And he was like, is there any chance that we could go back into the very back of your land? So we go back and we drive through all of our land. We have 365 acres of land. So it's quite a lot. And so we drive back through the first pasture, back through the second pasture, back through the third to, like, this area. very, very far back area where my uncle would go to hunt deer.

So we go into the forest that borders our property. So he starts immediately seeing all these weird little signs everywhere. He sees all these bent twigs that are bent at right angles and hanging. And he takes one in his hand and he looks in the direction where it is and he follows it. Then he finds an arch. like we've been talking about. And then he starts finding all this stuff.

Like he sees like this place where one tree has like kind of like fallen in an odd way. And another tree has fallen across it, like forming an X. And he says, oh, oh, here we go. We got an X. And the other guy writes it down. I'm like, what does an X mean? And he was like, we think this means like when they say not to go further than this.

But you see, you can tell they put it there because this piece of wood that's crossing this piece of wood was clearly brought here. It hasn't fallen from anywhere. It's been placed. And when we looked at it, we were like, whoa, yeah, this didn't, this wasn't a tree that fell. This did have to be moved from somewhere else. That's really weird. So we're walking and he's following all these signs.

A lot of them are like, a lot of them are these bent twigs that he keeps finding. And he's like, if we follow these, I'm sure we'll find a path. And I was like, okay. And so we're following him through the woods. And sure enough... There is a path. There's a path through the woods that he led us to in this land that he's never set foot in in his life. And we start following it.

And so he's talking to us about the path. And he says, see, you can tell it's one of their paths because the animals in this pasture, they're cows, right? They have hooves. So the ground here isn't disturbed. This path is clearly one that is traveled on by something with pads for feet. I was like, okay.

So we follow this path and we get to like the border of our property, which is this barbed wire fence. And the fence has been damaged. The strings of barbed wire have been bent, like all of the string, all of the strands of barbed wire have been bent down into U shape and a bunch of soil has been placed above it or has been placed like, like over it to where you can just walk over it.
