Eddie Bruce

Bill Bixby as “Mr. Eddie’s Father”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Courtship_of_Eddie’s_Father

Eddie wants a new mother. To that end, he cleverly manipulates his father’s relationships with women, sometimes even trying to set his father up to fall for women Eddie knows and likes first.

Falls County, Texas (Bruceville-Eddy)

Bixby went on to star as David “Bruce” Banner in The Incredible Hulk (1977-1982).

Bossmo (creature)

Car approaches us with headlights on. The lights have been on since we first see it in Streetview, coming over the crest of the hill.

The Bossmo Rock house first comes into clear view to the left.

The blue truck that the Google Maps Streetview car has been following for several miles now readies to turn into the driveway of the rock house, causing the car in front of it to put on its brakes. At the same time, the headlights of the car in the opposite lane are switched off. One set of lights comes on (brakelights); the other goes off (headlights). It is at this point on the road that we will see the Bossmo creature. We can tell this because of the underground cable sign to the right, which acts as a landmark for the spot.

We’ve passed the now unlighted car. Here we see the first visible evidence of the creature (right).

The Streetview photo with the best view of “Bossmo”.

Close-up.

11:46am update:

However impossible it sounds, Hucka D. is indicating that the creature in question is an Oz Wheeler. Well… judge for yourself; compare with here:

I suppose we’ll be hearing more about all this soon enough!

I was also very pleased this day of hiking to learn how close Flattop is to the lower end of the ridge: proximity of two flat places, as it were.

Ridge’s End, as I’ll call it, contains some interesting looking trees and plants…

… perhaps centered by these 4 (locusts? persimmons?) with moss covered bottoms.

Another interesting looking twinned tree of the area with a u shaped connection.

A Ridge’s Edge pine tree’s branches spread horizontally in several directions.

The 4 central trees again from the “front”.

Moving back down to Flattop, which lies only about 20-30 feet below the top. It’s definitely a part of the same complex. Site of yet another toy happening in the future?? Could be.

Flattop view:

Taum Sauk’s cousin Railingston, his faithful dog Rrrrr, and his two ninja bodyguards occupy the top with me.

Oh, and of course his precious railing is there as well. I see it as kind of like Linus’ blanket to him. He sits on it, looks out at the marvelous view, and sucks his thumb.

The first pic in this post comes from Supersity over in Frank Park. There were a number of posts about this imaginary city-fort composed early on in the Frank and Herman Einstein blog, all from November and December 2012 as I’m now checking. Curious it hasn’t been mentioned here again since then. But anyway, now the 2 sets of rocks have a house polluting their top: no more possible Supersity re-creations or revelations. Compare with this earlier photo here. All we have are the legends of the place. The Sacred Hoop art work once adorning the top was a special site indeed.

We now move back to the general Bigfoot area with shots coming from a ridge separating Bigfoot from Rediscovery. Today I found an easier way to the top from the main path into Bigfoot. Excellent! It’s a short but still tough climb of about 150 feet. I found this baseball on the ridge. Due to its height, I believe the only way it could have gotten up here is if someone brought it. Although there’s an old baseball field below, one would have to had been a Herman Munster to knock it this far. So there’s clear evidence of human involvement with the ridge in the past. But I’m not sure anyone comes up here any longer.

Lots of nice rocks on the other side of the ridge from the old high school…

…with 2 of the biggest, if not the biggest, being one I call Razor’s Edge which we see the sharp namesake top of below…

… and another I call Flattop, which, in contrast to Razor’s Edge, has a nice flat top where one can sit and enjoy the view of the surrounding woods. Flattop is probably the most dramatic looking rock in the region, and is especially impressive coming up to it from below.
