The complete set up. It's incredible. Doesn't rain much here. They had their operation hidden in a cave. I've been ready and waiting four days for our schedule. Only thing I needed was a new generator. I'm using our radio as I didn't think you could find me on the frequency they used. How with you?

I also found a cave. And, a stack of you know what! Any luck, you know what, your end?

Just more papers. I've got a new theory. Think Uncle Sam may have been involved.

Wow. Can you prove?

Think so. Need expert opinion. What think we should do?

Let me move you know what out first before contacting newspapers. We earned it! Too heavy for me to carry. Need horses. Give me four days more before making move. Contact me then, same time, same place. OK?

The weak spot seemed to be the implied suggestion that Jed needed horses to move the gold. Thinking about it, he hadn't been willing to sacrifice any horses —or even mules— to set the scene. His revised plan was to get Jenny out of the way by having her take the pack string off to a hidden meadow. This change made him worry that whoever might have listened in on the conversation would question how in the hell he had packed a generator up the mountain without any pack animals. Jed was relying on the Colonel's judgment that people who sit in offices had no idea of the difficulty involved with wilderness transportation.
