Whitehead X-ing, Late Spring 03

A rounded rock called, um, Welcome Mat, because it denotes the place where you ascend up from the Korean Channel into the wooded plateau of Whitehead X-ing, specifically the 4 Sticks region. This is on the main path through the area once more, or on the old Rocky Trail in other words.

IMG_0115smaller

A brand new find today: A perfectly diamond shaped rock found on a Whitehead Brook beach just below the 4 Sticks region. Too perfect, I feel. The beach has most likely garnered the name Diamond Beach as well, then, with Diamond Rock its epicenter. Hmmm….

IMG_0118smallest

Is this a 4×7 diamond? If so, it could be attached to additional, charged magic.

Yes, an interesting bug was found while walking through Bug Fields: a yellow dragonfly who was kind enough to pose for a snapshot for my blog. Thank you!

IMG_0129smaller

This seeming visage of a hawk or snake head at the edge of Bug Field reminded me of the nearby and more obvious Green Turtle visual effect.

Whitehead X-ing, Late Spring 02

We come now to the blog post about Great Island and Rock Island, or the rocky islands marking the upper and lower parts of The Straightaway mentioned in Whitehead X-ing, Late Spring 01. Super important islands these seem to be, the most important within Whitehead Crossing by all present evidence.

First is Great Island, which may become “Rock Island” in the future (with current Rock Island changed to something else). All of this being part of a slowly developing picture, of course. I’m presently calling this Great Island, however, to emphasize its importance within WC/WX. First off, to me it quite obviously marks the very southern tip of Whitehead Crossing/Whitehead X-ing, and is also the much larger of the 2 islands I’m referring to here. The island is roughly cresent shaped, and maybe about 30 yards from tip to tip, and about 10 yards wide. I’ll have to check these dimensions in a future visit (perhaps today!). Besides its size, the other obvious quality of the island is its *rocky* nature: there’s little that *isn’t* rock on the island. If you could count all the rocks out visible to the naked eye, they’d probably number in the hundreds of thousands, perhaps the millions.

IMG_0069smaller

There are also some plants on the island, but almost all spring out of a rocky base, as with the below cluster. I’ll have to nail down what type of plants these are later on.

IMG_0075smaller

Rather interesting close ups of leaves with water beads. I’d like to take more of these pictures in the future.

IMG_0076smaller

IMG_0080smaller

Now we go to the opposite side of The Straightaway to Rock Island, a considerably smaller affair than Great Island but similarly chocked full of rocks from end to end. The roughly circular island is about 10 yards in diameter, and is pictured better at the end of this April post (2nd picture from bottom). The below picture is instead taken *from* Rock Island toward the upper end of the Korean Channel, where Green Stream disappears (from this direction) into the rhododendron thickets to the east of Whitehead Crossing’s center.

Whitehead X-ing, Late Spring 01

Unfortunately I deleted the first slice of my new Whitehead Crossing related photos last night when preparing this post. But I’ll probably take pics of all the deleted scenes soon enough. So let’s go with what we’ve got this morning. The first picture records part of the process of creating a “thinking circle”, or a place I would walk around in a big circle and just think out loud. I’ve made quite a number of these down through the years in various spots; *thinking* most recently in… well, actually I hadn’t made one of these in a number of years, and have forgotten where the last appearance would be. I use to have a thinking rock just outside of Boulder, within the Herman Park borders. I’d basically pace a small loop upon the rock while talking to myself about various, usually synchronicity related subjects. The stone lays below one of the park’s many carriage trails, jutting from the top side of a deep valley to Boulder’s west. But I haven’t been over there for many years. In contemplating the matter further, I *have* created quite a number of these loops, but usually they are of a very transient nature, and used only once or twice. But there are exceptions. Will the Whitehead Crossing contemplation circle (new name) be more long term in nature? Well, first I have to nail down the path of the loop, which I didn’t quite do this fine, late May day. The gray feather at the base of the tree pictured below might be an indicator on where the loop should be placed — I was looking for signs like this when continuing to pick out the path in test runs. If the loop is completed it seems to be of a ovoid shape, about 40 yards long and 25 or so yards wide, and centered by a large tulip tree which forks into two parts near its base.

More on that story as it develops during future visits.

IMG_0046smaller

Bank of Whitehead Brook, opposite a small beach just upstream from Knobby Log or Big Log — haven’t quite settled on a name yet.

IMG_0049smaller

I didn’t take any pictures this day of the heart of the 4 Sticks area, which may also represent the beating heart of Whitehead Crossing as a whole. However, I certainly stopped in, as I always do when visiting WC, and took note of late spring developments. Yes, it truly seems to be an epicenter, and if I was — no, *when* I camp in the area — this is as good a spot as any to set up a tent. As with the creation of the Contemplation Loop, I’m very cognizant of the wildlife already present, with my aim to disturb and especially kill or eradicate as few of the native plants as possible. Contemplation Loop is being set up in the only logical place it could be within Whitehead X-ing, in a more open area with much fewer ground plants than other spots. The center of 4 Sticks also fits this bill, but within a much more limited range, probably too limited for the creation of a contemplation loop there. But I’ll talk more of 4 Sticks later on as well… this is probably where I’ll set the model train track down also (a la a Lion’s Roar), if it comes to that. 🙂

But to the below picture: Another thing I decided to work on today was identifying the main path through the Whitehead Crossing area, beginning at the Maine Trail (official hiking trail just north of Whitehead Crossing) and running all the way through the meat of the area — past the Contemplation Loop and Grey Seal and Cliffs of Dundee and 4 Sticks, etc. — to Green Stream, a distance of several football fields, perhaps. Just past 4 Sticks (heading to Green Stream) the trail seems to divide into 2, with the left fork quickly coming to a dead end, however. Instead, the less obvious, right fork is the way to reach the fabled stream, soon crossing the below log with a peculiar fungus attached to it now, looking perhaps a bit too much like a skull (?) Or looking at the picture a little better now, perhaps just an amorphous face with still identifiable eyes, nose, and mouth regions. The black and sparkly dots on the “face” may be insects of some kind — didn’t check when I took the picture. The same log had a large yellow fungus on its top a way’s up the branch, which I also took a picture of but didn’t turn out as well as this one.

IMG_0054smaller

As I’ve stated before, the Whitehead X-ing area is large and varied, with many prominent locations yet to be named. This would include the spot below, perched on the edge of a rather deep yet dry valley filled with rhododendrons, and marking probably an eastern edge of WC (or “WX”) as a whole. This would be between 4 Sticks and Green Stream on the main path through the area.

IMG_0058smaller

Reaching the flat plain surrounding Green Stream at the upper end of the Korean Channel, I decided to take a picture of Rock’s Rocket, first discussed in this Baker Blink Blog post from last spring. As you can see, Gene Fade has yet to find money in the “Fade to Moss” motion picture budget to paint the famed wreck, per Rock’s suggestion. Or perhaps Gene Fade thinks the rusted look will work better in the movie; can’t wait to see it, whatever. 😎

IMG_0060smaller

Another picture of those large, dead hemlocks positioned on opposite banks of Green Stream, marking a type of gateway.

IMG_0063smaller

I’ve decided to call the passage of Green Stream through this gateway the Straightway, because, as you can tell from the below photo, the creek runs basically straight in this area, or from the northern tip of Great Island, which I’ll get to in a moment, and the very upper limit of the Korean Channel at another rocky island which I’ll also talk about below.

Mr. Blue Sky was very much in evidence during this day’s visit to the Korean Channel.

Sharieland’s Heart Line (01), then Whitehead X-ing Trees

Heart Line is a path running from a postion between Heart and Head Lake to a road below Herman’s Mansion, cutting across the heart, as I interpret it, of his namesake park. I also assoc. it with the *Heart* Line on a *Hand*, positioned above the *Head* Line and whose lower end is just above the upper end of the *Health* Line. See the diagram at the end of this post.*

Below are two pictures of rocks found along Heart Line or Line of Heart. I’ll take more pictures this weekend, with accompanying text to be generated as well.

IMG_0002smaller

IMG_0003smaller

Neart a central point, Heart Line becomes clogged with rhododendron, but a path has been cut through the bramble still, allowing one to continue upward or downward. I should also note here that Heart Line is not an official hiking trail of the park, but has obviously been walked and even somewhat maintained as an unofficial one by certain groups of people in the past.

* palmistry lines:
heart-line_large

Hucka D.:

You wish to ask about palmistry and hand, heart, health, head. Yes, the blueprint for the lakes of the park all appear in Sharieland, in the various paths that cut across the land just below Herman’s beautiful mansion in the skies. But there may have been more human intervention in these plans than you presently suspect. Perhaps Herman knew of the Heart Line. Perhaps Herman knew of the giant hand[ as it were], below the mansion. Pull up that Arkansas hand from before — Baxter County I believe.

bb:

Here it is, Hucka.

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/if-odd-crazy-things-become-consistently-common/

Hand of Oppotubity

Well, certainly Herman’s Mansion is his beautiful *Mountain Home* in the skies, Hucka[ as you put it].

Hucka D.:

Herman wished to move his home into the mountains themselves, to become one with the mountains. He’s approving of your work, baker b.

MOUNTAIN HOME… FOLLOWING THE HEART. HEART LEADS TO HEAD. HEAD OF MOUNTAIN.

2331084-billiards-cue-eight-ball-and-cue-ball

Herman saw his mansion positioned between cue and eight ball on the Mounds of Venus; his grounds as a giant hand — fingers as roads. Mansion equals 12345 between the balls. Cue ball was oblique in his living days. Cue ball and eight ball are two of the mounds here.

boy_beads_wwwboybeadscom_mens_billiard_pool_table_ball_cue_q_ball_8ball_eight_ball_bracelet_beads_mens_black

Some say Herman saw his mansion in a vesica piscus lying between the two mounds. Some say he wanted his mansion to be the third, central mound, completing the hand of his land [Land Hand]. He wanted to rooftops to be equal in elevation to the basically equal tops of Cue and Eight.

cueballeightball02

In this doctored map, the two mounds are clearly/obviously in the center: “8” marks the top of Eight Ball and “C” the peak of Cue Ball. Notice Herman’s Mansion is quite positioned between the two, reinforcing a vesica piscus interpretation. On this map I’ve also included the location of Heart Line (red) just downhill from the mansion, and also Head Lake and Heart Lake are marked.

—–

Hucka D.:

The 2 mounds would have to be those of The Sun and Saturn, don’t you think baker b.?

bb:

Suppose. According to this article…

http://psychiclibrary.com/beyondBooks/palmistry-mounts

Hucka D.:

Sorry to interrupt [again!], but that may be the Mount of Saturn and Jupiter, instead. I think this is what Herman thought when building his mansion. It is a cross between Saturn and Jupiter, the two largest mounds…er, planets I mean. And that makes sense when I’m looking at the map again through your eyes.

bb;

Yeah, thanks for adding that last part. Partial credit to me, then.

Hucka D.:

I’ll think about it. (smiles)

bb:

So here we go:

http://psychiclibrary.com/beyondBooks/mount-of-jupiter

http://psychiclibrary.com/beyondBooks/mount-of-saturn

handmounts

But can we go even *further* with this, Hucka D., and say that *all* mounds of the hand have correspondence in the landscape around the mansion. Obviously I think we can say that the Mound or Mount of Apollo corresponds with that flat ridge I explored a week ago today, where I felt a strong presence of fairies. Traditional palmistry has it that if a mound of the hand is too flat, it represents a weakening of that aspect in the personality.

Hucka D.:

Yes. *All* mounds are represented in the landscape, as you’ve guessed. You better study the history of palmistry.

Sharieland 01

Before getting to Sharieland, I thought I’d begin with this interesting shot from Whitehead Crossing of a single leafed plant with 3 symmetrically arranged flower petals atop it. I’m trying to pay attention to such things — this would be beside No Title Rock, I believe, and taken about 2 weeks prior to posting it here.

IMG_0004smaller

To the main subject of the day now: This weekend I was fortunate enough to accomplish hikes on Friday, Saturday and Sunday all. Friday and Sunday sent me to what I’m, as of yesterday, calling Sharieland. “Sharie” is a portmandeu of words “fairy” and “share”. It is literally a fairy that likes to share, at least with other fairies of its type. The theory goes that the land immediately below and around Herman’s Mansion in Herman Park was riddled with the creatures, and perhaps they even use to interact with the humans who lived and worked there, perhaps even Herman himself or at least one or several of his family. In this way, they may be akin to the borrowers made famous by English author Mary Norton.

I first found clear evidence of a fairy culture in the vicinity of the mansion through this more elaborate rock cairn, extending itself beyond a mere single line stack of rocks. Is there a message within the multi-layered arrangement?

IMG_0008smaller

IMG_0013smaller

These pictures comes not downhill from Herman’s Mansion, as the above ones do, but from the ridge immediately to its west that, at its peak, rises a bit beyond the mansion’s rooftops. Herman himself named this low ridge The Eight Ball, and the path encircling and also penetrating its summit was a favorite of he and his wife.

IMG_0015smaller

IMG_0022smaller

Squarish rock on the ridge.

IMG_0028smallest

We’ll return to The Eight Ball in a moment, but let’s shift to yet another location near the mansion: a flatter ridge not known about or explored before Friday atall, and just a stone’s throw south of the former. Actually, I first began to think about fairies in the area when finding this remarkably flat area and variously holed trees and stones within. A large-ish garter snake (below) pointed me towards the wilder interior of the ridge as I was walking past it on a carriage road, but I didn’t understand its message until later…

IMG_0029smaller

… after spotting this nice rock a bit off and above the road, about a football field’s length down from the snake. Its presence immediately lured me back into the woods, and soon I was exploring the whole extent of the flat top of the ridge it perched on the edge of. I’ll come up with a name for this rock soon; it’s similar in size, say, to Grey Rock of Whitehead Crossing, but without a topping stone (Seal Stone) in this case.

IMG_0030smaller

What might be the heart of the forest on the ridge, with a peculiar and admittedly a bit disturbing gash in the tree to the right here. Two holes, actually, but the lower and larger one seems quite like a wound, so much so that I found I didn’t want to put a close up of it in this blog. What is the story behind this? Is it really a “wound”, perhaps one that can’t heal? Does it tell something about the fairies of the area?

Whitehead X-ing Notes 02

I believe the Mossmen knew of their relation with Mormons (Latter Day Saints) when coming into contact with The Bees of Greenhead at the top of the Korean Channel. The Bees may have made them aware of this. “You are like The Mormons”, they explained, and said the Mormons, when finding The Bees, knew they had reached Zion or the Promised Land. “We will show you everything about this land because it has been prophesized that you would come,” The Bees then said. “But there is one more to enter,” which turned out to be Whitehead or Blue Skies Mr. “For The Mormons, the prophet was at the beginning of their history. For you Mossmen, the prophet only surfaces at the end of your journey, after you found your own Zion here at [Whitehead X-ing]. Now we only have to wait.” And wait they did, for — years, until Rock’s Rocketship crash landed at the top of the Korean Channel. A fairy from Maine enters Whitehead Crossing at the same time, and establishes a home to the east of Green Stream from the crash site. The Bees have prepared Little Whitehead for the coming, creating the Green Turtle (for example). Rock would see the Green Turtle, and know he had entered 3 (Edward Stone) beyond 2 (Seal Stone). He had reached Home. The Emerald was also prepared there. The bridge at Green Turtle/Edward Stone as well. Rock knew he had to create Home on this finger of land between Whitehead and Little Whitehead. The Fairy had already left the area, but was the first settler. The Fairy exited (east) as Rock entered (west). Rock sorta kinda took his place. This was the only way Fairy could escape in first place? Fairy put out an ad: come to Whitehead Crossing and replace me and allow me to be set free. Well, he probably disguised the “being trapped” part. But Rock was eager to take a role in the cosmos, and applied from his home in Syncher Creek Designated Mystery Area (designated afterwards). “Your grave becomes the grave of the Unknown” at Dogpatch, explains Fairy to Rock, after Fairy is set free. They talk via “telephone”. Dial phone.

The Mossmen would spread out and settle the whole Korean Channel and beyond, much like the Mormons spread out and settled the Mormon Corridor.

One was able to first dial a telephone at “4 Sticks” in Whitehead Metro Area. White Rock is like an illuminated finger doing the dialing. White Rock is a pencil doing the dialing. A Rock and Roller answers. It’s Elton, but not to be confused with Elton John. But it still could be Elton John if you know what I mean (I don’t).

http://www.myspace.com/video/bart/marc-warren-as-elton-pope-on-love-monsters/57569781

Okay, and roller skates sung about in that 6+ minute video (!)

“What did you say you were?” ask The Bees, already snickering. “Mossmen” came the answer. “Mossmons?” came The Bee’s reply, pretending to misunderstand. More snickering. Main Mossman (Mossmain) said, “no”, without humor. “I said Moss*men*”. The Bee clicked and shook his head. “So close, so close, what a shame.” The Main Bee (Hucka?) looked over his should at the others, then returning, saying “Because the bees and I.. we’ll, we thought it might be *Mormons*.” All The Bees erupted into full laughter, some doubled over, some on the ground rolling. The Main Bee then attempted to explain: “You don’t get it. This has happened all before, Mossmons”, for the Main Bee was to joking refer to the Mossmen as Mosmons from now on, always to laughter or giggling or snickering if other bees were accompanying him. “Who are these Morrmons?” returned Mossmain, who also shook his head but out of confusion instead of mock indignation.

Summary of what happened next:

The Bee explained that the Mormon’s prophet came at the beginning, but for the Mossmen it was at the end, after they had already found their personalized geographicalized Zion. (NOTE: Zion mentioned in HT a little before the “Korean Channel”).

Whitehead X-ing Notes 01

The Emerald (seemingly permanent green grass atop Little Whitehead Ridge) changed from Evergreen at some point.

—–

Thinking of carving an image into 4 Sticks’ Stick’s End, inspired by some pictures here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/stixncanes/page2/

The area is directly related to the “4 Sticks” song by Led Zeppelin from their ZoSo or 4th album:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Sticks

“4 Sticks” is also a track used in Carrcass-3.*

So the 4 parallel sticks in 4 Sticks can be directly related to drum sticks per the wikipedia article on the track.

Only US Sticks near Stiltz in PA. Both are on Lineboro topo map as well, and are alphabetically next to each other in the total list of 62 pop places of this map.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stilts

Sticks and stilts are both lines. Lineboro on Mason-Dixon Line, hence name. This line is the same as the MD/PA border. Stiltz is on this same line. Whitehead X-ing’s 4 Sticks sticks or limbs are *lined* up in a horizontal row on the forest floor. Stilts in contrast are vertical when in use.

Playing drums w/ 4 sticks and walking long distances with stilts are both remarkable and improbable feats.

—–

NOTE: Create or xerox/copy Mythos map with Emerald Province and Edwardston, Green Turtle, Sealson, et al.

Copy same from “Notebook I”, with analysis. In that early or basically “first” notebook (1981), Sealston is assoc. with the number 2, and Edwardston with the following number of 3. 2 represents exteriorization from 1 (Confederation/Mythos), and elsewhere in the notebook connected with Earth’s moon as similar gravitational escape. Sealston in Whitehead X-ing terminology translated to Seal Stone, as Edwardston does to Edward Stone. 3 follows 2 as stabilization of exteriorization. Numbers 2 and 3 may transfer as well. Edwardston traditional 3rd largest city of Wazob, and on 3-4-5 golden triangle with Gillalex (4) and Calypso (5), fully transferring Confederation (Mythos) energy to Wazob, it seems.

—–

4 sticks of PA/MD straddling Mason-Dixon line:

lineboro03

2 lines (2 sticks each, seemingly), horizontal and vertical, are traditional sticks (on ground) and stilts (perpendicular to ground). But Sticks, PA is on vertical line here, indicating stilts, and Stiltz is on horizontal line with Lineboro, and on Mason-Dixon Line (very famous line, or archetypal line). Could represent off (stilts off, thus laying horizontally on ground) and on (stilts in use, thus perpendicular to ground).

Roller is the 4th element here and appears to stand for roller skates (or roller blades), another archaic means of transportation like stilts, but sans sticks in this case.

Mason is north (blue) as Dixon is south through Dixie (gray). Confusion of up/down/right/left(wrong) in our US of A, like during the Civil War.

Very interesting as well that Roller + population place comes up with 5 entries in GNIRPS (new name!), the one near Lineboro in the above map, and then one which instantly stood out among the other four, in a Mason & Dixon County also in Maryland (like Roller), but 1 whole longitude degree to the west. The primary name for this population place is Fairview Mills, also known as Fairview Roller Mills (and hence the appearance). Both are on almost the same latitude line as well. Very funny that Rockdale is by far the nearest village, and Fairview Mills itself is on Rockdale Creek. Indication: rock and roller or rollers, like certainly Led Zeppelin members were in their times. Also on the ZoSo album is the track “Rock and Roll”.

Now check *this* out (just found): “Rock and Roll” and “Four Sticks” are intimately tied together during the recording of ZoSo:

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has said that this song came to be written as a spontaneous jam session, whilst the band were trying (and failing) to finish the track “Four Sticks”.[1][2] Drummer John Bonham played the introduction to Little Richard’s “Keep a Knockin'” and Page added a guitar riff.[3] The tapes were rolling and fifteen minutes later the basis of the song was down.[4] Said Page:

We were recording another number [Four Sticks]; we’d just finished a take and John Bonham did the drum intro and we just followed on. I started doing pretty much half of that riff you hear on Rock n Roll and it was just so exciting that we thought, “let’s just work on this”. The riff and the sequence was really immediate to those 12-bar patterns that you had in those old rock songs like Little Richard, etc, and it was just so spur-of-the-moment the way that it just came together more or less out of nowhere.[2]

Do you sense the synch energy spread’n out??

*I* was having trouble nailing down an interpretation of Sticks/Stiltz/Lineboro/Roller, with Roller the last addition. I knew it somehow represented “4 Sticks”. Then in GNIRPing Roller, found the Fairview Mills “Roller” strongly assoc. with “Rock”, and made the link with Zep’s “Rock and Roll”. Then in googling “Rock and Roll” found the intimate connection with “4 Sticks” from the same album, which was likewise “interrupted” by “Rock” and “Roll” as it were. Make sense?

OH, and Rock and Roll/4 Sticks were released on same single as side a and b respectively. How peculiar!

—–

* Lyrics:

Oh baby it’s cryin’ time
Oh baby I got to fly.

Got to try to find a way
Got to try to get away

‘Cause you know I gotta get away from you babe.
Oh baby the river’s red oh baby in my head.
There’s a funny feelin’ goin’ on
I don’t think I can hold out long.

And when the owls cry in the night
Oh baby baby when the pines begin to cry
Baby baby baby how do you feel?
If the river runs dry, baby, how do you feel?

Craze, baby, the rainbow’s end, Mmm, baby, it’s just a den
For those who hide, who hide their love to depths of life
And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe.

“Another…

… possible name source for Whitehead X-ing is this moss covered rock with white quartz, perched above Little Whitehead, and downstream from a similarly perched Edward Stone and its Green Turtle, Hucka D.

IMG_0019smaller

A rock beside it also has a prominent spot of white quartz. The shape of this quartz marking may also be important. A fish?

IMG_0020smaller

IMG_0018smaller

Of course, the name could come from White Rock next to what I’m perceiving to be Seal Stone, or one of 2 prominent candidates for this stone.

IMG_0013smaller
Seal Stone (left) and Grey Rock (right); or is Seal Stone instead the topping rock of Grey Rock?

Hucka D.:

Either one. You know Edward Stone is the stone with Green Turtle on its upper side. Named for Edward I, who was in the area.

IMG_0022smaller
The Emerald (left center) and moss topped Edward Stone (right)

bb:

We also call the ever-green grass in the center of the ridge separating Whitehead Brook and Little Whitehead The Emerald, Hucka D. Logical decision, given that Mythos’ Edwardston, with its prominent Green Turtle suburb, is also the largest city of Wazob’s Emerald Province. It’s also been identified with Oz’s Emerald City.

Hucka D. (reinforcing):

Logical.

bb:

It could be that Grey Rock itself was called Seal Stone in the past, Hucka D. The topping rock, or the rock on top of the rock, could have instead been Grey Rock, or just Grey. And if Seal Stone is this topping rock, does it *open up*? What’s inside Grey Rock, Hucka?

Hucka D.:

Too many questions[ for now].

Thank you.

Whitehead X-ing Thoughts

Some thoughts while I have them in my head upon rereading old blog entries about this most central of all Frank Park locations, it seems.

Hucka D.:

I am here to help. You have Grey Rock, you have Seal Stone. You have No Title Spring. You have the yellow brick road leading to the 50 bottles region no more [“Goodbye”]. You have The Rocky Trail, which goes into and beyond Grey Rock. You have Rock the Rocket Man, who crash landed next to Green Stream and took The Rocky Trail to Green Turtle. Green Turtle was also known as Green Parrot. On this same finger of land is found Edward Stone, a bleedthrough of Edwardston, which also happens to be near a Green Turtle[ in Mythos].

bb:

Which of the stones is Seal Stone, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

A choice. Some people go both ways — and so forth.

bb:

I think I see. ‘Course the names could have shifted around. What about the Orange Hill?

Hucka D.:

Castle Dundee. Home of Mr. and Mrs. Dundee. Who owned the dingo.

bb:

Is there, then, a Line of Dundee?

Hucka D.:

Might be.

bb:

High Octave Castle, then.

—–

dingo rise/fox fall

—–

bb:

And then just a little more — I think Rock would have found The Grave and thought it to be Whitehead’s, the originator.

Hucka D.:

Marble City. Marble Falls.

Whitehead X-ing is such a complex area!

Hucka D.:

You build on Fantasia Brick Road and take it to the next level. Also: Fairy House. Like Elton John is a famous fairy, in a positive way.

The [diamond patched] tail wags the dog.

Hucka D. (correcting back):

God.

“Fade To Moss” Production Shots

The same post talks about Rock’s grave, which is not his grave in the production shots of “Fade to Moss”. Wonder where Gene Fade is on that?

Rock’s grave, however, obviously strongly resonates with the tiny Dogpatch Cemetery only found very recently. Rock, I believe, would have stumbled upon it — could have stumbled upon it — in his explorations of the area.

When does Rock created his twisty turny tale, where he’s a bad guy instead of a good one? It’s to disguise his whereabouts and doings. He thinks like a syncher.

Do the yellow bricks hidden at Tinsity come originally from Whitehead X-ing?

I believe that Herman Park’s Billfork originates in Whitehead. Mossmen used the Spoon Fork portal system to reach Green Stream and the Korean Channel. At the upper end of the Korean Channel is Whitehead X-ing; Jeogeorock, which is Grey Rock. Had the Mossmen already found other jeogeorocks? Possibility. They traditionally come from Moss Most, an original settlement far up Spoon Fork from Frank Park, just at the edge of where it knives toward Frank Park and the portal system. Then they reached another historical node at Mocksity, downstream, then also Notherton across The Way. This is where knife truly acts as a medium between formerly cross Spoon and Fork. Perhaps The Way had not even been created (until then?) — makes sense. Gene Fade, eventual actor in all those Salad Bar Jack adventure movies, born at Jupiter Rock above Nothernton, on what is called simply Gene Fade’s Mountain in this here blog. Some say the red spot on the rock is a jewel, perhaps a ruby. But related to this one found in Second Life on the yin-yang style Bracket Islands of the Corsica continent [LINK]. Gene Fade used [My Second Lyfe] avatar Karoz Blogger to create the ruby or jewel (or a virtual rendition of such?), with, again traditionally, 32 prims or 32 facets. This is the Korean Channel. Gene Fade must have learned about the fabled Korean Channel while growing up in this Jupiter Rock/Notherton area. It was an ultimate destination, like Utah or Deseret was for the Mormons. Gene Fade desired greatly to go to this Korean Channel with its Green Stream (full of emeralds and rubies and diamonds?).

News came from afar that the Korean Channel had been sealed up for the spring/summer months. Mossmen settled in Red Head beyond the upper end of the channel, but still on Green Stream. They hid… their avatar bodies able to move through the thick rhododendron, but allowing no human humans access (like me!). Mossmen first made friends with The Bees (like Hucka Doobee) at neighboring Greenhead, strongly resonating with the honeybee name origin of Deseret in fact. There was a confusion about colors… with Red Head at the head of Green Stream and Greenhead at the head of Red(stream) [LINK: MISSISSIPPI]. Another essential energy was added to the mix with the crash landing of Rock’s Rocket at the upper end of the Korean Channel, or at the lower end of Whitehead X-ing — what would become this city. He used The Rocky Trail to move into Whitehead Crossing proper (all the imp. rocks along this path have become legendary) and settle not in the modern version of the city but at the old Green Turtle/Edward Stone region between Whitehead and Little Whitehead. The crash would open up a portal to Maine as well, allowing a single fairy to escape from Monhegan Island there (through the overlapping Little Whiteheads). This fairy, larger than any of the rest on that island, was a psychic double to Rock, and created his home in the fairy meadow on the east side of Green Stream from the crash site. Rock’s crash also highlighted the importance of Grey Rock and its accompanying Seal Stone.

But since Rock created a twisty-turny tale, disguising his actual story, the fairy could have also been Rock himself instead of his double.

Continuing this Maine-Whitehead X-ing parallel, we have the Maine Trail, a play on words of Main Trail, which would be the main trail of the area, to the west of Whitehead X-ing and connecting Jacob I. Road with the now paved or asphalted Twisty-Turny Road (just coined!).

Before I forget, there’s also probably a Crocodile Rock in Whitehead X-ing — maybe it is the same as the Green Turtle/Green Parrot, or yet another variant name of this formation.

The could have even been a battle or a war over what the name was for this particular formation (Green Turtle vs. Green Parrot).

Back to Rock… he would have passed Grey Rock with its Seal Stone on the way to Little Whitehead. He would have crossed Little Whitehead and entered Edward Stone proper (or whatever the town was named then — perhaps Green Turtle?) on the old fairy bridge (made by fairies but apparently the smaller or more traditional type). The fairies were hired from Monhegan Island (by whom?) So this “fairy bridge” becomes legendary and attached to Rock’s legacy as well. Another tradition says that he crossed into Edward Stone from the larger bridge at the present source of Little Whitehead, and over which you can clearly see the green turtle formation.

Revision: If the village is named Edwards Stone, then I think this means the Green Turtle oriented people won the war over the Green Parrot favoring tribe, who instead maybe moved upstream on Whitehead Brook to Rock’s Meadows and Rock’s Rocks, the upper limit of Whitehead X-ing. Rock would eventually make this his people instead of those at Edward Stone favoring the Green Turtle treatment of the formation. This is also like the Green Parrot province of Mythos upsteam on Edward Creek from Green Turtle and Edwardston. Green parrot would have been the shape of the formation for, say, a *normal sized human like Whitehead.*

Some variations of the story have The Rocky Trail paved with yellow or gold bricks, but this is false most likely — road too small or narrow? Instead the gold brick road was the old entrance into Whitehead X-ing, when Old Whitehead actually lived there. *Is* Old Whitehead buried at tiny Dogpatch Cemetery? But the story is certainly similar to Dorothy’s entrance into Oz — the crashed farmhouse is Rock’s crashed spaceship; the Rocky Trail is at least symbolically the Yellow Brick Road, and Seal Stone is the Scarecrow, who doesn’t know which rock is named such (some people go both ways, etc.). If there are parallels to Munchkins, they would be the meadow fairies. Back to Grey Rock and Seal Stone: the phrase “rocks for brains” also could be pertinent. Then Edward Stone is the Emerald City, complete with skyscrapers at the time. In fact, it had an unusually *high* proportion of skyscrapers to regular buildings. The population was about 20. The population use to be 40, but was cut in half during the Green Turtle-Green Parrot battle/war, which ended in a draw. Therefore the population simply refers to it as part of the larger Edward Stone, and the city changed its name accordingly. Another mysterious part is the Orange Hill or Orange Cliffs, on which the Dundee Castle is perched, where Mr. and Mrs. Dundee lived. Their dingo use to be sighted as descending the cliffs, only to come back up as a fox. Or visa versa. The legend is in many art pictures of the period.

Dingos descending represents the passage of life into death. Foxes ascending (to the Plane of Dundee) is death into life. They are Newborn on the Plane. They die at the bottom of the cliff where it meets Whitehead Brook. All this could be seen from Knobby Log, which was also inhabited. Knobs were homes — wood fairies once more?

Then it would be sacrilege to give No Title Spring a name, according to the fairies (?).

What did Rock find in Edward Stone? He found a population struggling to recover from the Green Turtle/Green Parrot wars. He made his home high above the town, but was able to see its skyscrapers still, so high they were. One skyscraper held the Art 10×10 (Wheeler-Jasper series). More fox-dingo images were within.

“Cliffs of Dundee” (Waverly Knapp, c1812)

cliffsofdundee
actual cliffs — not so high

Hucka D.:

There was an alignment of art galleries. And perhaps labyrinths at the same time. The Line of Art it was called. 39 people use to live in Edward Stone, and also 0.1 of a person known as [delete name].

“The Fairy?” I proffered.

Hucka D. (continuing):

The range was 38.9 to 39.3.

bb:

39 point 3 point what?

Hucka D. (ignoring the silly baker):

The line ran across the Castle Dundee to Edward Stone, atop the Knobby Log. Because it was on the line, Castle Dundee was required to become an art gallery in due time. It resisted.

bb:

Why?

Hucka D.:

There was a famous painting of the Panama Canal by Waverly Knapp (c1812), but was defaced by Rocket Man and his Rocket with “Sirius or Bust” scrawled upon its side. Mr. Dundee did not understand that this was part of the art, and painted over it.

bb:

Crocodile Dundee!

Hucka D.:

Correct. Of “Crocodile Rock” fame. Dundee and Alligator on opposite sides of a county.

One important collage of the Art 10×10 was stolen from baker b., in turn, by a former art school acquaintance named Waverly Knapp (c1812). baker b. himself stole part of this painting-disguised-as-a-collage for his Gilatona-Lis series (c1812). Mouse Island was seen as the destination of death, where the fox descended down to from the Plane of Dundee and its Dundee Castle. This is also the Promised Land (of Gill’s Pier). To keep from entering the promised land too soon, baker b. avatar must move the Pier’s Gill wagon atop the Cliffs of Dundee, a difficult task in the painting but easier in actual life (cliffs not nearly as high as in the painting). Important also is the triangle of elements in the painting “Cliffs of Dundee”. Critics knew that the green mouse of the painting was R. Booger Hayes’ Mouse Island, and the Promised Land where the true nature of the island is allowed to “play out” (like the green mouse plays the guitar in the painting). The children around him are [white-ish] rocks — Rocks Von Trapp. The Green Mouse is also known as Captain or Capitan. He earns this title in the Promised Land.

Hucka D.:

Also obviously important are the images of Green Turtle in painting. Oil painting was seen as highest art, like the high castle of Dundee atop the cliffs. Mr. Dundee, the person of High Octave (Art), made sure this was understood. So the collage formerly known as Jasper 04 became the oil painting known as the “Cliffs of Dundee”. In this way it is much like Max Ernst’s Elephant of Celebes, an oil painting also based on collage principles, and perhaps also indistinguishable from a collage from afar.
