abolition wilderness the

place called dismal false

around the world since i was real

, young another ever

6:55

since the swain

6:57

backpacking tours and voters

7:00

therapy ended up making it for it

7:02

do for a living at this point the

7:06

this happened in two thousand fifteen

7:09

at with summertime and

7:11

, the can't that

7:14

we are working out of our main base camp from

7:16

what i understand it was an old friend

7:18

in summer camp i'm not sure are

7:21

the details but it was for your chance

7:24

was for of the cabins that we use

7:26

had been kind of read on a little bit then

7:29

of course we had the earth or stables

7:33

we had wanna say like probably

7:35

fifteen or sixteen of them or

7:38

worse is a lot of them and off the

7:40

horses were actually essentially a therapy

7:42

as well the kids would

7:44

work with them for far there's air b

7:47

and in the horses are also being rehabilitated

7:49

from abuse of homes at the same time

7:59

that night you are you down by

8:01

the stables the , his

8:03

name stanley was a mini donkeys donkeys

8:06

he would start going off at night down

8:08

night are not any by

8:10

elders ever her elders donkey freaking

8:13

out but it can be kinda weird little

8:16

bit scary when

8:18

he would do that's pretty consistently

8:20

this woman usually the next day when we

8:22

would go downstairs divorces

8:26

first , they do is groom groom

8:28

when you gotta groove on their their maids

8:30

entails would be just completely

8:32

and not even if we address

8:35

in the day before the horses would be

8:37

in poor shape

8:42

that time i root in the a lot of it

8:44

that would have kids your of like look at this

8:47

like i , do this or like

8:50

okay why what's your point a boy we're the

8:52

last group here i'd i didn't do

8:54

this mom likes or name is ended it you

8:56

know like this that's

8:58

not party must stop or not a great right

9:01

now to worry about the horses mates

9:07

i don't know a whole town about forces but

9:09

i do remember growing ,

9:12

my great grandma would

9:14

talk about adnan and said that there

9:16

was that there on your farm

9:20

i guess it was because she would go out every

9:22

single day the domains and details

9:24

on the livestock were tangled up there

9:27

, like somebody had gone out and

9:29

just just haywire

9:31

on these animals can

9:34

animals be skittish and they would be jumpy

9:36

in ages were not in a good

9:38

mood at all that

9:41

was one of the few things you ever thought about was she

9:43

she said us where there's a which out here and

9:46

sewage out as you said all time from

9:50

the first time it happened down by the horse

9:53

stables iommi a definite

9:55

thought of that i remember her saying that

9:57

saying immediately

9:58

that damn which

10:00

but know like well you know the happened a couple

10:02

times whatever it's not a big

10:04

deal and , was tired

10:07

easier some like that that

10:09

without consistently it happened there i did

10:11

start to wonder little bit about

10:13

that

10:17

the heard about the will fall that read about

10:19

it i read about it initially

10:21

own a photography website

10:24

in i saw pictures of it or like

10:26

math abuse waterfall i don't want to get out there

10:28

to see this i got

10:30

windows or to a book called

10:32

land of waterfalls and

10:35

isn't by of guy named jim bob tinsley

10:38

the wrote it in eighty eight and

10:41

he wrote about frazzled any

10:43

county mainly which is why

10:46

and waterfalls as they call it there's

10:48

tons of waterfalls out there charted

10:50

uncharted there's on there's diamond have names

10:53

the only describes it as one

10:55

of the most foreboding places in the southern

10:57

appalachians

11:00

our mainly reading to get directions

11:03

doesn't know how to get out there decided

11:05

i was gonna go check it out the next day as

11:09

i drove off and apart

11:11

, at the base camp on

11:14

started nice or hi def there

11:22

oh what a final made out as

11:25

out as and mountain laurels

11:27

that are so low to the ground that they're almost over your head

11:30

the research to get through to

11:32

can own hands and knees snag goes

11:35

on for for some time did

11:37

, pop out of that out as up

11:40

a little that for us and

11:42

you're still going other a really see race

11:45

for the blind he can't see a whole lot lot

11:47

come around this around

11:50

and on your left side your

11:52

this really large

11:54

boulders i mean it's gotta be to

11:56

size houses it's a big board

11:59

so to noted that in kept

12:02

on move and and not too long

12:04

after that he founded as point

12:07

where the trail split into

12:09

two

12:12

that employ a thought he

12:14

got a map out i was not

12:16

sure which way to go hundred percent the

12:19

one around the stayed pretty flat

12:23

courting to the map would go to the dismal off

12:26

that the other trail that goes

12:29

i , it from where i was that it was when you went

12:31

straight up hill does

12:33

the one that goes to the waterfall i mean it

12:36

is really steep though

12:39

i'm a started climbs up that

12:41

way yeah probably

12:43

about halfway up

12:45

and

12:46

just don't like are being watched

12:50

i got that just that two years

12:52

your stomach zealand and

12:55

hair on the back my neck stood up and

right into i

13:02

, of turned around around

13:04

this cause this was

13:06

, from and

13:08

13:11

foot and part of a robe disappear

13:14

into the rhododendrons

13:16

19:59

in a desperate running from something

20:03

camp and slow

20:07

down sector jaime stops

20:11

didn't hear you saying they

20:13

good i was not being followed and

20:16

so i just consider my watch two

20:19

point the trail where there is this down

20:21

trees and

20:24

across a rather large come around

20:26

a corner and ,

20:28

a bobcat certain in the middle

20:30

of the trail trail

20:32

what are moving eyes were not moving not

20:35

a whisker a and

20:38

as very as very out a character

20:40

for that animal or may not

20:42

have been in the woods for long time over

20:45

fifteen years and i've

20:48

only ever seen one axel while bobcat

20:51

you want you to ever see was much less

20:53

one sentence just in the trail

20:55

look at nasa the

20:58

stop , i'm staring at this

21:01

this cat and i

21:03

notice the eyes

21:07

there weren't like had eyes the pupils

21:09

did they were flooded wasn't

21:11

the same shape i mean

21:14

they for save watch human eyes the

21:17

pupils were i mean almost

21:20

dead white white very very light blue

21:22

almost dead white

21:24

the i knew right away soon as i saw their child's

21:26

eyes as well as are right there and

21:30

i was terrified house

21:33

, this thing then it's eyes

21:36

eyes start looking at me and

21:38

i'd and ourselves that like

21:40

deep down am i being that

21:43

she could do whatever she wanted whatever me i

21:45

was at her mercy so

21:48

i started talking to her

21:50

why we're going out beautiful mountain heroes

21:52

like while will never go about your waterfall

21:55

just like just please let ago i

21:57

just let me go

21:59

in fact that our wow that was a some i

22:02

thought and no sooner had

22:04

i thought that this is bob

22:06

get turned walked , the trail

22:09

let me guess

22:16

that that detectives on the process of

22:18

a really it as when the it all tennis

22:20

court for me right there at sanjin for me

22:22

and i was like whoa whoa what on a second

22:25

it's just like like , that

22:27

was really really weird like i

22:30

think i ran into a which i

22:33

dunno that's kinda just it was very

22:35

organic in the way that it just

22:37

like my brain automatically was like yup

22:39

the i mean as far as like

22:42

that it did humbles you a lot

22:43

firstly and up in a position i was in a

22:46

mean you're you're a big bag i'd like

22:48

i've screwed up with the apostle bear in the jaw

22:51

weiss i'm not intimidated

22:53

by a lot of things but sure

22:56

enough the i hope me a lot

22:59

there's that was probably one of the

23:02

once you saw them all live ruff so what truly

23:04

help was not why not just that was

23:07

looking at this

23:10

what seemed to be like an eighty year old woman

23:13

there's no listener think she's been there for a

23:15

long time longer longer

23:17

than eighty years eighty would think would

23:19

think she's much older than that the

23:22

that's just that's where she where

23:25

he lives that are stomping grounds and it's

23:28

his way out of the way for reason

23:31

though i mean when i go out in the words like

23:33

i'm take out trash on taking care of the woods

23:36

that she saw that

23:38

then she was gonna like letting me know that

23:40

she was there like making a presence known more

23:42

nathan else and yeah

23:45

really that that's what i got out for the most part

23:48

because i saw me sick of don't have you want to oscillate

23:50

of just iraq war it

23:52

sounds crazy but it think she's

23:55

as a c stop me on that rail

23:57

to just my character see

24:00

decided for whatever reason not

24:03

says not , harm me

24:05
