We recently took a trip to the Old Fort to scout for the upcoming investigation. After spending quite a bit of time there, we noticed that there were four main areas of concern:

The steps are very steep and could pose a serious hazard in the dark. In addition, the park is large and will need to be worked in teams so that nobody gets hurt or lost.

The main road at the entrance to the park is quite busy and could easily cast shadows in through the trees.

There is a large pump house and electrical box located on the property. These could give false readings.

The railway runs directly behind the park, giving list to a host of electrical, sight and sound issues that must be kept in mind.

Now that we are aware of these issues, the investigation can be planned around them. For those who are interested, here are the pictures from the scouting expedition.
