Hey Dustin, can you explain to me where that field might be again?

Jake,

When you come up River's Edge, before you turn right to come up the hill, there's a road that cuts off down to the left, goes down beside the hill there.
00:17
If you follow that all the way back, there's a house that's back here underneath the hill.
00:21
And I don't know how far up in there, it goes before it comes to here.
00:26
If you can't get there, you can go back out on Cosby Highway right across the street from Dark Hollow,
00:31
and there's a road that cuts back across the creek.
00:33
I just died.
00:36
You'll have to cut the gate lock.
