I'm glad we're going to look for the postulated Camp Zero, and I am as always hopeful that Amelia's watch or Fred's Arrow pen will be found right out in the open, but ... we have to remember that the west side of the island, where Camp Zero would most likely have been located, is also the direction that the powerful storms come slamming into the island from, and on a relatively regular basis.
Previous Niku expeditions have found evidence of ocean overwash hundreds of feet back into the brush, and much of the original village area has been either rearranged or basically cleaned off of light surface deposits. The former landing channel marker, a fairly substantial construction, has been completely removed.
But - we might get lucky. I'm more than willing to settle for that.
LTM,
