Thanks for the confirmation! I like doing detective work like that! I remember one guy posted a photo (on another site) one time of a street scene he shot in a nearby town, and I was able to tell him the name of the town he was in at the time, the intersection where he shot the photo, and even the time of day he was there. I think I was only 30 minutes off from the exact time (based on the length of the shadows from the sun). It was fun doing that! I'm a nerd! LOL!

This former site is no longer marked in Google Maps, but it is marked in BING maps:

There is one largish building, which I suspect was the restaurant at one time. The old barn may have been next to the creek, or perhaps it was near that house that's behind the largish building?

Hey, thanks for fixing the link, I tried it earlier and it didn't work but just came back to it and it did, I think you are correct on the larger building being the old restaurant, from street view and looking back behind the building and to the right of it I could see a good size barrel that appeared to be a smoker. Plus with what the other guy told me , about it being a tin building and not a red barn ,it all seems to fit now. Plus there was a bunch of cooking wood ready to be cut uo at the front of the building.
Good job.

Yes, the link was problematic at first! I saw the wood in front, too, and wondered about that. The place looks to be in a bit of disrepair as well. Didn't look at the new location in "Street View," but hope it looks better than the old place! So, will this be one of your reviews some day?

It is quite possible,
