Thanks, that looks about right.
About Archbold: I would be sure to arrange to visit someone there who could show you around. The trails open to the public are somewhat limited. In addition, try to go early in the morning, as the scrub can get quite hot and dry, making critters scarce. That being said, we did see a scrub jay, some nice Sphingids, and various other critters about. No pictures of these, unfortunately.
