The group arrives in the general area of where Max indicated the portal should be. It's not, however, clear where it is.

Nothing seems particularly out of the ordinary here. Just a few storefronts, some lamp posts, a trough for horses, and a hitching post. Passersby don't know anything about it, although, as she continues to search, the hitching post seems more and more significant to her, what with its crossbar being roughly hip high off the ground...

As the group walks to Bad Max's location, Hano keeps staring at Frances. When they arrive at the area, she finally speaks up.
"Hey... Mr.... I know you said you had a good diet, but it could be dangerous to walk around with all your bones out. There could be DOGS-" she whirls around as she says the last word- "around here, and everyone knows they love to eat bones! But don't worry, I'll protect you from any dogs!"

"Does the height of this hitching post seem off to you?"  Marty asked.

"Well one way to find out, the portal's probably close by." Frances said, putting the mask on now as he started his search, seeing if he could sense anything.
