Hi Russell -
I'm heading over there 6/26-6/30, and will be spending some time in that
field (getting pictures of the foundation). Last summer I tried, and
whilst I /found/ them, I didn't /recognize/ them! Things have changed
since Jorgensen's pictures for sure. I'll try to get some good shots,
and post them somewhere, and report out on how I found it.
If you're interested in the mean-time, send me a note, and I'll give you
what I got from last time...
Alan
