BMUL End of August 02

The foaming cold pepsis are long gone. The blare of the final horn signalling a win or loss a distant echo. Victories and defeats blend together in a slushy past. Sports is myopic and present intense. Kids do not worship Jimmy Foxx, Harmon Killebrew or Hank Greenburg. Or even Hank Aaron.

The football goal posts have been ripped down, having served their allotments of field goals and extra points.

On the very southeastern edge of the plateau: a mysterious sky blue circle. This marks the entrance into the Bigfeet metro area as I’m presently defining it. Down we go!

An old golf club found at the very center of the Bigfeet area, its projected “downtown”. I guess I should back up here and explain.

WHAT IS BIGFEET? A question to be asking at this point in time. Is it the site of a projected toy happening for later in September or perhaps October, a la a Lion’s Roar from 3 years ago? Could very well be, unless some other place pops up between now and then as a better candidate.

I’ve been having a very hard time creating suitable photos of Bigfeet however. I need to fiddle around with [camera] Liquor’s settings; see if I can find the manual…

This saved shot also comes from the heart of Bigfeet, or the place where its central small stream empties into the Bigfoot Swamp via a pipe. I can see camping in the spot I take this picture from in the future. which is the same place I hold the golf club above. Near future? What kind of toys will be imported here? Will the objects mainly come from the Plateau of Raw Art directly above? Could be. I’m seeing yellow shoes…

You have to cross Leola Creek to reach Bigfeet from the east — no other option. It’s getting narrower and rockier in contrast to, say, ALO, but the crossing is still tricky here. In wetter weather it would be basically impossible without wading. It almost is in dry weather. But that natural barrier of sorts would also help protect me from human intruders I would suppose.

This is the Bigfeet Swamp outlet, with the stream soon to meet up with Leola about 100 feet beyond maximum.

Leola Creek. You can cross it on foot. With care, because the smooth rocks within are slippery when wet.

At the spot I crossed both days this weekend we have a wedged barrel and a yellow chair on the near side or Blue Mountain Urban Landscape side.
