I wouldn't take the 200 yard 'reference' to be Gods gospel spot on. It is only an estimate isn't it? Journalists don't normally carry 100 ft long steel measuring tapes. Hacks aren't noted for absolute accuracy at the best of times

You can see by the very small snow recreated area you wouldn't have a clue where that was on the lane. How can you get your bearings with a few trees in shot? Actual location accuracy can't be shown here, you wouldn't be able to see up, or down the lane on film. Just trees in front, that could be anywhere.
It appears to be a 200 yard estimate between the sign across the street from the quarry that says 125 yds, and the sign next to the re-enactment scene that says 300 yds. That's about a 200 yds "up the road". I know that we discussed 200 yards up the road a while back ... and 200 yards is a little bit too precise to be random.
I think the signs have been upgraded since the google earth image.
I think that even an inch of snow could cover a body. Snow isn't 2 inches at the lowest spot and non-existent 6 inches above the ground ... 2 inches of snow covers everything evenly, even bodies. Very little wind is needed to blow the snow into slopes and mounds so that everything has an even cover of snow.
There are only two bearing points with a lamp pole near the quarry entrance, one south and one north. They both have a tall grove of trees followed by bushes. The difference is the signage to the "Give Way" ... 125 and 300 yards. It's also possible that the re-enactment was in the wrong place ... although that would almost defeat the purpose.
