My most concerning encounter was November 11, 1998. I was riding with DVNP ranger Dave Brenner and BLM ranger Phil Butler in Brenner's Park Service Ford Bronco. Somehow they got word that I was hired by a Chicago company to find a couple pieces of mine equipment of theirs, which disappeared along with the leasers. So Brenner contacted me, we set a date, and I went for a ride.
Anyway, back to the event. We stopped by Barker Ranch, where there was a truck and tent parked up by the porch of the house. We saw nobody at first. Dave got out and approached when a man came out of the ranch house door. Dave's hand suddenly dropped and covered his service pistol. Phil instructed me to get out of the Bronco (I was in the passenger front seat, Phil in the back seat) and stay on the far side of it by the back tire crouched down. Phil drew his gun and stayed next to me and watched intently. After a few tense minutes, Dave returned, walking more or less backward. He said that the man gave off some really bad vibes. The door was open and he could see a woman and children inside the cabin, quiet and watching. We drove over to the nearby Meyers Ranch, not long before it had burned down. Upon driving by the Barker Ranch, the truck, tent and people were gone.
