It was the sign hanging above the gate...a circle with the cross in center with the 4 colors of direction...as I told him I entered the open gate and left the stone after long consideration before doing so, he pointed to that symbol and said see that? He said the spirits protected the ranch is why they leave the gate open. In other words, had my intention to enter be to harm, I would not have entered...or that the way I interpreted his words.

I don't know if you ever saw the wooden cut out of the white buffalo...but when arby bought that ranch 5 or so years ago, he made that sign and hung it...4 years later a white buffalo born...
