a couple of people have reported that the links were broken in my earlier cut-and-paste post ... they've been rebuilt [below] and hopefully all will work now

I am hoping someone can help me identify a location. The photos were found during a search warrant in Colorado [see links below]. They appear to have show individuals looting an archeological site. I am working with agents in other states trying to figure out where this is. It could be on BLM, USFS, or other lands. If anyone has a clue where this could be, please contact me.

Comment of Sarah Schlanger (acting Utah state archaeologist): "Just an educated guess, but the photos look to me like they are from Chihuahuan desert, perhaps from around the Guadalupe Mountains in southern New Mexico or the Big Bend area of Texas. Somewhere on the borderlands, at any rate, down where we've got lots of limestone, caverns, and mountains. The rock house, with its striking green windows, should be recognizable to someone."
