With the three numbers deciphered, go to the locked cultist stash between the tree and rock on the hill. The note gives the clue, "Rock Rock Tree Are You Bright Enough," and this is the answer to the lock. Input 568, and the lock will open.

Inside, you can find a first aid kit, hand flare, and propane tank. There is also a note stating, "Are you one of us? Or one of them?" questioning if you are a cultist.
