) It's just how we roll -- ha ha
This is a very cool and subtle place. We did not know the benchmark was here until we looked down the line in the corn with an NGS witness post in it -- always a clue for benchmark hunters that something may be there to find!
