The Angel Pine Sawmill is a lumber facility in southern Whetstone county. It is the largest logging facility in the state. The site is located on the south-eastern edge of town and features a large, two storey central building and a number of connected workshops. The mill is capable of on-site processing of logs which are then assumably shipped via truck to another location for further refinement.
Several vehicles can be seen at the location including a Roadtrain, a DFT-30 and a Walton. Occasionally these vehicles will be absent and a Glendale Ghost Car will spawn here. No workers seem to ever appear at the mill and the site comes across as abandoned, although this is clearly not the case owing to the freshly processed lumber throughout the site and the presence of vehicles. Regardless, the mill's absence of people gives it an undeniably eerie atmosphere.
Sightings[]
This sawmill is a stones throw from Shady Creeks and has been the location of several alleged sightings and investigations of phenomena. Several players have reported hearing Chainsaw noises in the vicinity of the mill, while others claim to have spotted Bigfoot and report violent encounters with Leatherface. Additionally, sightings of the Woods Creature are also common at this location. However, no credible evidence has been produced of these encounters. It is most likely the absence of workers and resulting uncanny nature of the sawmill has led many players to jump to conclusions.
Lure[]
During the mission Lure, CJ drives a decoy Rancher out into the countryside to the sawmill in an attempt to fool the Da Nang Boys into believing Ran Fa Li is being moved from Wu Zi Mu's apartment in Chinatown. Upon arriving at the sawmill, Da Nang Boys appear on Sanchez motorcycles and give chase to the Rancher. The pursuit continues down the dirt road leading away from the sawmill, through Flint County into Back O' Beyond before concluding at the Gas Station on the highway that bypasses Angel Pine. This is the only mission in the game to prominently feature the sawmill. The mill can also be seen during the cutscene following the completion of the mission The Green Sabre, appearing briefly in the background.
