"BALDY NO 2" is a benchmark monumented by the USC&GS in 1935 located in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. It is a dedicated reference mark for BALDY 2, which has been destroyed.
The best way to get to "BALDY NO 2" is to go up the Old Baldy Trail to the summit of Mount Wrightson.
So there is a picture of reference mark 1 here, here, here, and here but it wasn't obvious on the summit. There is an imprint in a rock of a former benchmark which I've concluded to be RM 1. It is odd that the original distription only talks about RM 1, however it is worth noting that the old lookout house was used as a reference as well.
