Subregion 4: Baron Lumber Mill

Overview

The eastern side of this region features the trout-based Wishbone Lake, where the Drubman clan have one of their residences. Surrounding the lake are mountains to the east, with especially steep slopes, and two spectacular base-jumping opportunities. Southeast is thick forest, while the main hillside to the center features a large lumber mill; this is the initial focus of your actions. Farther south is the northern shore of Silver Lake. This is also the subregion where you can recruit all three Specialists (Jess Black, Hurk Drubman Jr., and Cheeseburger).
