## Resource

First, Chad and Timothy take the Appalachian Trail up a steep mountain to an area known as the Rock Maze. A tall cairn seems to appear, lights are seen, and something large crashes through the trees. Next, Timothy returns to Hex Hollow for a day full of synchronicity and strangeness, ending with what seems to be the reactivation of the long-dormant chessboard.
