Jewel, and other list-members,
Truly, I *never* give specific directions to places I have visited unless the
places are carefully monitored by staff-members. It is a sad fact that if
the location of an area gets out, you are probably contributing to its
disappearance. For this reason, people who do field-work are usually very
cautious about revealing locations, and I have had to gently snub a few
people in the past who have asked me for suggestions on places to visit.
What is truly horrible is that in some populated places, CPers are stealing
from other CPers! Greenhouses have been burglerized and the ``desirable''
plants were stolen and commonplace beasts were left untouched. A very sad
comment on us as a group of hobbyists.

Ron, I'm the one who plugged this book---I'm glad you liked it.
Cheers,
