My photos didn’t come out as well this weekend because of the intense sun, but I wasn’t complaining much(!) Another beautiful day in Middletown, with highs in the upper 70s as I recall. All of these except the final pic come from First/Prime again, like a more interesting pebble beach in Secondary’s orange Prime Stream…

… a nearby orange bottle in same…

… bricks in same — this is a natural fording place in the stream again LINK…

… and then the intense orange seepage of Violet into Prime, once more. Compare with here. LINK

We move now to the very center of First/Prime on the main path running through it. Someone has obviously gathered these sticks together, perhaps for the purpose of creating or reinforcing a bridge over Prime in this location.

Downstream, we come into relative wilderness again. This is an interesting photo because of the creek stone on the lower right, which contains a mysterious, central hole. Notice also the rock colored bottle, as if it is trying to fit or blend in with its differently constituted neighbors.

A line of somewhat darker rocks in the same general region. I’m not sure if these were lined up by human hands or not…

Nearby driftwood piece in the stream.

We’ve now moved just a little further downstream where Prime Stream (left) meets up with First Creek (top). Notice that First Creek appears to be the larger of the two at this juncture. Together they continue onward as perhaps First/Prime Creek/Stream, despite the name awkwardness. We’ll see…

An open meadow is found across from the juncture, which up until a year or two ago, contained a small house. A family named Hart may have lived in this house for a short time. I’ll attempt to get more clarification on that soon.

One of two mysterious, brick composed pits found near the Greenway on the southern edge of First/Prime. Since rungs appear on the side of each, apparently for descending purposes, we can assume these were originally much deeper. Did the two entrances, about maybe 50 feet apart, even connect to each other at one time?

A nearby First/Prime gully with large, spanning tree trunk.

Forest Falls, which is *not* a part of First/Prime but still represents a local phenomenon — about 7 miles ne of Future House in this case.

Conclusion for now: First/Prime is just small enough to fly under the radar of hiker/biker attention but large enough to create a super interesting microcosm for present and future consideration.

Hucka D.:

Do you really want to know? You’re telling yourself here.

bb:

Not really.

Hucka D.:

Good. But this is *symbolically* it. This is where *it* will happen. When you do that the whole area will be energized. It will be forever. Prepare. That is where you will lay down.

bb:

I am Taum Sauk.

Hucka D.:

You are all toy avatars. You are the King. Joined with the Queen. Planted. In the ground. By an agriculturalist. Tyle from TILE. Tyle is down to earth. Ground. TILE is too up in the air. You will return. It will end.

bb:

The *house*. The house will live on.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

Hucka D.:

You might as well say this is Pluto and move on. Pluto and Moon together.

bb:

Thus: Sharon.

Hucka D.:

You better speak, then, to Carrcassonnee, who is Sharon. Incarnate.

Carr.:

When Secondary is born, the moon complements and cools the sun. The sun dies and is reborn in an honorable fashion. Flares are in.

Hucka D.:

I’m back! First/Prime is obviously long term. Who created the clear space at Secondary? Is it a lair of a Mossman? Bigfoot I meant there. Am I *Carrcassonnee*?

bb:

Don’t know, Hucka D. The clear space LINK is obviously not of ordinary composition. It is art… Bigfoot art. I would guess it may be the dwelling spot of toy avatar Taum Sauk in a new incarnation.

Hucka D.:

Take him down there[ to Middletown]. Take pictures. Poison ivy will be out very soon. You’ll have to shift to Bigfoot, then. Develop *that* mythology as well. The Ridge. Rediscovery. It’s all connected. Hand Lake.

bb:

Can you speak more of First/Prime?

Hucka D.:

A *big* subject. Where do you spend time after death? There? Afterdeath, like AfterMASH.

bb:

I think I’m setting myself up from future to past. Middletown is, long run, a stronger energy than Blue Mtn. We probably lived in places like Middletown before.

Hucka D.:

Bath. Another paradise town. But in the meantime… the crop circles.

bb:

I *revealed* the crop circle fascination to family last week, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Nice. Now they know. And facebook for Collagesity Winter 2015-2016. I’m in it!

bb:

Not a starring role, but… yes, you’re definitely there.

Hucka D.:

Next time[ around] give me more lines.

bb:

All…

Hucka D.:

All you’s can do is focus on Middletown from the combined strength of Future Home and First/Prime and Secondary within. Secondary strengthens Primary now. Green-orange-violet on top of Red-yellow-blue. 1930. Bogota 01 (?).*

bb:

Unsure.

• Clear Space is seen background left in the above collage, although I didn’t realize it at the time of the snapping.

An empty field. Devoid of small house now. Devoid of beating. An empty field, on the edge of which meets First and Prime. Which came first? Which is prime?

Whatever, First/Prime continues on in merged fashion, soon crossing under the road named Grassy. It will never reach Greenway just to the south, however. That is not in its story. This is more a Grassy domain. Secondary takes Grassy thru Prime and turns it into Oglethorpe in ancient, 1930 times. Pluto is revealed. Adult Swim.

Moving now to the middle of Middletown, I found these toy avatar displays surrounding three planted trees.

\

It brought it all down to Earth again. Tyle; Clear Space again, and filling it all in. Sun into Moon.

We shift now to First Creek in the next valley west of Prime Stream, so named because, coming from the direction of Future Home, it would be the first stream encountered in the protected wilderness.

Vegetation here is quite different from Prime Stream. More ivy. More plants in general. It’s also closer to civilization. First Creek cannot be a *prime* focus because of that. Prime is prime; it is what it is. But since I’ve taken these pictures, I’ve also determined that the region I’ve named Secondary within this Prime is also not prime. It also is what it is. And it’s like Second Life now in relation to Prime or Real Life. The latter must take the upper hand. I must not forget about the real. That’s the message I’m receiving.

The First/Prime Path runs through the area, connecting wilderness and the Greenway with civilization in this direction. This is a bridge over First, compliment to the bridge over Prime we’ve just seen. Bikers *do* still use this path, as I witnessed last Saturday. The biker didn’t see me, however, as I squatted in hiding on the edge of Prime Prime, taking it all in.

And the spot pictured below is very near where I was squatting and observing. Here we start with the central mysterious of Prime. The primary part of Prime, as stated. I cannot speak to it much yet, except to say that from the Prime Bridge on down to where Prime Stream meets First Creek is the focus. Real life focus.

Mystery bridge of Prime Prime, presently without real life function.

Prime Prime forest of club moss with accompanying holed tree.

Objects in the stream below.

A blurred tree.

A nearby rocky beach.

A larger stone in Prime just downstream from the beach.

Downstream from that: a tangle, a mess. This is the beating h(e)art of Prime Stream?

Secondary’s violet seep again, looking across it toward Prime Stream. The landmark circle of plants which I think is club moss now can still be spotted in the background.

Suspiciously rounded knot on a nearby log.

Reminds me of a globe. Does it stand for some kind of world, perhaps of alien source?

Giedi Prime from David Lynch’s “Dune”

And then we come to the mysterious bare spot next to the still unnamed violet seep, very golden in color. There’s no other such cleared spot that I could find in this forest — unique, then. Good news: I will probably get to visit Middletown and this area again on Saturday, and will have more pictures to share after that. Yippie! Expanding this new mythology is so much fun.

Looking south over the seep toward Prime Stream.

Details of seep. Perhaps hypnotic in design. Perplexing color and textures up close. It appears violet but then it’s also orange-brown?

A brick appears on the edge of the cleared space, also colored brown like the ground. Why so? And does it represent a *dwelling* place, like bricks did in the Fall 2015 toy happened I named Bigfoot, most prominently for star Taum Sauk?

Another picture of that ford I mentioned in the First/Prime 02 post.

Obviously many mysterious remain to be uncovered about Secondary, but for now we must move on…

Here’s a shot of the most central bridge crossing Prime Stream a bit south of what I’ve defined as Secondary, with the attached path still being used as a bike route by locals. The path essentially bisects the First/Prime area into north and south regions. My educated guess is that bike paths use to be more extensive in the area.

I returned to the First/Prime stream area this past beautiful sunny March Saturday. I found out more. Below we have where the First/Prime path crosses Greenway, and right on the Bentmore-Future Home line as mentioned previously LINK. A set of rocks mark the path on either side of Greenway.

Many more rocks dot the area, including a more interesting one pictured below. Probably soon enough I’ll have names or at least exact locations on a map for all the prominent rocks of First/Prime.

There are or were obviously squatters in the region. This is the second (and larger) former (?) campsite I found along or near Greenway. The homeless population of Middletown is a large problem, not the least for me and my woods prying ways. I seem to know *exactly* where their camps are. I *think* like the homeless; are in sync with them in terms of hunting for places in the woods and wilderness. I might just have to make friends with some of them. I’m also thinking that graffiti artists are camping in the area at times. Might run into them some too. Will have to deal with that as well.

I will reinforce: the place of this campsite is a *point of power* in the region. The camp seems abandoned. Do I create a cleanup? Does this represent legitimate “junk” that I can make an art happening with? These are the questions I am facing. I have to make new happening rules to conform with different Middletown energies.

Interesting ravines and old roads are multiple.

Other objects dot the area.

Below is what appears to be a more swampy source of Prime Stream, beyond Grassy (road) and what I had explored several days before. Much ivy is in the area, but not, at least presently, the poison variety. Ivy ivy, the good kind.

This is Grassy where Prime Stream passes under it to snake toward the intersection with First Stream about a 1/4th of a mile beyond.

Another rock.
