Less than thirty minutes prior, the scouts had returned from the cut. They reported seeing three large trucks and at least twenty men moving up the road. The trucks were now stopped at the entrance to the long driveway. Dan jogged down the trail, and then slowed to a walk. He pointed a hand to a tall embankment that overlooked the driveway. The scouts nodded, ran to the position, and dropped into the prone behind it. Dan continued with Joe trailing close behind him. At the end of the driveway was a tall, steel-tube cattle gate. However, off to far left and concealed in high grass and brush, was an earthen bunker. On an opposite angle to the embankment was where Joe positioned the scouts. The bunker was positioned so that it would flank anyone who approached the gates. If anything happened, the opposing teams would be able to lay a deadly crossfire over the head of the driveway. Like two overlapping funnels, the bunker and embankment held strategic ground over the approach; anyone coming up the driveway would have their eyes on the gate, while men on the flanks took aim.
