Narrative and photographs

We made a half-hearted attempt at this mark, to be honest. We were cold and getting hungry, and we had two more on our list for the day. Our research had indicated no visible concrete retaining wall in the vicinity, and we didn’t see anything obvious when driving by. On a nicer day, I would like to search more thoroughly just in case there is some remaining sign of the wall, or if by chance one of the residents might know something about it.
