The guy pointing at the fallen idol is John English, the leg coming into the photo is Kaira Geller's (I believe). More of the structures from the old Tikis are there than I had anticipated, but just pulling up there now is a surreal experience. You pull off the road, go thru the old gates, up a pot holed drive, the place is packed with pick up trucks, every where you look there are (seemingly) hundreds of men, boys walking around totally tricked out in cammo gear and paint ball guns galore, people yelling in the background with the sound of their guns going off, colored splashes of paint covering everything. It very much felt like that scene in Apocalypse Now, when the little boat finally gets to Kurtz' compound, it seemed like they all turned to look at us as we pulled in. Over the fence you can see some old O-A molding on a building, I have a few pictures somewhere but they are not of any great quality as I did all my photography from the car.
