Hello,
i am a current resident of El Portal and have been researching the history of this little city i have moved into when i stumbled onto your posts. thank you for all the information you have posted here, it has been very enlightening and it has been a pleasure to read. I ride my bike and sit on the mound often. The mound is still there, and it has a plaque pronouncing it a historical site. there is no sign of a cave or a gate as far as i can tell but next time i stop by the mound i will pay a little more attention to see if anything stands out in the areas you and your posters have discussed.
thanks again for all the great info,
regards ibisbird13@hotmail.com
