It was inside a place called Corbin Park which is a private hunting 
preserve with secret members (millionaires and billionaires).  They had 
a lot of animals that aren't found in North America - European Boar, Red 
Deer, weird bears and stuff - and a lot of them escaped so when you 
drive on I-89 you might see some of them.  There have been some car 
wrecks there from hitting boar and if you shoot a boar or a red deer you 
can't keep it unless the park owners say it's OK (it's the same as 
shooting a cow - it belongs to the farmer).

It's like Old Baldy now, but really bald. Sometimes people hike up there 
to check it out but you gotta be careful because you could get arrested 
for trespassing if you're not a club member.
