*Last to pick up

After the other two teams' relatively easy recoveries, team Zeus moved onward to pick up their payload. When they approached the area where it had landed, they found themselves at a very ominous gate, locked and rife with ominous signs, a tire, and bullet holes. We debated trespassing, then decided to go for it, but a man pulled up in a truck.

*Gate was locked (including ominous signs, a tire, and bullet holes), debated trespassing

*Talked to a neighbor who knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who had the key

Caught in the act of almost trespassing, they talked to a neighbor who knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a guy who had the key to the property. Keeping with the tested strategy of only approaching strangers with one caucasian male and one caucasian female, Kirill and Ella talked to the first guy, who directed the team to the next one. The second guy was really sketchy: he wouldn't come out from behind screen door. He directed the team to the next guy down the road. In the midst of a llama and goat farm, they met the final guy, Pat Arius. He knew the guy with the key, but he was 200 miles away so he gave them permission to trespass.

The group split and only Theo's and Kirill's cars stayed behind at the gate. The recovery team included: Kirill, David, Celeste, Paulina, Ella, Marco, Hannah, Ryan, Jesus, Paige, and Phillip. At this point as they hopped the gate, the sun was very close to setting, so they jogged.

The dirt road continued for about half a mile, then came to a pasture and a gate and hopped that too. After a mile, the faint trail through the weeds ended, and the team walked through the weeds to a barbed wire fence with cows on the other side. They avoided the cows by going up and over a hill, then found the trail on the other side, which lead to the payload about a mile down the path.
