Were they on city property? Many cities will mark or tag trees on city property for inventory/arborist purposes.

I should add its dead in the middle of the woods at an old mining site...

That's a canary log. They used canaries to monitor the air quality in the mines. When a canary stopped singing or died, it was a warning to get out of the mine. K 27 = 27 canaries killed. 8 lc = 8 lost canaries.
Now where did I put my meds?

Aspen grow pretty fast. If they were marked back in the day..."old mining site" the marks would be unreadable by now.
