It really does. Here's what you do. Continue on the entrance path past the cemetery until you to the creek. Head down the creek headed south, for approximately... I don't know. A long time. You will fight thorns, water, and Grizzlies along the way. After you get home you will discover that most of the flesh has been removed from your legs, right through your jeans! The face in the tree faces south, so you won't see it until you get there. You know, I wonder if the 'shrine' inside is a geocache. Do any of you guys do that? I have a friend who loves it, I bet that's what it is. Anyways, it was good fun digging our way down there, and neat to find the prize inside. Although I think Ghost1 was hoping for Pecan Sandies....
