Yesterday evening I drove half an hour to scout a site that appears to have a cluster of 6 colonial cellar holes along an abandoned colonial road, around 3 on each side. They are around 50-100 feet away and not visible from the trail (which is the colonial road). I had a GPS map made of each site based on a lidar image overlay. I went almost a mile down the trail, through mud and puddles to check for the cellar holes. I stopped at my placemarks and saw nothing at each one. I decided to goback to the car, it was almost dark, and drove home. I checked my overlay when I got home and realized that the overlay was misaligned by around 150 feet. It pays to double check your research before driving half an hour and walking a mile to a site that isn't even there. I am going to try to go there again tomorrow morning, with the right GPS map this time. Anyone ever mess up when trying to locate a site?
