Milo pushed his hat back and rubbed his forehead with his sleeve. "I know for certain that this beaten down road wasn't here less than two weeks ago. But I'll tell ya something, I think this is where the original road was that circled Raleigh was located. The beltway, and look, there are patches of bare ground running way down the track, like a road would do."
Gary and Jerry looked at one another and nodded. "It's almost like civilization is trying to reclaim the places it has been." Gary felt the disturbed vibes in the air, and shifted in his saddle uncomfortably.
"If that fish trap thingy is around here, let's get it located and get for home, I don't care for the feeling I'm getting. Have you noticed how much warmer it is here, suddenly, like there is some sort of cold trap hanging over the retreat, that we rode out of?"
"Ahh, you're being fanciful," Wyatt scoffed, starting to roll up his sleeve against the heat of the sun.
"See," Jerry pointed out, "what ya doin that for? Are ya over warm?"
"Well, yes, I guess I am hot."
"If you gents have no objections, I believe we should make tracks for home," Milo settled his hat on firmly and turned his horse and cantered off.
"Well, I guess if we want to go, we'd better." Gary looked puzzled at the moving off Milo. "Someone lit his tail feathers afire." he observed.
"I agree that there is a funny feeling in the air, so let's go," Wyatt spoke up as his horse wanted to follow.
The unusual warmth followed them all the way back to the retreat. The icy fingered cold had vanished, leaving cool but normal feeling temperatures for North Carolina in the fall.
Mark was there to question the riders when they unsaddled, asking for their take on the sudden warmth and increasing moments of sunshine happening.
"Dad, the only thing we did was to burn the camp of the flesh eaters. Other than that, we were just riding, but we did find the beginnings of a road starting to appear. No other reasons that I can think of, except we noticed the heat right away. It must be twenty degrees warmer than when we left."
