Whitehead X-ing Photos 05

A quartz formation on one of the larger rocks of this line-up, perhaps the largest overall. Again: no name yet.

Close up.

Split second later comes this close up in sun.

Old, rotten pots near Hucka Doobie’s 50 bottles.

And here we come to another oddity. How did this pine cone get trapped by these 2 branches simultaneously? Fact is, it most likely couldn’t; someone or something placed it there. We must first turn to an alien style explanation of course. Yes, I believe it to be (yet another) sign from The Other in The Woods.

This is the east part of the larger of the 2 sticks holding the cone. The upturned end of the stick at the top of this photo creates a more unusual Crossing formation called The Aardvark, or perhaps just Double A.

Here’s the same from a slightly higher camera angle. To the right is The Pendulum Stick already discussed before here.

Longer cone trapping stick looking the other direction, or toward the west. Pine cone itself exists upper left center.

Long Stick (think I’ll just name it that) bends several smaller trees with its weight. Interesting effect.

The Aardvark accompanied by a little white rock, on the other side of the small tree from it. Just to note: together this tree and Aardvark make an “X”, as in The Crossing itself. Microcosm of some sort?

More interesting rock found on the way down from Howl’s Knob and back to the Maine Trail.

‘Nother object (star-like piece of wood) found in same area.

More tombstone rocks. Things are everywhere!

A neighborhood of mayapples.

Another potentially important rock of the Whitehead X-ing area: Crushed Man Rock. It exists just up the Howl’s Knob ridge from the Main Trail, a bit west and north of The Crossing proper. We’ll come back to that.

Bright orange tree trunk rot.

Back on the edges of Whitehead X-ing now, on the old road formerly leading into it.

The road is totally clogged with rhododendrons in several spots, including toward its beginning where it forks off from Maine Trail.

Perhaps the remains of an old toy avatar fort just off this road.

Line of rocks leading into the heart of The Crossing. We’ve discussed these rocks a bit before here. Still no name for them yet.

Tombstone rocks once more.

Central tree once again. This appears to be the tip top of the peak.

Looking down the length of this tree toward the roots.

On the other side of it, I spied what seemed to be a purposely positioned pile of bark. I’ll get back to that in a moment.

There were some vines in the region, and the same species that inhabits Whitehead X-ing’s Vineland or Vinland.

I took two rocks up to the peak, both found just off the Maine Trail, at what might have been the old entrance to what I’m calling the Dogpatch cemetery. I decided to leave one of these rocks, a more rounded one, on this peak, placing it in a depression in the ground and making sure I wasn’t crushing any small plants.

Then I decided to move to rock under the base of a nearby fallen tree. It was only then that I realized this tree was the same one with the seemingly carefully placed pieces of bark upon it.

I don’t think this to be an accident. It is a message. I’m not sure if the message is “merely”, “We knew you would come here,” or if there’s something deeper to it. I’m thinking the former. Two pieces might not have cut the deal. 3 pieces of a similar size, arranged like this, is beyond suspicion to me.

The tree’s orange-y underbelly from more of a distance.

A pointing branch indicated a quite peculiar pattern on one of the trees of this “Howl’s Peak”. Not sure still what this is. I’ll have to take a closer look soon, maybe this coming weekend.

This root formation is found on the most central and fallen tree of the peak, basically bisected by the top.

Another tombstone rock…

… and more.

More peculiar root formation perhaps, like an amorphous ghoul wearing some kind of hat.

I couldn’t get a really good picture of what could be the largest, exposed root system on the peak. But here it is anyway.

‘Nother one.

I believe this is the end of that central peak tree again.

Whitehead X-ing Photos 01

We now move into the heart of Spring hiking season, and a more detailed look at The Crossing. What interesting things discovered this year! I’ve been looking back on WH X-ing notes from before, and they all seem to come mid to late Spring, and build upon each other in ways still not completely understood. We start with a hemlock near Maine Trail. And already I am unsure about a terminology: Is the *main* path around Martin Knob and past Whitehead Crossing the *Maine* Trail? Or is the Maine Trail just the pseudo-trail running through Whitehead X-ing itself, an offshoot of this overarching main trail? Decision time, then.

Or not.

Nearby rock to the above pictured hemlock. No name for this either.

Smaller rock next to it looking like a tombstone, one of many such rocks in the area.

Just turning around in my place, I believe, I took this picture of rocks in rhododendron. I’m always on the lookout now for hidden cemeteries, gasp! But this isn’t one of ’em.

Another rock in the same area. This is also just west of the old, grown up road that leads to Whitehead Crossing.

Okay, what’s the name of the trail, baker? I ask myself. Is *this* the Maine Trail? Alright, I think it has to be. I’ll just have to rename the Whitehead X-ing trail something else. Hey… what about, duh, the Whitehead X-ing Trail? Or just Crossing Trail? At any rate, the latter is not quite fully mapped out. But the below pictured trail is now definitely (?) the Maine Trail. It passes through these rocks just uphill from the hemlock and accompanying stones in the above photos.

This day I was confident enough in the healing progression of my back to hike up to the ridge above The Crossing, a climb of maybe 150 feet or so. On the way up I took this picture of another “tombstone” rock.

Hiking up. Directly ahead is the Woods of Howl pine forest, traditionally haunted.

On the crest of the ridge, with a bramble of briars clogging the far side. No possible way down through that.

This is the top of the ridge, which forms a small peak separate from the main thrust of Martin Knob to the north and west. No name for it yet, unless I decide to call it Howl Knob. There are many fallen pines on this peak, and the upturned roots with their embedded rocks tend to form very interesting displays.

“We have… 03

“Hucka D., this collage just gets deeper and deeper potentially. First off, the middle of the collage seems to create an animation, since I can’t decide whether to ultimately keep the Green Man and Painting Woman w/ easel within. That’s the first odd thing. But then today, this morning, decided that this middle can be overlapped with the 4 Sticks phenomenon of Maryland/Pennsylvania. If so, the collage acts as a window into GNIRPS, um, a portal. Let me insert the little overlap I came up with. The original discussion of the 4 Sticks MD/PA material is here.

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/whitehead-x-ing-notes/

Then I did some editing, reduced the overall picture to 75 percent, and overlapped it in the most logical way I could find with “Rock, His Story.”

Then I recreated the 4 Sticks in a clean picture.

A clue for doing this, or a cue I suppose, was that Russell, the child in Up, uses Kevin as stilts in the middle portion of the collage. It was a small, logical jump to incorporating Stiltz, Pennsylvania/Maryland, since I’d already assoc. that town with stilts — up and down sticks as it were. But the cool thing is that you can align the central line, with the upper part at *Sticks* (Pennsylvania), with the central stick of the collage, the one Rock emphasizes by climbing up it, and also, now, acts as a symbol of the Green Lego Man’s spinal chord, it appears. Roller at the bottom then also becomes a stick, but a large one, more commonly called a log, which, because of its breadth, can often *roll*. Roller = green lined log at the bottom of “Rock, His Story”. Hucka D.? Hmm, maybe not awake yet. Anyhoot, then Lineboro is to the left to complete the 4 compass directions. As Kevin is equated with Boss Moss, since both donate one eye to a composite being, then the angular, similarly sized Freakie peaking out from behind the tree to the left would represents his double and opposite, as we’ve already spoken about before. This is Lineboro.

If we simply reverse the collage [and toggle back and forth], more interesting things happen.

The pivot point of the 4 Sticks insert becomes not the center of the lines, but Sticks, Pennsylvania at the top. It waggles around this stable point. The 4 Sticks dude revolving around himself is overlapped with the actual 4 Sticks region of Whitehead X-ing to the right in the original. Dorothy finds an obvious double in Wythe’s Christina, Baker b. coming out of the rocketship overlaps Baker Bloch on the bottle — direct hit there.

—–

Hucka D. (now studying this information as well):

The colorful Kevin bird seems to double for the likewise colorful Contraption behind it. I think it’s a comment on the latter — former to latter. Kevin is a unique, exotic bird. The world at large does not even believe such a bird exists. Yet Charles Muntz has devoted his life to prove otherwise, in his vanity. He wishes to capture Kevin to show the world that he’s not a fraud. Kevin is the Contraption. (pause) Kevin is freaky like Boss Moss, then. 2 Freaks; a composite one freak, each donating an eye. Eye eye. Boss Moss freed from his box existence represents Kevin in the wild, his home, and not captive like Muntz would desire. He’s a Tall Cool One, so another Lead Zeppelin, Robert Plant Variant reference. Nice. Like Big Log, which will come later[ in a later carrcass, Hucka D. probably means here]. Boxed Boss Moss (and by assoc., a captive Kevin) stands for slavery, like in the South below the Mason-Dixon Line in the antebellum times. Opposite of freedom.

—–

“[Elton John’s] Philadelphia Freedom, Hucka D., must represent freedom of the African-American peoples. *This* collage will be in GNIRPS.”

Hucka D.:

Has to be[ now].

bb:

Rock climbing up the stick is like slaves climbing north to freedom. A struggle, sometime Herculean, but ultimately worth it. Climb up!

Hucka D.:

Rock straddles the line. Elton John in Philadelphia Freedom mode assists. Can I be of assistance today?

bb:

4 Sticks dude somehow manipulating the colorful contraption beside Elton probably represents Muntz again and entrapment/slavery. 4 Sticks plays in Carrcass-3 as Kevin escapes Muntz and his dogs, lead by a Black Dog.

(to be continued?)

The first “WIS” map (but not the last?).

“WIS”, pronounced like “wiz” (center center), is the 3rd, hidden element of the triangle whose 2 known points are Health [Lake] (right center) and Wealthy [Mtn.] (top center). We do not even know what kind of element WIS is presently. It is a black hole I believe Hucka D. wants to say here. WIS exists in the gap between Herman Park, seen as north in the above map, and Frank Park, south on the map. I am not unconvinced that Whitehead Crossing (SW of WIS) won’t be the main station for these parks in future times, as I move more out in the woods at retirement (8 years if all goes well; *I* will be the Whitehead in the Woods (!)). WIS is close to Whitehead Crossing but not the same. WIS is close to Wealthy Mtn. but not the same. Close to Health Lake but… not the same. It is in a gap in a map which does not logically make sense topographically but does psychologically. It is a hole that everything folds around, like flower petals.

All I can do is move from Frank/Herman Park focus to Frank/Herman Park focus. A new focus is Falmouth Creek (lower right corner of map). I’ve now determined that the original village on this creek was called Old Baker Settlement. I have a rough picture for now; it exists in the basic center of Falmouth Creek, about equidistant from both source and mouth. Old Baker Settlement, or what remains of it (ruins) is white-ish rocks in a moss bank below a clump of trees.

We’ll get to more of the story behind Old Baker Settlement (OBS) shortly. Hopefully I’ll be able to take more pictures of Falmouth this weekend, despite the continued cold weather, PHEH. On the bright side, I’m definitely going to England once more. I had a panic attack in the middle of the night, and started thinking negatively about the trip. Now I’ve turned around again. Analysis of Falmouth collages is helping. Falmouth is centering — in Avebury. Might Avebury have something to do with Old Baker Settlement?

Falmouth, Indiana which lies on the line between Rush County (west) and Fayette County (east) was originally called Old Baker Settlement. That’s obviously where I got the name. The synchronicity to this, ‘coz there’s always synchronicities when it comes to Frank and Herman Park names it seems, is that the ridge separating Falmouth and Second Life Pond (named later) acts as a peculiarly extended *block* between more public land around that pond and Falmouth Creek, essentially and effectively isolating the creek while allowing it to be quite proximate to tourist attractions in Frank Park, Second Life Pond basically. So I decided to name this ridge Block Ridge, then remembering Old Baker Settlement as an original name for a US Falmouth, decided to change this to Bloch Ridge, after my main Second Life avatar Baker Bloch. Second Life Pond, lying on the other side of this ridge from Falmouth Creek, is named immediately after this, then. Second Life Pond is the origin place for not only Baker Bloch but also Baker Blinker, who was my original, dominant Second Life avatar during my first half year or so of involvement in that virtual reality. When I moved to mainland SL from Azure Islands in Fall 2008, Bloch, the male, took over as the dominant one. The story of my avatars is found in the Where Are We On That art exhibit I still have up in my flickr site. Accompanying the first two stories about Baker Blinker and Baker Bloch in that exhibit is a 3rd story about Hucka Doobie, in case you’ve ever wondered about *his* origins (this is the same as Hucka D.), and then Esbum Michigan and Wilsonia Foxclaw, my final two avatars I was using at the time. After the exhibit was created, I made 2 more Second Life avatars: Karoz Blogger (formed right after the exhibit) and, about a year later, my last one called Bracket Jupiter.

Hucka D.:

I heard my name and woke up. Howdy baker b. Heard you talked to Headburro Antfarm for the first time in a long time.

bb:

Yes. I just asked him if there’s a virtual reality out there to rival Second Life yet, at least as far as making pictures and galleries go. He suggested Minecraft, but I’m not sure it is a rival yet to SL, or will be in the future. The best hope is to attach something directly to a web browser, with a first person viewpoint and simply getting rid of the avatar.

Hucka D.:

But that wouldn’t be any fun.

bb:

Maybe not for me, but it would make things easier for people to see your work.

Hucka D.:

Oh you can’t do that. You have to have Second Life. What about the Pietmonds??

bb:

Yeah. Not sure. But back to Falmouth, if you want to talk about them. Second Life Pond, a logical name for reasons I can’t go into here involving the *actual* name of the pond. Another virtual reality.

Hucka D.:

Maybe that should be your new virtual reality. Is it still around?

bb:

Check the link I just made with your last sentence.

Hucka D.:

I’ll check it later. It was just a rhetorical question anyway. Second Life began in that pond in Frank and Herman Parks. Bloch Ridge blocked Baker Blinker from proceeding over the hill to Falmouth. Only Baker Bloch exists in the attached collage series[ Falmouth 02 and Falmouth 04]. Falmouth 01 02 03 04 is Old Baker Settlement. So, yeah, it *is* the same as Avebury, if you will. Falmouth is Avebury.

bb:

There’s Lean Rock in the creek just below OBS.

There was the mysterious writing “Fi” in a rhododendron leaf at OBS as well.

Hucka D. (guessing):

Hifi. Or High Five.

bb:

This is a picture of a cascade on a creek just north of Falmouth, just over another ridge, or I gues it is an extension of the same ridge [Bloch Ridge]. This creek lies between Falmouth and Gnirps.

Hucka D.:

That’s a pretty cascade. A popular vacation spot for toy avatars, much like Gnirps nearby. They stay away from Second Life Pond and Second Life Creek, however, because of the humans. Humans and toy avatars as yet do not mix.

bb:

I can imagine. So there are toy avatars at Falmouth?

Hucka D.:

Oh yes. Mouse and Shark. Bart and Lisa. Baker Bloch and Baker Bloch. Red Lion man/woman and Man/Woman. Hand. Non-President R. Booger Hayes. Sunfish. Patrick Star and his friends. Lots of toy avatars.

bb:

So it’s the same as the characters in the Falmouth collage series. The 2 Baker Blochs which are actually different Baker Blochs, for example.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Non-President Booger Hayes wants to speak with us again soon. He has some ideas about Falmouth.

bb:

What of the other parts of Falmouth presently? — Visible I., Stream’s End, the unnamed spring which contains the mossy bank with *no* rocks, unlike OBS.

Hucka D.:

That’s a black hole. And the spring is a black hole. Rush.

bb:

How about X-Ray. Or Ray-dium, the follow-up?

Spacial, er Special

When people ask me about the spacial relationships between Frank and Herman Park locations I mention in this and the Baker Blinker Blog, I usually tell them to f— off.

Hucka D.:

Wise decisions. But this time you’re showing a map. Why? Is it because you’ve found *the center*? Have you found the heart of the heart of Frank and Herman Parks, baker b.?

bb:

Not sure about that, Hucka D. But I think I’ve found Diamond. The legendary Diamond. Priceless indeed. We know from long ago that Frank Park has a set price, a very high price but a figure can be named, given enough time. Herman Park is in contrast priceless. Now I’ve found the priceless Diamond, but inside Frank Park. It should have been in Epsi but instead there I find a piece of ordinary glass with the word “Epsi” on it — “P” removed.

Hucka D.:

That’s then also Pepsin, baker b.

bb:

I get that. With an extra letter instead of a letter removed.

Hucka D.:

Dirty Dozen.

bb:

So instead of Coke, Virginia next to Ordinary and Glass, it should have been Pepsin. But the words were switched, and Pepsin moved to Missouri and positioned near Diamond, close enough for me to make the association. But The Diamond is that special special rock in Methril, Hucka D. Obvious now that I’ve revisted the place and taken blog pictures. Next might be a marble race event.

Hucka D.:

I think you have to. Interact with the energies of the hill in that way.

bb:

And I think there may even be some kind of Bee’s Line up there, Hucka D. Can you tell me more as of now? Since I probably won’t be able to get up there for about 2 weeks at least.

Hucka D.:

Methril will throw open doors. Make you forget about the aliens on Bill Mountain. That’s the main purpose, or a main purpose. The Diamond was held in reserve. You knew about it but you didn’t really *know* about it.

Welcome Back!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithril#Abundance

In Tolkien’s Middle-earth, mithril is extremely rare by the end of the Third Age, as it was now found only in Khazad-dûm. Once the Balrog destroyed the kingdom of the Dwarves at Khazad-dûm, the only source of new mithril ore was cut off. Before Moria was abandoned by the Dwarves, while it was still being actively mined, mithril was worth ten times its weight in gold.[2] After the Dwarves abandoned Moria and production of new mithril stopped entirely, it became priceless.
