Hiking Day 4 Pics 02

More Kentucky pics, and now we are at the heart of the matter: the finding of a *”bee line”* running all the way across this ridge totaling a distance of about 35 yards or so. Below is a log split almost on this bee line, which gave me one of the first, large clues that the obviously mystical and occult line was present in the first place.

This photo represents a basically failed attempt to show this Bee Line running through the woods up to the ridge marking a western limit of Kentucky. So in a doctored up version beside it I highlight where the line is.

Just after discovering the line, I started to find bits and pieces of a broken bottle right in the path of it, and beside a prominent maple tree of the ridge. I cleared out an area of several yards around in the process…

… finding, for example, a small glass bit underneath a rock…

… and then this *gold bug* clinging to the side of another rock in sweeping away more leaves, which I instantly knew to be important. I think I had already made the link with Edgar Allen Poe’s famous detective short story “The Gold Bug” when taking this picture, since I vaguely remembered some kind of “bee’s line ” or plumb line also being mentioned in that tale.

The gold bug turned over to show off more of its defining color.

The bits of found glass shards kept piling up at the base of the maple tree as I continued to uncover them in the immediate area.

Another shot of the smaller tree in the middle of the grass clumps, the same as pictured at the beginning of this particular blog post. The shards were mainly found between it and the maple tree, which would be behind me-the-shooter here.

Yet another piece of glass uncovered, right on the Bee Line. I decided not to remove this particular shard. Despite the volume of glass found, I still think it all came from a single shattered bottle.

Another section of the Bee Line. Does that tree to the left form some kind of avatar home, complete with a front door? The thought had to cross my mind. Similar “doors in trees” exist in the immediate area as well, and perhaps one or two more quite close to the Bee Line, even. Hafta check that upon a return here.
