I guess my memory banks are scrambled, so I stand corrected. The ice  machine 
spot that I read about in the San Diego Union was not the Aztec  Brewery. 
None the less, the point about the ground being frozen really deep was  
interesting and it was too bad no archaeology work was done on the site.

Ron,
After the Aztec Brewery moved from that site, the Savage Tire  Company moved
in.  They installed processing machinery that extended  12 feet in depth.
Please contact RECON for the archaeological report.
