Soon, up ahead, he can see the County Road 73 continues on into the hill itself through a tunnel but just before that tunnel sits an Observation Deck. He instinctively slows down the car to take in the sights. A scenic overlook where he can park the car and perhaps visit the rest rooms that sit to the right of the deck. A signpost sits by the entrance to a hiking trail that heads down from the overlook. Beyond the dip in the hill he can see sparkling Toluca Lake, where the U.F.O. sightings seem to be at their strongest. On the passenger seat sits the folder of newspaper clippings, photographs, and other details collected by a friend of his - Peter Wight - whose been as obsessed with Silent Hill as Andy is with U.F.O's.
Heck, it's even possible the so-called sightings are all bunk. Joshua was the type to lie about things like that to get his own way and he's wanted Andy to get enthused about the so-called crazy resort town for quite awhile now. Normally he never talked much about what he knew, however, and the Internet had very little but rave reviews to say on the matter so Andy hadn't looked into it. There were better places to check out that were closer to Ashfield, anyway, and weren't a half day's drive away.
But then he'd received Peter's journal in the mail, complete with a letter pleading with him not to look inside the journal until he'd arrived in Silent Hill. It helped that Andy had his final (for the year) exams that day (yesterday) and that the journal had a leather-bound wooden cover, was padlocked and wrapped quite tightly in chains. Apparently the key could be found taped inside one of the cisterns in the Women's Toilet on the Observation Deck. Peter wasn't answering his phone, so odds are, it was some sort of elaborate prank. If so, it was a good one.
The toilet block, as seen here, is to the right of the original picture. Obviously, it's not yet that foggy.
