Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder)

He would have had to work slowly to avoid detection, cutting through tree roots without killing the trees. He must have started this plan long before I came into the picture. These locations are equidistant or similarly distanced from the pack house. They're not exactly in a straight line. I think there might be a third turmel somewhere around here. But my point is, it seems Alpha Wiley started planning this
