Aha then they have a problem in their encoding script that they should
be made aware of. I was never aware of this database until your email
and there is a site that is close by me that I am glad was listed so I
can go visit with my son and have a hike around and see if we can get
lucky and find anything that was missed out there.

Thanks again for posting,
Mike
