the best way I can explain to you is the residents that sits to the far right of the property.

It's off the road a little ways.

It's a guardrail where the trail comes right up to the road just to the left of that driveway,
02:46
and that trail will take you straight back to the field where they're plotting at, where the fire's at.
02:53
But there's no entrance because of the guardrail there.
02:55
You can't give me some new merits there, can you?
