Thanks=2C Larry=2C for making us aware of this.
There are so many sites in eastern Kings that in looking at those on your m=
ap=2C I had difficulty visualizing where some of the sites were located. I =
would suggest adding the GPS coordinates so there would be no doubt which i=
s which. We have family visiting so I'm occupied until August 12 but from t=
here on I could provide the coordinates for them.

pupate in a few days. We see none of this in the wild in our field so preda=
