Image issues from August 2013 photographs

edit

I User:Royalbroil took images of many buildings in 2013. Here are some issues:

I think this is the structure in the second line in the Norwegian section that is labeled "Abandoned Barn". Check the coordinates against the satellite image to see if it looks like the correct location. I believe that I had walked over to those buildings and have better photos.

I have uploaded all of the images that I have. I don't have decent images of any other buildings - at best a small corner of a building in the background of another image. RoyalbroilAlt 17:15, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Park acreage.

edit

There are sources that say both 480 and 600 acres for the park. However the total acreage of parcels owned by the State that are used for the park total 508.84 acres. But on the 66 acre parcel listed below, only a small portion on the south end is used by the park so the 480 acre figure is actually still a little generous. The State of Wisconsin owns a lot of acreage to the west and north of the park as part of the Kettle Moraine State Forest South Unit which has it head quarters on State Rd 59 just a couple miles northeast of OWW.
