After about an hour of this, something changed.
The sounds started coming from ahead of us.
I know how that sounds, I know.
But I'm telling you exactly what happened.
We were moving south on the ridge, and the sounds had been behind us the whole time.
And then, all at once, they were in front of us.
Not on both sides.
In front.
Cole stopped, held up his fist.
I stopped.
We stood there for maybe a full minute, listening.
Ahead of us, down the trail, something moved through the brush, slow, heavy, pushing branches aside.
I could hear the creak of the wood bending and the rustle of the needles falling.
Whatever it was, it wasn't trying to hide.
It was walking.
It was about sixty yards ahead of us and moving across the trail from our left to our right.
Not toward us.
Across.
Then it stopped.
We stood there for probably five minutes.
