Not…

… much time tonight, Hucka D. I took Liquor out in the woods today and created some photos. Not very good ones, but still I’m out in the wood.

Hucka D.:

Maybe you should just talk to the reader tonight.

bb:

Okay, we can try that.

Well, today was a pretty decent hiking day for a change. The past two days, actually, I’ve been able to re-visit Lion’s Roar for the first time in probably 1/2 a year or so. Not much has changed there, which is exactly what I’d expect, given that it’s tucked away in the deep woods with probably no visitors except for me. Pots still there; bottles still there. I could reset up Lion’s Roar in a short time. However, the place is wetter than I remember — I don’t think that’s really a change per se, but just something to do with the seasons. I set up Lion’s Roar in the fall, and under dryer conditions when the leaves are off the trees and direct sunlight hits the place with greater frequency. But the bigger news today is finding a small but flat platform area a little above Lion’s Roar on the ridge directly west of it. A place for a tent or even small structure if I wished. This is the same ridge that Kentucky, a much larger (if not necessarily flatter) platform area, is situated upon further up. I also re-visted Kentucky both yesterday and today, and was able to eyeball the Bee Line again from various angles. It still seems to be a legitimate phenomenon.

Is it time to give up my virtual reality town? Not sure. I have about 2 weeks to decide whether to renew September’s tier. If I desert VWX Town, I most likely will not be able to recreate something that extensive in Second Life. What I’ll do if this happens is keep the Lama rental property that the Power Tower Gowlery exists upon, as well as Gallery Jack containing earlier collages. And just delete the rest.

Hucka D.:

You better call a town meeting before you pull the plug. What about The Table?

bb:

The Table in VWX Town is not the *real* Table. Thanks for showing back up again.

Hucka D.:

You’re welcome. Think long and hard about giving up VWX Town.

bb:

Herman and Frank Parks are opening up again. That has to be the focus now. The focus for this blog through me.

Hucka D.:

True (pause).

bb:

So back to the review — Hucka you can hang out still if you wish: Today I also went to Bill Mountain and hiked past the infamous Rust Spot. The road was wet, wet, wet — almost impassable up to the place. I wondered even if the aliens made it this way so they could have more privacy on their mountain.

Hucka D.:

Yes, that is what happened. You shouldn’t or don’t need to go up there for a while. You have the other side of the road.

bb:

That’s right. Today I also walked down TILE Road in Herman Park, which was fun. That was *early*. And then I’ve also visited Whitehead Crossing itself a couple of times in the last week, and plan to go back tomorrow, perhaps early once more.

Hucka D.:

Do that. So where are you going to set up the train tracks the next time?

bb:

Whitehead Crossing?

Hucka D.:

You’re asking me?

bb:

Um… maybe.

Hucka D.:

If you’re finally getting back to Frank and Herman Park mythology…

bb:

Uh oh.

Gone.

I forgot to talk about the contemplation loop.

Hucka D.:

Take pictures tomorrow. Bye!
