...The road is too narrow to do a turnabout so we had to drive a bit around the field to find a place to turn around and back track. Jammie was driving and talking about how weird the 'thud' had been. I was searching the far side of the field where trees climbed a shallow hillside. The hillside was clearly visible despite the trees because there was no greenery. That's when I saw another cabin...and this one looked to be open. I pointed it out to Jammie and suggested we go back and have a 'look see'. Finally, we were able to turn around and head back toward the sawmill. We were driving fairly slow and searching the far tree line for the cabin's tin roof. Just then Jammie nearly came to a dead halt in the middle of the road. "Did you see that?" She asked.
"No," I said. "What was it?" Jammie was frantically searching the treeline...looking for something to point out to me. "I saw something bright red hanging in the trees near the cabin," she said. "You mean like a cardinal or something?" I asked. "No," she shook her head. I could tell she was a bit disturbed that she couldnt find it again. "It was bigger...about the size of a child...like a child in a bright red coat..sitting in the trees." She said. We pulled in front of the sawmill again and parked. We headed out across the field toward the cabin. I spied a small path cut through the trees and leading directly toward the cabin. "Maybe we should be walking along that path." I suggested and pointed it out. Curiously though, when I looked from the path back to the cabin...we were already at the cabin...as though we had crossed the field in seconds rather than the minutes it should taken...
