Who owns the land
Private or unlisted land

Ruins on private land are off limits without the owner's permission, even when no fence or sign is visible. Look from the public road. Another parcel starts within a quarter mile: LOTH189, Wells-Chelan-Sagebrush Flats Wildlife Area Complex. Ruins often spread across more than one owner.
