    Looks like a couple of hundred feet east of the east road crossing at Wolverton where there is a double row of electric fencing to keep the “beasts” in their compound. Too many scrub trees along there now.

    This is great! Arnold it is very shootable still. Now that Wolverton is a yard this is a very common spot for fans to go waiting for something working the yard to peek out before they go west.

    Before wolverton someome had to basically devide to try this angle as there was little reason to hang out here.. awesome

    I probably go here once a year on average now.
