Ok, so I haven't been visiting this forum as often as I'd like, and I've been posting even less. So I have decided to post everything I know/suspect and let people criticize or correct as they want. Also: I will be making several excursions into the field in the next week. If anyone wants to come along and scope out the area, simply let me know. Two heads are better than one, and all that jazz.
