I think that is an interesting point about the visitors.  I also noticed that in
the movie, but had just assumed that it had been traffic from the Deer Meadow cops
(although with the Deputy living in the trailer park, you would think that they
wouldn't have had to mess with the park manager much).

THEORY COMMENTS: The ring was found under the Chalfonts/Tremonds trailer, not the 
Deputy's. What vision did the ice-pack woman give to Desmond?  I did not see any
indication that Desmond was having a vision.

On the *OTHER* hand, something that really interested me, was the park manager's 
(Harry Dean Stanton's) reaction to the ice-pack woman.  He was joking with Desmond
and Stanley about the coffee (bad, by the way (TP inverse again)), generally in a 
good mood.  Then the ice-pack woman made her appearance.  Desmond just seemed
curious about her.  Stanton, however, looked like he had been shot.  The moment
he saw her, he just looked like everything drained right out of him.  She left.
Stanton continued to look shocked/terrified.  Desmond and Stanley were now staring
at HIM, wondering what in the hell was going on.  As Stanton, tried to snap out of
it, he started looking like he was going to cry.  And what were the first things
he said?

"I've already been places.  I just want to stay right here, now" {close enough}

I interpret that to mean that Stanton also has had some kind of contact with the
lodge. The Chalfonts' didn't seem to mean anything special to him, but he freaked
out over the ice-pack woman.

What does everyone else make of this?
