Defender of The Depression (actually it’s an extremely rusty oil can).

Stones of Bedrock’s stream crossing.

Two identical guardian bushes of Bedrock, one light and one dark, like the pillars of Boaz and Jachin.

Platform area above Bedrock, once more.

Leafless tree across the goldenrod filled meadow from here.

Rusted out barrel in the meadow just above the center of Dark Space/Brownie.

Some scenes from the old Michael Too campground situated upon a ridge on the other side of the mountain, also visited on this same hike.

I’m counting 9 rocks now on Michael’s rock table, with Hucka Doobie’s impressive yellow quartz formation [LINK] still missing. Where did it go??

The central, dark object is just a piece of projecting bark, but doesn’t it look like some kind of unlit, foreboding spirit from this angle?

Rock below Michael Too giving the appearance of a log; in fact, I thought it was a log upon first glace. Log Rock it is, then. Might be connected with VWX Town’s Big Log pictured in the blog post below this. Big Log = BLog?

My ailing mother appears to be making a recovery. I know she is attempting to avoid a nursing home/assisted living situation as much as possible. She needs to take her vitamins so she won’t be so weak. She’s doing well, very well… for a 92 1/2 year old. This weekend I will be down with her again.

For lack of time, let’s go ahead and call in Hucka D. if he’s around. Hucka?

Hucka D.:

Hi baker. Good job with your mom. You got rewards points.

bb:

Thanks, Hucka D. Not out of the woods yet.

Hucka D.:

No, back *in* the woods. This weekend.

bb:

We’ll see. So, Green Oz Creek. That’s been the focus around this time of year 3 years in a row now, Hucka D., starting in 2011. And that initial focus was also the beginning of the obvious shift from Second Life to Real Life exploring for blog recording purposes. Each “passage” through Green Oz and Green Oz Creek as a whole bring more understand, more focus to the overall picture. It is a large story. Now, although Green Oz Creek has been a September focus the last several years, it’s also shifted, itself, into other stories during October and November. First we have, as I’m sure you’ll remember, the shift of Green Oz energy into norris or NORRIS or Norris.

Hucka D.:

My ex!

bb:

Yes… to the reader or readers, Hucka D. was actually married to this creek for a spell, according to him.

Hucka D.:

Truth!

bb:

That was 2011, when we were still working within the framework of the Baker Blinker Blog.

Hucka D.:

Yeah.

bb:

Then in 2012, and at the start of the current Frank and Herman Einstein blog, we shift an initial focus on Green Oz Creek into *Byng*, yet another stream. This involved the creation of the Lion’s Roar community and also the development of the Kentucky Platform and its Bee Line, etc.

Hucka D.:

Good times.

bb:

Now in 2013 we have the same situation: Green Oz Creek, in September, once again is in the blog spotlight, the blog crosshairs. Actually I don’t like that latter expression.

Hucka D.:

No.

bb:

What will it shift into *this* year? What will be my fall hiking focus, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

Opening the presents before Christmas are we?

bb:

Attempting to. Okay, you probably can’t tell me.

Hucka D.:

Green Oz Creek will continue to be the focus this time of year. Year after year after year. Tin Commandment: Love others as you love Yoself. Focus on Gold as original community of Tinsity area. Gold powder… Ark. Tinsity and Tin S. Man had it. The gold was buried, awaiting… (pause)

bb:

Harvest?

—-

bb:

GNIRPS, hehe, isn’t working tonight? What of GNIRPS?

Hucka D.:

Lisa the V. set up with her unlimited wallet, er, purse. Bottomless, I meant.

bb:

And this has to do with Carrcass-1.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Skillet. Skillet Swamp. Green Oz Creek. Wallace. Wallace3. Stares into hole. Greenup, but Yellow Down at the same time. Green Oz is bourne. Wallace.

bb:

Is Wallace an older community than Tinsity?

Hucka D.:

Two in one. Foreign one.

bb:

I’m sensing you cannot answer that quite yet.

Hucka D.:

You have a sign set up on the main path of the area: Tinsity that-a-way. Tinsity directly ahead, 0.2 miles. The sign will be created. At the tree. Sign Tree.

bb:

The Tinsity trail, from this direction, passes through Dark Space. What is the purpose of Dark Space?

Hucka D.:

Barrier. Is Tinsity aligned with Dark Space or not? We don’t know yet. Back to Gold…

bb:

Tinsity is also going to be the name of the last Carrcass, Hucka D. Technically I suppose you would call this one Carrcass-10. But Carrcass-8, Carrcass-9, and Carrcass-10 make a triptych of audiovisual collages, much like the triptych ending the Latona series. Those were collages 8 9 and 10 as well.

Hucka D.:

Carrcasses, a blog term after all, will be seen as a set beginning in “0” and ending in “10”. 8, 9, and 10 will form a collage. The names will be Eight Ball, Number 9, and Tinsity. You start thinking of Tinsity collage as you are exploring Tinsity city in Herman Park at the same time. No chance.

bb:

Do I keep VWX Town around this winter?

Hucka D.:

No.

—–

bb:

Communication between me and the co-worker will start to become limited now, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

As it is.

bb:

He is Tin S. Man.

Hucka D.:

*You* are Tin S. Man. You both are.

bb:

So Tin S. Man… me as the boss of sorts, has his castle still, Hucka.

Hucka D.:

Not saying nothing.

bb:

I’ll have to get [another] student worker. I can’t work there alone.

Hucka D.:

No.

bb:

But back to Green Oz: I believe Wallace3, staring into the hole, saw Greenup and Yellow Down simultaneously. This is like playing a movie both forwards and backwards at once.

Hucka D.:

Yes (!)

Tinsity is about The Shining.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

A new Dark Side of the Rainbow has been created.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

Two in one. Foreign one.

What will be called the traditional entrance to Tinsity according to Hucka D., who is able to peer into the future with his prescient bee vision. Is Tinsity that important? According to Hucka D.: Yes. The trail can be seen to veer off from the carriage road in the lower right corner, next to the barb wire fence. Presently this is only a secondary cow path, with the general public not knowing anything about its ultimate importance. Is it really that important? Yes, answers Hucka D. once more. I’ll just have to take his word for it for now.

The large tulip/poplar tree acts as a nice landmark for the trail’s beginning. Hucka D. further states that this positioning means that the trail will be pop(u)lar in the future. I’ve told him just to stop with the silly puns.

If you continue on the road you’ll soon come to a large meadow region with nice views to be had all around.

If you continue down the Tinsity Trail instead, you’ll soon come to an interesting landscape depression pictured below, of unknown importance or origin. I think Hucka D. wants to revisit this depression in the future. He’s stating something needs to be inserted there. The depression lies directly above one of the several seeps that run down to Green Oz Creek in Yellow Down, perhaps 5 or 6 in number. Will each one garner a separate name?

Holey moley! You can imagine my reaction when I spied this skull across perhaps the same seep lower down, suspiciously well positioned on a small, flat ridge just above. From this angle it certainly looks alien, or at least dinosaur-like. To my relieve (phew!), it’s actually a cow skull turned on its side. But what an illusion, given all else that’s happened in Yellow Down before it! I plan to make a separate posts reviewing photo oddities from this region in the coming days.

This same seep empties into Green Oz Creek very near the previously discussed Rib Rock, already associated with reptiles and dinosaurs through a Flintstone lineage. The ridge with the cow skull is inside the shaded area at the top of this photo.

Green Oz Creek shoreline nearby.

Moving a bit further downstream, we have a photo of 2 more interesting rocks near View Rock, itself perched just above Green Oz Creek below I. Rock. For the record, we presently have 3 named rocks in Yellow Down: View Rock, I. Rock, and Rib Rock. But with more appellations to come, I’m assuming.

Another seep in Yellow Down, this one with an old pot near its leafy source.

View Rock (foreground) and I. Rock (background) together.

Stepping stones across Green Oz Creek leading to “Bedrock”, just off camera to the right here. Yd Falls can be seen in the background. More soon on this Bedrock, seemingly an ancient community of Yellow Down according to Hucka D. Isn’t that right Hucka D.? (Hucka D.: No. I mean, yes.) Anyway, this relates to finding Rib Rock in Yellow Down as well (another Flintstone image: see here), and also the reptilian or dinosaur-like face of I. Rock — along with the very queerly positioned “reptile” skull just up the hill from it. More on that very soon as well. My September experiences in Yellow Down are making for quite a story!

Lichen and moss decorated top of an as yet unnamed, larger rock in Yellow Down, demarking a lower edge of this Bedrock area. More comprehensive picture of this rock here.

Directly above this Bedrock is found an flat, open woodsy area, with several interesting characteristics. Like the below pictured rock with a pile of smaller rocks on top of it…

… and several old but still standing fence posts like this one.

The posts continue through a marshy stream bed below, whose flow then passes through a small grove of rhododendron and into Green Oz Creek about at that rock seen in photo no. 2 above.

Another fence post in the same row.

A huge, dead oak marks the lower corner of the open area; hollow in nature.

Another fence post on the upper end of the same area, laying on the ground near a moss covered stone just beyond the similar stone containing the rock pile mentioned before.

Interesting tree with prominent, downward projecting dead limb sighted across the goldenrod filled meadow from here.
