Okay, I'm not posting much lately, but I do read this thread. Did I miss when the Disappeared show will be aired?

I've got a confession. I've paid to join two news archives, and I've lost the links to them both. I never bookmarked them because I knew I'd remember.
Only I haven't.
If there was a smiley tearing its hair out, I'd post it now.
that contracosta times archive is absolute rubbish. They don't archive wire stories and don't even provide a link where they might be found. So they are basically saying they ran no stories on Bob in 2009 and I know that isn't true because dreamweaver READ IT!!
But I'm the most patient person in the world, so it makes no odds to me.

Opie, I have linked that post from SAR here for you. Many apologies that I cannot post the map itself at the moment - I have been having problems with my other computer and this tablet doesn't allow me to post google maps. For any guests who cannot follow the link down to the SAR thread, I'll post the info to allow you to call up the map yourselves.
Can any SAR people please move on from this post at this point, as I'm now about to attempt to make a map in words - and I wouldn't want you to injure yourselves laughing.
Google maps 7198 Gypsum Canyon Rd, CA. Have it in satellite view. Directly below the end of the road where the pin lands, two trails begin. They run parallel, and the trail on the right when you are looking at the map, is the thicker one. Follow them down. At a point roughly opposite Oak Canyon Drive, (which is over to the left in the suburb) the thicker right trail makes a pronounced hump, bigger than any of its other wriggles. It results in a biggish space between it and the other trail.
At that point, IN BETWEEN the thick trail and the thinner one, is a bunch of trees. Amongst this bunch, in a separate cluster nearest the left hand, thinner trail, towards the top of the space, are three trees bunched together. Zoom in because the white circle is right at the foot of them.

ETA: The white circle/thing at the foot of those trees is what has been taxing my poor head for weeks now.
Try this link to see the Contra Costa Times article from July 30, 2009. I googled "contra costa times robert harrod," saw the link, and selected "cached."

No idea what that white circle is on the map! Intriguing for sure.
How big is that thing? I tried to compare using the scale provided, but would love for someone with experience to declare "that's a X foot diameter circle."
And of course someone to go get a piccie of it for us!
