Description: 

The beginning of the ridge is invisible from within the woods. The narrator discerns that they have reached the edge of the ridge when he notices that "the earth had risen slightly because the undergrowth had thinned a little and the ground which you could not see slanted, sloping away toward a dense brake of cane" (208). The narrator also comments that where the ridge begins there is "a clump of switchlike bushes against the trunk of a pin oak" (208). The path along the ridge is intersected at intervals by deer crossings.
