It is exceedingly difficult to get to. The road has been blocked off by the owners of the surrounding lands, and you must proceed on foot over very rough terrain, over trash and overgrown demolished cars to get to the site. According to Mr. Victor Miguel, who showed the graves to me, there may have once been more marked graves in the area, but we hunted around and could not find any other evidence of burials nearby. Three headstones remain. ===================================================================================================== Image 001_paauhaug: Stone has been broken into at least three pieces.
