Ashville 03

Badlands (lower center) is another interesting spot on WW property. It is said that Warren went there on school breaks to smoke kane, which is fabrication most likely.

Dead Center Hill (also see upper right corner of above photo): This is where it all went down. Warren also knew of  the place; no lie this time. Warren again separated from Wilson and climbed this hill just to the south of the river, leaving a piece of kane (Old Kane) as a marker. It was no longer Greene. It was closer to Jersey. Kane = 10 (10th tile of Billville). Jersey may equal the forgotten 9th. He began the climb at Arch Rock. He climbed from 9 to 10 (10 to 9?).

Ashville 02

Warren’s river cane grove. Because of this, he was also known simply as Cane or Kane in some circles, sometimes Old Kane.

Warren & his owls look out on a stump in Wilson (Wilson Stump). He knows this is where he comes from. He always remembers his origin because it is always within his sight. There is a big drop in front of him, separating carved entity from river. He lies at the end of a 15 (natural) step passage. People marche right by him all the time.

Nearby marshy area (Marche). My new facebook friend JS also took a photo of this same spot several days back from me, along with the river cane grove. I’m not sure she saw Warren there, however. Yet she later knew about him through my new facebook header picture, which is the same as the last photo in the “Frank and Herman, Einstein!” blog post before this one.

Brackish pool of water at the end of the river trail in this direction.

Remains of a dwelling in the woods. We’re still on Woodrow Wilson College property, but on higher ground to the south.

Look what I found within. Didn’t Warren also have a troll doll cradled in his arms? I believe so.

Another brackish pool surrounding by partial fencing, this one just above the chimney with the patriotic trolls within. I wonder if Woodrow Wilson students created both?

More nearby ruins. Ruins in the Woods.

In 2010 it was announced that DreamWorks Animation was making a feature film based on the dolls, set for release in 2016.[1][2] On April 11, 2013, DreamWorks Animation announced that they had purchased the Troll doll brand outright from the Dam company.[3]

Ashville 01

We hop right into it with a pic from Arch Rock on the side of Dead Center Hill. True to its name, the hill turned out to be the epicenter of, well, everything Ashville at least, and probably beyond. To me this almost looks like a profile picture, with the arch itself — maybe about a 6 inch hole — on the neck of the rock being, if so.

Looking through the arch, a magical passage.

Interesting rocky island in Wilson River just north of Dead Center Hill. A large yellow stone seems to stick out from the rest.

Flotsam and jetsam nearby. This had disappeared by the next weekend — washed out by rains apparently.

One of numerous Wilson River rocks in the area. This one is found not far from the river cane forest I’ll get to in a moment.

And here it is. This is apparently *not* bamboo, which is an exotic import to this area. More on river cane here. It was a fascinating place…

… not least because of the presence of this sculpture in its midst, apparently carved from a stump as far as I can tell.

It is the Owl Man. Warren is his name. He may also be related to the local Toy King. More on him soon as well.
