Gotta be up for a mile+ round trip hike as the site is in the middle of the Red Gate Woods Forest Preserve(currently closed for the winter). Here is an old access road leading to the site

Since Red Gate Woods FP is not closed, I am confident you mean that just it's parking lot is closed (for the winter)

Across the street from the access road gate pic. of yours is a wide shoulder. It's there because "back in the days" it was the "end of the line" for the public bus line. (Used by many of the site workers) The bus needed room in order to turn around.

While I have not checked the coordinates, this wiki page has some GPS numbers for the area....

This site has some aerial shots...

Goggling " Site A and Plot M Palos Forest Preserve" will bring up all kinds of government reports that can also be used as a sleep aid.

I like this old Chicago Reader story....

Unless I feel like breaking the law during morel season, I try to hold down visitation of this area to once a week.

I wonder why?
