Sometime in mid to late June, I found out I could safely cross Leola Creek on dry rocks at a place tentatively called “Port Leola” (Porter?), which is within the safe zone mentioned or defined in an earlier post. LINK

Below is pictured a new spot on the same creek, about a 100 feet or so upstream from the safe zone/Port Leola. Unnamed as yet, it’s an amazing cluster of higher rocks with its own internal topography, including peaks, pools, islands, waterfalls, and gorges.

The meat of the rock cluster, with a small falls toward the bottom.

Graffiti at a nearby bridge over Leola Creek. This is Leola Creek Road.

Underneath the bridge.

It was only a short walk up Leola Creek Road to Hand Lake. The Finger is still present on the large island of the lake.

Looks like someone has moved in some larger rocks for unknown reasons.

Small blue flower on the island, possibly a variety of bluet.

I end this post with a couple of pictures snapped at the Plateau of Raw Art, once more.

Hello,

I continue to visit Bigfoot at least once a week during the hotter months, sometimes 2x or even 3x. I should go more. No art happening, per se, um, happened this spring/summer there, but the possibilities in the future for that remain strong, centered around either Bigfoot Proper (where my chair and spool table are and where the happening last fall occurred), or the newer region I’ve named, for now, Chester (also known as Second Place or Secondary — probably Second Place). Chesterton? (compliment to Porter on Leola Creek?) I’ve taken lots of pictures, and am very pleased that I can continue going there in the hot weather. The last time I visited — Saturday I believe — saw not one but three snakes, all at the Plateau of Raw Art, however, and not down in Bigfoot. Two were seen in the old high school drainage system. I also ran across a blacksnake on the main path into Bigfoot a couple weeks back, running just south and above the Plateau. And then a smaller snake (garter) was spotted around Bigfeet Swamp itself in April, my first one of the year.

What of Second Life and Collagesity and BoB, the new place I’ve outlined on the Nautilus continent near the “older” village of Mystenopolis? Well, no really tangible development there either, nor on the collage front. Dr. Mulholland is back and training for her next “assignment”, mainly at a BoB spa called [Finland Small]. What is the assignment? Well, I think it is to protect me, baker b., and through me, Baker Bloch, from harm. A new threat has arisen in that direction, replacing the entity known as “Me” or “My” from this spring. A lesser threat, admittedly, one call [Lime Lite]. It is Dr. Mulholland’s job to rise to the challenge and deter the new enemy. I don’t think it will be too difficult. She just needs to tap into more Lemony Goodness, like was summoned via her magic (if cursed) purse before. Dr. Mulholland (and the dealie with the acquired purse) has allowed Baker Blinker to assume her correct role as (background) Queen of Collagesity, and escort of Karoz Blogger. Their permanently joined existence has branched off from the main one we still follow in Collagesity, now attached fairly firmly to BoB and all that entails.

Speculations: Lime Lite (LL) stands, at least partially, for Linden Labs (also LL), which took over the Second Life grid formerly occupied by People of Lemon, who could taste, touch, smell, but had less options for teleportation, flying, and other “superhero” powers avatars take for granted now in that virtual reality. It was more rooted in *our* world (First World), to put it another way. A hidden portal exists between Chester and BoB, allowing entities to move between the two. The portal measures about 3×5 inches for now, but is sure to change in dimension and power in the future.

Carr.:

Collagesity follows BoB, yes, into the future. Dr. Mulholland trains. Dr. Mulholland protects. Lime Lite must be destroyed. Lemony Goodness prevails. It all goes down in the next 8 months. Afterwards: freedom. Use the tension to your advantage. Grow into new responsibilities as a *synchronicity artist*. You know your role. Be kind to those who don’t and aren’t able to understand what you stand for. What you *are*.

BB:

What I art?

Carr.:

Precisely.

Another landmark oddity in Bigfoot, just below the Plateau of Raw Art. I should get a name for it. The object lies on the new Picked-Out Trail I found a couple of weeks back running just below the plateau on its eastern slope, just hidden within the forest. A number of additional junk items has already been procured utilizing this path and taken to Bigfoot Proper.

Bigfoot Center. This day I cleaned off the top of the spool table so that it can dry out better after rainy periods, and also perhaps serve as a writing table in the future. Like I said, Bigfoot seems to be growing up into something beyond the happening last fall. Tigers may also be involved.

Two clover flowers discovered at Mina’s Pool below the Bigfeet Swamp intake.

Bigfeet Swamp across the top of its cattails. A small, central willow of the marsh pokes above them in the background.

That now cleared spool table again.

Bigfoot’s “port” at Leola Creek to the east. This is the spot on the creek most hidden from prying eyes of apartment dwellers to the south and north. Grassy (Island) is dead center, lying directly west from the middle of a similarly, grass populated shoreline.

Interesting uprooted tree across the creek.

*Ooh*. One of those light slashes! LINK Aliens?

A barrel and a yellow chair also found across the creek from “Port Leola”. Preliminary judgement has the uprooted tree pictured above marking the northern boundary of the port, and the barrel here defining a complementary, southern limit.

Heart’ o’ Grassy.

Other rocks in this hidden zone.

If I had lots of time on my hand, may be cool to do a much scaled down project in Bigfoot similar to what this English university professor did in her own limited “field”.

Looking across Bigfeet Swamp from a location on its banks I’ve been calling Vincent. I’ll have to make a new map of the area soon and scan it for this blog.

Fallen branches, like they were laid there as a message.

More interesting stuff: 4th Road seems to be freer of branches since my last visit, and can more safely be used as part of the path circling around the swamp. It’s like someone came through here and cleared it out a bit. Given that something I hid under a rock was subsequently extracted and put in the middle of the path I use to access Bigfoot, there may be more oddness going on here. Are “forces” telling me where to create paths (etc.)? Could be.

Besides balls, there are also lots of interesting rocks in Bigfoot, this one found on 4th Road on the Bigfeet Swamp banks opposite Bigfoot Proper.

Other side of the Bigfeet Swamp outtake, which I can’t comfortably access in the late fall/winter/early spring. Now that the leaves are fully out I am considerably more protected from prying eyes and can risk a photo.

In the past, someone has created these stepping stones up to the swamp. The path has probably been forgotten over time — only I may know about it now. But it’s interesting that the swamp might have been more visited before my arrival.

The outtake of the swamp quickly reaches Leola Creek, which also runs through the heart of my Blue Mtn. Urban Landscape and acts as its spine or backbone.

I’ve now identified a small area of Leola Creek just west of the swamp that can safely be accessed in warmer months. More on that soon, but I’ll leave you with some pictures of rocks in this “safe zone”.

I believe these are little salamanders in Mina Sauk Pool (or Mina’s Pool) at Bigfoot. Nifty. Wonder what percentage will live to adulthood? Probably not that big a chunk.

A prominent, partly moss covered rock on a mudbar at the pool, surrounded by buttercups.

The seemingly unusual outtake of Bigfeet Swamp again, standing ever-picturesque.

As my readers probably have grasped now, there are many kinds of sports balls to be found in and around Bigfoot. Here’s a football.

Perhaps the biggest news ’round Bigfoot this spring is the foothold of another “community” in the area. Right now I’m calling it Chester. LINK The centerpiece so far is some kind of larger pot or container found at the Plateau of Raw Art recently, seen here in the distance. A new Bigfoot path, which I can walk in the summer, has been traced to its former location below the old high school track. Preliminary name: Picked Out Trail.

Chester is on 3rd road, if we count the 4th road as the one almost encircling the swamp. It represents one of the most tucked away portions of Bigfoot as a whole. I’m not sure Chester will be further developed this spring/summer, but the potential is there. Will I soon move in marbles? toys? more junk? We’ll see.

Below we look into “The Bramble” protecting Chester from northern incursions. And 3rd Road is rather clogged with fallen pine branches and trunks in the other direction, so more barriers. Difficult to see anyone happening upon this place by accident.

Back at Mina’s Pool or Mina Pool: More plants on a pebbly beach.

I almost stepped on this snake walking around the swamp. Garter snake — very common here in Blue Mountain and one I run across frequently. Not a large snake and quite unscary.
