He Walked Out of the Map - Returned with One Boot and No Memory · Scary Horror Stories

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: At 6.41 in the morning on November 19th, a motion
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: sensor camera mounted 30 yards off, a gated service road
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: captured three consecutive images of a man walking north. He
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: was upright. His pack was on. His left boot was laced.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: His right foot was bare on frozen ground. The boot
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: was not lost. It would be found three hours and
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: six minutes later, standing upright in the center of the road,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: double-knotted toe pointing north. He could not remember any of it.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: That man was Dale Phillips. He had been missing for
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: ten days. The service road where that camera caught him
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: does not appear on any hiking map. It runs parallel
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to a trail he knew well, separated from it by
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a drainage ditch and 600 feet of chain-link fence. There
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: is no legal foot access from the wilderness side. And
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: yet there he was, calm and directed, walking toward something
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the camera could not see. What happened to Dale Phillips
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: on Cossack National Forest is not a mystery in the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: usual sense. There is no crime. There is no suspect.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: There is a man who walked into the mountains on
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a Thursday afternoon and came back ten days later with
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: one boot, no memory, and a core temperature of 89 degrees.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: The question that stays open, the one that search and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: rescue leader Judith Walker still carries, is not whether he survived.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: He did. The question is where he was and what
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the forest did to him. For eight of those ten days,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Dale Phillips was 44 years old and worked as a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: civil engineer in Renfield. The job suited him. He was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: precise by nature, the kind of person who measured twice
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and documented everything. He had been divorced for three years,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: shared custody of his 16-year-old daughter, Maya, and by all accounts,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: had built a stable, deliberate life after the marriage ended.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: His co-worker, Pam Okafor, described a habit that tells you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: something essential about him. Every morning, Dale walked from his
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: home to the pedestrian bridge over the Renfield River, stood
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: at the railing for about three minutes, and walked back.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: He did this every day. Not most days. Every day.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: More than 800 consecutive mornings, by Okafor's estimate. No music.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: No phone. Just the bridge. And the water below it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: That kind of ritual is not restlessness. It is the opposite.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It is a man who found one thing that steadied him,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and returned to it. without question. He was also an
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: experienced solo hiker. That matters because the Forest Service terrain
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: around Cosson is not recreational territory for casual walkers. The
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Hendrick Trailhead sits at roughly 4,200 feet. The routes north
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: climb fast. The weather in November is unpredictable at elevation
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and the Tabor Ridge spine, where Phillips planned to camp,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: reaches 6,200 feet along a narrow path with a 300-foot
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: talus drop on the west side. He had the gear
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for A three-season tent, a sleeping bag rated to 20
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: degrees Fahrenheit, and a pack loaded with four to five
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: days of supplies. On November 7th, he began a leave
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: from work. On the afternoon of November 8th, at 2.17 p.m.,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: he signed the Hendrick Trailhead Register. The following morning, he
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: texted his daughter Maya. The message was brief. Good. First day.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: That was the last contact anyone had with Dale Phillips
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: for ten days. Maya was 16. She was the last
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: person her father reached out to before the forest swallowed him.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That detail is worth sitting with, not for drama, but
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: because it locates him. Exactly. He was a father checking in.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: He was present enough to send that text. Whatever happened
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to him began some time after that message was sent
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: on a morning when the temperature above 5,000 feet had
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: already started to drop toward freezing, the morning of November 10th.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Dale Phillips made a wrong turn, not a dramatic one,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: not a cliff edge or a washed-out trail. He crested
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Tabor Ridge at roughly 6,200 feet, became disoriented in the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: early cold, and followed the wrong drainage south instead of north,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a navigational error the kind experienced hikers make and usually
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: correct within an hour. He did not correct it. What
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: happened in the hours after that wrong turn would take
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: 10 days, two search operations, and a wildlife biologist's trail camera.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to begin to piece together. And even then, what the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: camera showed raised more questions than it answered. The search
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: began on November 11th. A county patrol officer named Dennis
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Cho noted Philip's Subaru at the Hendrick Trailhead that morning.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: The car had been there long enough. Search and rescue
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was activated around 11 a.m., led by Judith Walker. Dog
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: teams moved out that same afternoon. By November 12th, the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: dogs had tracked a scent northeast from the trailhead, climbing
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: through mixed timber toward the granite shelf at roughly 1,500
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: feet of elevation gain. Then the scent stopped, not faded, stopped.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: The granite shelf gave the dogs nothing to follow, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the teams returned empty. A second team reached the campsite
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: on November 13th. It sat at approximately 5,800 feet, sheltered
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: from the prevailing wind by a rock outcrop. There was
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a fire ring, tent stakes pressed into the soil. an
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: energy bar wrapper consistent with the brand Phillips typically carried.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: He had been there. He had made camp, built a fire,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: eaten something. The sight showed the signs of a man
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: who knew what he was doing. And then the signs stopped.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Helicopter crews ran grid patterns on November 14th and 15th.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Thermal imaging. Visual sweeps. Nothing. The terrain is broken at
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that elevation. Narrow drainages, talus fields, dense fir stands that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: swallow heat signatures. On November 17th, Walker suspended the search.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Phillips was listed missing, presumed dead. Here is the detail
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that stayed with Walker long after the case closed. The
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: dogs lost his scent on a granite shelf. Granite is
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a poor carrier. Scent dissipates fast on bare rock, especially
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: with wind. That much is standard. But the shelf sat
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: in a specific location, directly below the Tabor Ridge spine,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: at a point where a hiker moving south down the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: wrong drainage would cross it. Phillips had been there, The
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: dogs confirmed it. What they could not confirm was which
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: direction he went after. What the physical record does suggest
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: is this. At some point after leaving the campsite, Phillips
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: descended from the ridge zone into a lower watershed, not
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the Milo Creek drainage to the northwest, which leads back
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: toward the trailhead and the road. The south-facing watershed instead,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the one that drains toward the service road corridor, a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: paved maintenance lane that runs parallel to, but well below,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the hiking terrain. The service road does not appear on
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: hiking maps. It is separated from the upper trails by
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a slope, a drainage ditch, and approximately 600 feet of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: chain-link fencing. It is not a place a hiker would
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: plan to go. On November 19th, at 6.41 in the morning,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Aaron Price's trail camera took a photograph. Price was a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: wildlife biologist. He had mounted a motion-activated camera at a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: seep about 30 yards off the service road aimed at
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a muddy patch where deer and elk came to drink.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: He checked it every two weeks. On November 19th, he
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: happened to check it early. The camera had captured 43
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: images since his last visit. 40 images of deer, a coyote,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and one black bear. Then three images, taken between 6.41
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and 6.43 in the morning, of Dale Phillips. Phillips was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: walking north on the service road. His pack was on.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: His posture was upright. In the frost that covered the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: road's surface, his tracks were visible. Left boot, bare right foot.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Left boot, bare right foot. Moving at a steady pace.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Not stumbling. Not crawling. Walking. His right boot, size 11
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to 12. Vask, double-nodded. was found three hours and six
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: minutes later by a utility worker named Terry Sullivan. Sullivan
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: was driving the service road at 9.47 in the morning
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: when he saw it standing in the center of the lane.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Hoop right, toe pointing north. The interior was dry. There
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: was no blood, no damage beyond ordinary trail wear. A
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: single bare right footprint in the dust beside it, pressed
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: into the soil as though the foot had rested there.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: One last time before moving on, the boot was double knotted.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Someone had taken deliberate time to tie it that way,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and then, at some point, removed it and set it
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: down facing north. Walker arrived at the equipment yard by mid-morning.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: The search team spread out from the boot's location and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: moved north. At 9.47 a.m., paramedic Rosa Vega reached a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: figure sitting against the chain-link fence at the north corner
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of the county utility equipment yard. It was Dale Phillips.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: His core temperature was 89 degrees Fahrenheit. He was conscious,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: minimally responsive. The toes of his right foot showed mild frostbite.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He had been sitting against that fence, or had arrived
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: there sometime before 9.47. In the same direction the boot's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: toe was pointing, north. He did not know how he
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: had gotten there. When Dr. Kawhong interviewed him at Renfield
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Regional Medical Center, where Phillips spent six days recovering, Phillips
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: said his last memory before the paramedics was the sound
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of a river, not a visual memory, not a landmark,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a sound, the sound of water moving. There is no
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: river within two miles of where he was found. Walker,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: reviewing the trail camera images after the rescue, noted something
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: she later mentioned informally, but never included in the December report.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: In the photographs, Phillips's expression was directed, not blank, not
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the unfocused gaze she had seen in other hypothermic subjects.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: He appeared to be looking at something ahead of him
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: on the road. She did not specify what she thought
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: it was. She kept the three images in a private folder.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Picture the service road at 6.40 in the morning on
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: November 19th, frost. on the pavement. No tire tracks. No
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: footprints from the night before. The seep 30 yards off
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the road is still. Then something triggers Price's camera. Motion. Warmth. Presence.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Dale Phillips walks into frame. Moving north. Boot on his
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: left foot. Bare skin on his right. pack riding evenly
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: across both shoulders. The first question the images raise is geographic.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: How did Phillips cross from the upper ridge terrain into
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the service road corridor? Between the hiking watershed and that
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: paved lane sit a drainage ditch, a steep slope, and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: 600 feet of chain-link fence. The fence has no marked
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: gates in the section south of the equipment yard. To
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: reach the service road from the ridge, a person would
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: need to either follow the drainage all the way around
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the fence terminus or climb it. hypothermic. In the dark,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in November, the simplest version runs like this. After leaving
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the campsite, Phillips descended south rather than north. The wrong drainage. Again,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a second one, deeper into the watershed. Over ten days,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: he found the rock alcove that Walker's team located on
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: November 20th, a south-facing hollow about a mile into the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Service Road watershed, showing dried grass and debris consistent with
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: extended occupation. He sheltered there, His sleeping bag was rated
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to 20 degrees. He had supplies. The alcove's southern exposure
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: would have caught what little son reached that elevation in November.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: He survived there, and at some point before dawn on
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the 19th, he got up and walked north. But here
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: is the thing that does not resolve cleanly. Phillips could
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: not account for eight of the ten days he was missing. Dr.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Huang was clear. Prolonged mild to moderate hypothermia. with occasional
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: warmer periods, produces memory loss below the threshold of reliable formation.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: That is the medical record. It explains the gap. What
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: it does not explain is the boot, a man in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: genuine hypothermic confusion. The state known as paradoxical and dressing,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: where the body's failing thermal regulation creates a false sensation
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: of heat, will remove clothing, sometimes in stages. The behavior
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: is documented, involuntary, and typically chaotic. What it does not
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: produce is a boot placed upright in the center of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: a road toe, pointing north, double-knotted as though ready for
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: someone else to put on. Walker accepted paradoxical undressing as
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the working explanation. Huang called the careful placement consistent with
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: an altered neurological state. Mechanical care, he said. The hands
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: performing a learned action without the conscious mind directing it.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: That framing holds. It is medically defensible. but it requires
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: believing that a man in neurological crisis performed a precise
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: oriented act, facing the boot north, the direction he was walking,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the direction of the fence, the equipment yard, the place
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: where he would be found, and then continued in that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: direction for three hours and six minutes before stopping. Now
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: consider what Walker noted privately, what she kept in a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: folder separate from any official document. In three consecutive frames,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Phillips' face is not blank, it is oriented. He appears
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to be looking at something, not at the camera, at
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: something on the road ahead of him and the direction
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: he is walking. There was nothing on the road. The
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: search team confirmed it, which brings the physical evidence to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: one precise, unresolved point. Phillips heard a river that did
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: not exist. He walked towards something the camera could not see.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: He placed a boot like a marker, and he survived
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: 10 days in terrain and conditions that by the case
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: file's own assessment, he should not have survived without knowing
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: where he was going. Walker's December report lists the case
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: as closed. Subject found alive. The three images are in
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a private folder. Unlabeled. Attached to nothing. The boot is
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: in an evidence locker in Renfield. Double. Knotted. Toe pointing north.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Rosa Vega found him at 9.47 in the morning, sitting
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: against the chain-link fence at the north corner of the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: County Utility Authority equipment yard. Not collapsed. Not crawling. Sitting,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: as though he had arrived at a destination and simply stopped.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: His core temperature was 89 degrees Fahrenheit, conscious, minimally responsive,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: milled frostbite on the toes of his right foot, the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: bare one-to-one he had been walking on since at least 6.41
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that morning, three hours and six minutes in sub-freezing air.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: She stabilized him on site and called for transport, six
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: days in Renfield Regional Medical Center. Mai arrived within four
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: hours of the rescue. Dr. Huang's assessment confirmed prolonged mild
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to moderate hypothermia, with brief warmer intervals consistent with 10
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: days in terrain that dropped below freezing at night and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: recovered only partially by day. The rock alcove found the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: following morning, south-facing, one mile into the Service Road watershed,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: packed with dried grass and debris indicating extended occupation, provided
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the probable answer for how he survived the nights. A
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: man who could not consciously account for eight days, had
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: still in practice, found shelter, maintained fire discipline when he
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: had materials, and kept moving when he needed to. What
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: he could not explain was the river. Huang interviewed him
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: during recovery. Phillips' last memory before the paramedics was the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: sound of running water. Not a visual of water, not
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the sensation of being near water. A sound, specific and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: clear enough that he could describe it, Water moving over rock,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: not still water. The nearest river to the equipment yard
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: fence is more than two miles from where he was sitting.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: No creek, no drainage channel, no water feature of any
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: kind exists within that radius. Huang filed it as consistent
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: with auditory hallucination under prolonged hypothermia. The brain, starved of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: glucose and warmth, generating the most familiar comfort signal it
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: could construct for a man whose daily ritual for more
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: than 800 consecutive mornings had been to stand on a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: bridge over a river and listen to water. That particular
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: hallucination makes a precise kind of sense. Walker's December report
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: closed the case. Subject found alive. Cause of disorientation. Hypothermia-impaired cognition.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Compounding an initial navigation error on Tabor Ridge. Boot removal.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Paradoxical undressing. Memory loss. Below threshold for reliable formation per
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: attending physician. Alcove. Opportunistic shelter. survival consistent with subject experience
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: level and equipment. Every finding in the report is medically
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and procedurally defensible. The three trail camera images remain in
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: a private folder, unlabeled, attached to nothing. There is a
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: detail in this case that the official record does not resolve,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and the record does not pretend to resolve it. Walker
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: told colleagues privately, according to accounts gathered after the closure,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that what stayed with her was not the boot placement
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: or the memory gap, or even the auditory hallucination. What
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: stayed with her was Phillips' expression in the camera frames,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: not blank, not the dissociated thousand-yard stare that hypothermia produces
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in documentation she had seen before, oriented. His face pointed
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: at something on the road ahead of him, in the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: direction of the fence, in the direction of the equipment yard,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: in the direction of where he would stop. The team
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: confirmed the road was empty, The medical explanation is complete
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and honest. A man in altered neurological state, moving on
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: preserved motor memory, his face oriented along the direction of travel,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the way any upright body orients itself. The explanation requires
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: nothing supernatural. It requires only that the brain, stripped of
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: its higher functions, still knows how to walk towards something.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: What it cannot specify is what that something was. Dale
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Phillips went back to Renfield. He returned to shared custody
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of Maya. His co-worker, Pam Okafor, later noted, without drama,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that he still walks to the pedestrian bridge over the
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: river each morning. Still stands there for approximately three minutes.

• 18:09
  Speaker 1: wondering about the days he cannot account for. He said

  Speaker 1: that what he thinks about is the sound of the river,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: how real it was, how it felt like home. The
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: boot is in an evidence locker in Renfield. Double knotted.

  Speaker 1: Toe pointing north. No one has claimed it. No one
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: has formally documented why it was placed the way it
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: was placed. The case is closed, and the question lives
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: inside the closure. The way some questions do. Not solved.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Not abandoned. Simply held. Dale Phillips walked out of Cassin
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: National Forest. The forest keeps the rest. This show is
