from Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism by Jeffrey Toobin:
Two days earlier, on Easter Sunday, Rick Wahl, a sergeant assigned to Fort Riley, had taken his eleven-year-old son fishing at Geary Lake State Park. They cast their lines from the bank, but figured they’d do better if they rented a boat and a depth finder. Thus equipped, they returned to the lake around 9 a.m. on Tuesday, April 18. When they arrived, they noted a curious sight toward the end of the dirt road that circles the lake.
A large Ryder truck was parked next to the water. Right behind it was a GMC pickup. What was a Ryder truck doing there? With a pickup no less? Why were they so close together? It was a windy day, and the fishing was disappointing, so Wahl and his son didn’t stay long. But the sight of the vehicles was unusual enough that it stuck with Wahl.
