Special thanks to RonJS for info and feedback regarding the Red Gate Woods area.

I made it back yesterday and was ready to hike in from Archer Ave, however the forest preserve was open this fine 60 degree day making access easier. That said I estimate the hike to get to both sites was over 2 miles(got turned around a couple times), took about 1 hour 15 minutes of quick paced walking and manuevering around some mud. Glad I lost those 30 lbs. over the past 10 months, but this hike almost kicked my butt.

Eerily quiet/dead energy area to my senses, the access road is crumbling and leads to Site A(where CP2 & CP3 are buried, an unpaved access road leads to Plot M(low level radiocative material dump). Really hard to imagine what this place was like back in the day.
