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?
Heart O’ Herman Park
Since I’ve gotten around to writing the text for this post, the appellations for the lakes pictured below have changed. Head Lake in the map has “reverted” back to Heart Lake, and the actual Head Lake appears to instead be the larger body of water at the bottom of the map, here called Heart Lake. So the two names have been reversed in the meantime. Drink Lake, to the left, will probably be still known as this in future posts, although it is understood that behind-the-scenes planning had it at some point as Hand or Hands Lake. Instead, at some stage in the development, the “Hands” part was moved to the opposite side of the stream in effect, or made the *source* of the stream, hence Hand Spring, which begins with “hands” as well (upper center of map). The implications for this move are quite enormous for the Frank Herman Einstein blog.
And now Bass Ackwards Lake (map’s left) is now called or implied to be Health Lake, completing the 4H analogy. And all this is now directly assoc. with the state of Arkansas through its own, strong 4H resonance, including containing the only US Heath and Heart population centers. Health Lake also could be different from the other 3 named Herman Park lakes in that it might be spinning in an opposite direction from the others, whatever that means. One clue to this is the removal of “Wright” from old 3 leaf clover emblems of the 4H club when a 4th “H” is added, which might mean that the one *left*, the 4th (Health), is spinning in the opposite direction (or opposite of (W)right). But what is this spinning if so? Could it be the direction of time itself?

Hiked…
… Byng today, and the source of the creek. My pictures didn’t really turn out, however, and this is the only one I felt blog worthy…
Still not that great of a picture, but at least it’s somewhat in focus. It’s an interestingly patterned rock found not far from Byng’s source. Afterwards I was pretty close to the top of Wealthy Mtn. so I just huffed on up there, and travelled the edge of Green Oz Valley on the way back to the car. Here’s another picture, from the top…
I don’t think the leaves are going to put on much of a color show this year. Hucka D.?
Hucka D.:
Show them the last picture.
bb:
Okay… (checking) Actually I decided to delete that picture of Wedge with the stuff I found on the ridge above it, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
Where are you headed tomorrow?
bb:
Well I thought I’d just go back to Blyng — Byng — and do some more hiking; take a different angle through the woods.
Hucka D.:
Great. What do you think of Byng?
bb:
I believe it’s a fantastic creek. I’m not sure an art happening will take place there.
Hucka D.:
Oh I think it has to. You’re set up. You have that rock that will protect you in the rain. You have open-ish meadows below. You have the path along the creek up to the impasse, when you can just jump up into the woods and take that mystery path up to the top of Blue Feather Falls…
bb:
That’s the actual name of the falls, Hucka D.? Who named them?
Hucka D.:
Blue Feather of course.
bb:
Blue Feather Douglas? (no answer) So… is the stream itself named Blyng or Byng or something else?
Hucka D.:
Depends on which era you’re talking about. Lisa knows.
bb:
I suppose she would, since she owns the whole mountain.
Hucka D.:
The new blog is good. Away from Second Life.
bb:
Why was it called Byng?
Hucka D.:
Just a name. Like Fred. Or your favorite: Bob.
bb:
The creek has a past, though. I found irritating spray on that mystery path you mentioned. Strange… why would someone carry protecting spray in the middle of the woods when noone was around.
Hucka D.:
Maybe someone was around, then. Maybe there’s your story.
bb:
So a girl use to come to this creek. To get away from… a boy; boys. Brothers?
Hucka D.:
It’s your story.
bb:
I don’t suppose the girl would be Lisa?
Hucka D.:
Might be. She had to come from somewhere.
bb:
But it’s Lisa Simpson; Lisa the Vegetarian.
Hucka D.:
Still she had to get to Wealthy Mountain sometime, somewhere. A girl, living alone on a creek… might feel the need for some kind of protection.
bb:
So this could be Lisa’s home creek of sorts. Hold on, Hucka D.
—–
bb:
Was Lisa scared of this Pete? And the battle map: Was this a battle map to take Wealthy Mountain. From Pete? Or just a plan to take Wealthy Mountain. Who was on Wealthy Mountain before Lisa?
Hucka D.:
Wealthy Mountain, Wealthy Mountain, Wealthy Mountain…
bb:
Well?
—–
Hucka D.:
Spheres. Singing spheres.
—–
bb:
Maybe Pete is a dog — of a more vicious type.
Hucka D.:
Pete Fountain. The dog.
—–
bb:
Tin S. Man seems to predict what I’m going to say in the next email sometimes, Hucka D. This has happened at least twice.
Hucka D.:
Foreshadowing. You are creating synchronicity.
bb:
I deleted the last email.
Hucka D.:
That’s fine. You need to think about Blyng here.
bb:
Is it Blyng or Byng? I think I like Byng better. Or Blynk.
Hucka D.:
Not Blynk. Not that again.
bb:
Byng, like Bing Crosby. Something in the past, several levels or layers before. Byng, Elvis, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Pink… a number of layers before.
Hucka D.:
Peel the onion. Look at the empty pool. Understand that a house was once there. Think about all this. Hike! Happy hiking day number 2!
bb:
Thanks!

Yards Mtn. 03
Continuing with more images from Wedge. 5 Trees just below Wedge or perhaps making up South Wedge. Tilie x 5. Amazing and meaningful. Each of the 5 trees has a spirit? The largest overturned tree is also the lowest. The 5th? Or the first? Akin to Tilie, probably.
A blue and then a purple soda can more in central Wedge. There was an early fight over which color was more important.
A later edition to an area south of Wedge, between Wedge and the road (name of road?). Maybe even yet another rock lineup made by Michael Too, but the possibility is more remote.
Cut sticks in a stack. Perhaps preparation for a camping spot that never materialized, or no clear signs here that I can see.
Interesting rock in the creek that also flows through Wedge just uphill. Name pending. Seems somehow similar to Norris’ Voice Rock for some reason. Maybe about same size and shape.
Another open area beyond the rock pictured above, downhill and to the left of Wedge.
Mushroom from this open area.
Now on the other side of Yards Mtn., we have this nice, large meadow, looking up toward the top of the mountain. Cows graze here. Maybe horses.
Again near the Wedge now, but on the opposite side of the road below it, and on another creek emptying into [ ]. This creek will also figure into the newly developed arm of Herman Park mythology. This depression, I assume, harbours a small pool during rainy periods, but is now devoid of water. It will probably also garner a name eventually.

Yards Mtn. 02
Another quite interesting rock near Herman’s Grave, and I think I *will* call this one Herman Rock. So you have Herman Rock below Herman’s Grave on one side, and then Munster Rock with the too peculiar lighting bolt shaped quartz vein on the other side (see below), making them sort of framing rocks for the grave in toto. Herman+ Munster = Herman Munster.
Sorry… here’s Herman Rock as a whole, then. I didn’t position the 4 small rocks on that ledge; someone else did. More codes to ponder if not to break?
Now moving to the other side and below the grave: Munster Rock.
\
Campfire at the base of the rock.
Closeup of the Lightning Bolt. Since this is quartz again, can it be directly associated with Lisa the Vegetarian? Keep in mind this is not on Wealthy Mtn., however, but neighboring Yards Mtn., that has almost the exact same elevation, though.
Further west and downhill, but still on Yards Mtn. proper, we have this protruding ridge filled with old junk such as bottles, barrels, pots, fencing, tools, and much more. As we shall see, this will most likely become the material for an “art happening” at Wedge in the valley below this and to the north (north side of Yards Mtn.).
Then we move to some pictures within said valley, the first of rock piles closer to the top of the ridge than Wedge…
… and then a shot from Wedge itself: a mossy island in the middle of Wedge’s most central stream flow, as yet unnamed. I would wager a bet that a map of Wedge will be forthcoming.
