Whitehead X-ing 03

A fence post near the top of the ridge pictured at the bottom of the Whitehead X-ing 02 blog entry. Some fragments of barb wire are still attached, marking its past function.

I believe I’ll just go ahead and call this water flow Little Whitehead until I come up with a better name. This would be the stream that empties into Whitehead Brook at the tip of the ridge with the fence post above. I suppose I could scan recent blog posts to see if I can spot a better and more symbolic name. Ram Brook? (probably not)

Anyway, below we have a quite interesting log bridge across this flow.

Just downstream — still on Little Whitehead, comes this passageway through mossy rocks. This Baker Blinker Blog post from several years ago shows another type of bridge (branch) spanning these rocks. More evidence of the wee people in the area, perhaps akin to those who live on Mohegan Island, Maine? (given the other Maine resonances in the Whitehead area)

Detail of rock from this same ridge. A secret star map?

A quite iridescent rock in the Whitehead Brook flow nearby. Not sure what the involved mineral is, but it gives the appearance of an oil film.

And — perhaps again strangely — just upstream in Whitehead Brook from this rock appears an iridescent *piece of glass*, perhaps originally part of a lamp. I’ll study this matter further. I’ll probably go back to Whitehead Crossing even today; the weather is suppose to be perfect almost all week (!)

Then just a bit upstream from that, even, we have what I’ll call Remorse Rock.

Interesting log nearby.

A look across a line of mossy logs into Rock’s Meadow, with Rock’s grave and also The Arena (alternately, The Lycaeum).

Rock’s Meadow itself: grave foreground left, The Arena background left, and “Rock’s rocks” background right. Soon this will be filled with green grass. Nice!
