Location Description:
West 1.3 miles on Miller-Hunt Road to gate; through gate on unimproved farm road across railroad track to ridge and old house. Westerly on ridge to point northwest (326 degrees), 1,225 feet from where gas pipeline goes under railroad and west (267 degrees), 1,725 feet from old house. New road location may block entrance through gate to vehicles but will bring hard surface road much close to site. Photo AFN-2N-63.
