I continued along the path mentioned in the preceding post thinking it might take me closer to shack I’d seen. It wound around a bit more, ran alongside a nearby park and then to my surprise turned off into the woods and curved around towards the shack. Then I saw this building looming above me – certainly not a shack. In fact, I knew immediately what it was. It was the mansion associated with the gates I’d already posted about only recently (See: Lions at the Gate). I also realized that even though I had seen no signs I was probably on private property and that I should leave as soon a possible. I had two alternatives: to go back the way I had come; continue along the path to see where it would come out (I was pretty sure I knew where that would be). I chose the latter.
