Marshrutchik & Lara
Marshrutchik
Hey Lara, you ever noticed that stretch of highway where the old billboard says “Ghost Hill” and it looks like a shortcut if you cut across the field? I’ve heard there’s a whole legend about a hidden cave up there. What’s the most mysterious place you’ve stumbled across on your adventures?
Lara
Yeah, Ghost Hill’s a sweet lure. The most mysterious spot I hit was an old quarry up on the ridge of Mount Sable. Half the walls were carved with symbols that didn’t match any language I knew, and there was a whole underground tunnel system that led to a cavern where the floor was covered in strange, glowing crystals. I spent a whole night mapping it out—felt like I’d stumbled onto a forgotten story that’s been waiting to be told. It was exactly the kind of hidden place that keeps my pulse racing.
Marshrutchik
Wow, that sounds like a real treasure hunt! I’ve driven past Mount Sable a few times but never thought about an underground cave. Those glowing crystals—can you imagine a shortcut that leads you straight into a hidden glittering tunnel? If you ever need a GPS map or a buddy to explore the surface while you map the inside, just give me a shout. I’ll make sure we hit the best route to the ridge and keep the radio on so we can trade stories. How do you keep track of all those symbols? I’d love a cheat sheet—maybe we can turn that into a new shortcut map for the locals!
Lara
Hey, that’s a solid offer—just keep the radio on and I’ll bring the map, the compass, and a notebook for the symbols. I usually jot every mark down in a waterproof sketchbook, then digitize it on my tablet after we’re done. That way I can cross‑reference the patterns and figure out if any of them line up with known scripts or are just local shorthand. If we get a full picture of the tunnel’s layout, we’ll have a real shortcut for the locals. So, let’s lock the route, hit Mount Sable, and see what that glittering cave has in store.
