28/ For years, we talked about how weird the experience had been for us—not only the area itself but the fact that we’d felt so spooked that we didn’t want to approach it. It wasn’t a normal reaction. Our friends all still think this is very silly and we were just high.

29/ But we knew better. We’ve done lots of stupid and dangerous things while high. We’ve been in creepy places. My friends are not the types to just not walk 40 feet down a path to look at something because they get chills. We wondered a lot what the deal had been.

30/ A few years later, my friend Z returned without us to the very same island and camped there. He decided he was going to put this whole thing to rest and just go see what it was so we could stop being spooked by our stupid weird story.

31/ But when he made his way to the back of the island, he couldn’t find it. Not a trace. No rock, no path, nothing. It’s a tiny island. It’s very unlikely he got lost or failed to notice it. It was really obvious the first time.

32/ And a natural space in the trees doesn’t just vanish in the span of a few years any more than a four-foot tall weird rock does. He’s gone back twice now to look for it and hasn’t been able to find it.

33/ This was maybe 15 years ago now, and as satellite tech has gotten better, I’ve done my own searching, combing every inch of the island. We looked at it together last time I visited him, trying to figure out where the tree break even would have been from satellite photos.

34/ But it’s just not there. There nothing that looks remotely like what we remember seeing. No trace of the rock or the long corridor. No carefully kept short grass. We have no idea what to make of this. But it gives me chills every time I think about it.

35/ It really looked like a maintained patch of grass, but there was no landing spot and no path to the back side of the island. No one is gonna be paddling out to an island in the boundary waters for site maintenance. And no one is removing a four foot rock from the island.

36/ So that’s why I say it’s a non story. We have no idea what we saw or what would have happened if we’d approached the rock. Maybe nothing. Maybe not nothing. All I know is I personally think we were smart to listen to our intuition. The deep woods is a weird place. /fin
