Personal photos and notes
My brother and I visited this site in June 2024. One footer is visible beneath the gravel in a parking area at the end of a forest road, a trailhead parking area. The forest road was in decent shape when we visited. (It’s not the same road as the one to the cemetery; older maps seem to suggest they once were.)
