The Spider remains, but is vertical.

From one account, it appears there is an approach from the road below up some steep and overgrown terrain. On the other hand the Spider Pool itself is supposedly within 50 feet of one of the neighboring houses. So any visit would require some stealth and possibly multiple trespass violations.

My next goal is to see if I can view any of the spider wall from public locations. Apparently a portion is visible from above the reservoir, but it seems I require a clearer day to spot that.

I'm also continuing the research to see if I can turn up any other first hand accounts as to how the property is accessed to minimize my legal exposure.
