Bitch Creek
“Calhoun drove slowly, studying the old tumbledown stone wall that kept appearing and disappearing in the woods along the right-hand side of the road, and when he came to a wooden bridge spanning a brook he knew he’d gone too far.
So he turned around and headed back, and this time he spotted the break in the wall where an old tote road had once cut into the woods. He pulled to the side, got out, and looked around.
Tire tracks in the hardened mud led off the road to the opening in the wall. Someo...ne had recently turned in here. Crushed weeds showed where the vehicle had parked behind some trees, hidden from the sight of anyone passing by.
Lyle always tried to hide his truck. Lyle believed—and Calhoun agreed with him—that there was no sense spending a lifetime collecting secret trout streams and bass ponds and grouse covers and then giving them away to some passing out-of-stater by leaving your vehicle in plain sight.
Only a big old truck with four-wheel drive—such as Lyle’s Power Wagon—could have made it through the mud and over the rocky ruts to the hiding place behind the screen of pines.MoreLess
