cant find entrance to timberwolf mountain
where is it?? trying to get there from pleasant valley. im using the top left(ish) split in the river as an orientation point then following the river up, go under a bridge then meet a waterfaull, checks out on the map, but the river stops the and a cliff going as far north and south as i can see prevents me from travling further west :/ sorry for spamming to forums recently XD

edit: here is the map, https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/intothelongdark/images/2/2e/Pleasant_Valley_map_by_whiteberry-toarda.png/revision/latest?cb=20151231023333

1.) Go the long way around via Derelict Cabins. Takes a while, but it's a clearly marked path. Probably best the first time you try this.

2.) Go to Draft Dodger's Cabin. Be fully rested and ideally have some coffee. Behind is a two stage rope climb to Skeeter's Ridge. They are long climbs, so you should drink some coffee after the first rope. From Skeeter's Ridge it's a straight line to Point of Disagreement. Or you can go into the direction of the hunting blind, which leads you more directly to the abandoned cache.

The issue with this is that the rope climb is very tiring and you can easily be left stranded on the ledge between the ropes if you're too tired. But on top you can rest in the basement if you have a bedroll (no bed there!)

3.) From the farm house head straight towards the left side on the map (in game the orientation is different). So from the orchards, over the bridge up into the hills and then follow the zone boundary. It's a bit iffy since you pass a bear cave that way

An alternative to going directly over the bridge is to follow the river and then walk up the shore before the bridge. That avoids the wolves in the fields.

4.) The foot path towards Burned Ridge cave doesn't exist anymore (the map is old). But you can still take a similar shortcut. Get to the other side of the bridge like in 3.) and go up the road a little. Then you can go very sharp right up the steep hill and kind of follow the ridge line up. It looks like you can't go up because it's too step, but going all the way into the direction of Skeeter's Ridge you slowly get higher. Then you can climb over and around some rocks and eventually get to the cave.

You will probably get lost the first time you try this :) It's also easy to miss the route you can actually get up and try to climb the hill too early. But it's my preferred way

it was upon the 23rd hour when i reached Skeet whence my eyes rested upon another, a singular wolf. our gazes aligned, yet i hled firm. i cried in despair at my computer 'why hath thou cursed me in such a way!?' yet on my shoulder lay a weapon of deadly promise. the beast growled to my bemusement and i implored it to return to the murky blackness from whence it came or edit the way in which he accosted my being. the animal of the darkness was however unaccustomed to diplomacy, so with defeaning effectivity my screached rang true throughout the valley 'ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH DEAR FRIENDS!' and i luged my oaken rifle, numb like a broken arm, to my mantle and let fly a bullet bearing the devils signature. 'haha f@ck you c^nt' i mused as i harvested his skin.

Note that because **reasons** Hinterland recently flipped North and South on PV map. The map OP showed has North at the bottom and South at the top. My directions are based on the current (I think confused) PV coordinate system, and are therefore different from those used by OP.

no way any idea on these **reasons**
