Subject: Re: help needed identifying looted (SW USA) borderlands site Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:12:57 -0500 From: Bob Skiles <b.ski...@ix.netcom.com> a couple of people have reported that the links were broken in my earlier cut-and-paste post ... they've been rebuilt [below] and hopefully all will work now ~~~~~~~~~~~ distributed via Oklahoma BLM office - BLM Special Agent Dan Barnes is the lead on this case; his address/ phone is provided below. Please contact him directly if you recognize persons, places, or things in the photos. Please distribute far and wide to your state contacts, contractors, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~ I am hoping someone can help me identify a location. The photos were found during a search warrant in Colorado [see links below]. They appear to have show individuals looting an archeological site. I am working with agents in other states trying to figure out where this is. It could be on BLM, USFS, or other lands. If anyone has a clue where this could be, please contact me.

Somewhere on the borderlands, at any rate, down where we've got lots of limestone, caverns, and mountains. The rock house, with its striking green windows, should be recognizable to someone." --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
