However, the site location was not published, marked, signed or fenced off... it was kept a 'secret', hidden by some brush from the road...



Hmmmm......:light:

Woody... a 'secret' to the average person, but well known to INAH ( who documented and surveyed it a historical site, but left no signage) and the Espinoza family who probably owns the land (Sony Espinoza showed me the site). Thank God for that so both I and Jack Swords could take perhaps the last photos of it before the tractor driver destroyed it!

Here is a satellite closeup of the site (before being plowed over). It is on the edge of the lower resolution region... Note the road coming up out of Arroyo San Juan de Dios heading east... the bends to the north and back east again. The ruins were just south of that bend in the road... You can see some outlines in the image: San Juan de Dios
