It had writing and drawings about a girl who went missing in Granite Falls. His older brother, Bucky, had written about this when he was a child and Christian was only a toddler.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Christian read about the Granite Falls hermit. It was an old woman who would steal from campgrounds and lodges when no one was around. Nothing harmful came from it. People would only claim they were missing stuff and others claimed they saw an old woman taking things from other places. The camp Rangers never could prove anything or locate this person. Christian wondered if it was the same woman who went missing a long time ago. He was destined to find out.<\/p>\n<p>Christian folded up the papers and stuck them back in his pocket.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"724\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/legacysims.net\/?attachment_id=724\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2-69.png?fit=792%2C411&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"792,411\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2-69\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2-69.png?fit=792%2C411&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-724\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2-69.png?resize=792%2C411&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"792\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2-69.png?w=792&amp;ssl=1 792w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2-69.png?resize=300%2C156&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2-69.png?resize=768%2C399&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2-69.png?resize=594%2C308&amp;ssl=1 594w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Christian made his way to the Granite Falls Forest National Park.
