Just tried, they downloaded with the correct .kmz extension and opened right up in Google Earth when I double-clicked the downloaded files. I was using Safari on my Mac. What happened when you downloaded them?

In the Finder preferences, I have "show all filename extensions" checked. Maybe that's the difference? Have seen problems with this confusing people before, because it doesn't show the .kmz part. So they add it manually and end up with a filename like bear_swamp_hill_1970.kmz.kmz.
Oh, also remembering an old bug with using .kmz files on a Garmin GPS, don't know if it was ever fixed. Those filenames may not work, I don't think the GPS would recognize the underscore character. I think you could only use numbers and letters. If you can't get them to work on the gps, try changing the names to something simple like bearswamp1970.kmz, with only letters and numbers.
But that was only an issue for using the files on a Garmin GPS, they should work fine in Google Earth and Basecamp without any change.

That's weird, I could not get that to happen no matter what I did! That looks like the name the forum software uses internally. If I "mouse over" the attachment in my forum post, the gray box gets larger (see the one on the left below). If I click that, the file downloads with the correct name.
Maybe try clearing your browser cache? The Xenforo software was not configured to allow uploading .kmz files, so I changed that in the preferences before I made my post. I wonder if it didn't download properly because the site is cached on your computer and it doesn't recognize the change I just made to the Xenforo settings?

All,
We visited Bear Swamp Hill early this morning. There is no evidence of anything being there from our discussions above. There is a location that is semi flat where whatever it was most likely was at. I searched the area around it and it is not flat enough except for this location. And my GPS told me I was correct.
Sun just peeking through.
A quick "Then And Now."
Later, at a different location we came upon our second find where there is an experimental growing site for Morning Glory. And just like the other site it isn't working out. And like the other site we ignored the sign.
More in the distance.
