Needs
I just found it in August 2001 after two attempts. Need to return in the winter when weeds and leaves gone. Clear out all growth,
determine boundary (there is part of a rail-wire fence on one side and an old rusty car on the other), pick up all stones to
identify, do some digging to find buried stones, perhaps lay down plastic & mulch because it will never be mowed up there, and
put in a fence because hunters go through there.
