Kristin walks back to the car after taking some shots of an old chimney beside the railroad track. The field is covered in kudzu, but for some reason the kudzu won't climb the chimney. (Many places alongside the railway are covered in kudzu, as the railway once "planted" kudzu all along the tracks to stop erosion, a decision I'm sure they now regret. Kudzu does stop erosion, but it forgets to stop growing and soon overtakes everything.)

I seem to remember this chimney being there when I was seven or eight years old, so I'm not sure how many years ago it's been since the house that once stood there burned down... or for that matter, when the house that once stood there was constructed. (Look carefully at the top of the chimney and you can see that it was once given a new top)
