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.

After

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 (?).*

First/Prime 05

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?

IMG_1530smaller

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.

IMG_1535smaller

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

First/Prime 04

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.

IMG_1497smaller

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.

IMG_1499smaller

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.

IMG_1500smaller

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.

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.

IMG_1477smaller

Suspiciously rounded knot on a nearby log.

IMG_1479smaller

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

IMG_1480smaller

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.

IMG_1481smaller

Looking south over the seep toward Prime Stream.

IMG_1482smaller

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

IMG_1483smaller

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?

IMG_1488smaller

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

IMG_1491smaller

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

IMG_1492smaller

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.

First/Prime 02

Then we move across Grassy to Secondary, which lies within and also beyond First/Prime. How beyond? Much like the secondary color triad lies both within and beyond the primary triad. Primary *creates* Secondary, as a son/daughter. Internal triangle. So I’ve decided that will be the name for this subregion for now: Secondary. It is featured in what might be the “Bogota 01” collage pictured in preliminary form at the end of this slightly future post. 🙂 Interpretation, thus, to follow, but I’m not sure “Bogota 01” is yet finished. I’m going to treat this collage series a little different from others, perhaps.

IMG_1446smaller

Main green circle (front) mirrored by a second green circle behind it. Represents Green in general. Grassy and Green. Green, green grass of home, etc. Orange Prime Stream is in front of it from this angle. This is near where the Arab-like alien Oglethorpe emerged from this tributary of Grassy and became something else in 1930. Pluto is born, a homeworld. Oglethorpe meets Emery, the green or at least olive representation of Grassy. Between them they create the White Rock or, better, White Stone, which *could* be the same as “Collagesity Winter 2015-2015″‘s Moon of Moon, which becomes the primary Moon in the end. It is squaring the circle (of the moon). It’s lots of things. Moving on…

IMG_1447smaller

A nearby bend in Prime Stream that seems to indicate a natural ford into Secondary.

IMG_1449smaller

Detail of ford.

IMG_1450smaller

Again, Secondary is a combination or fusing of the 3 secondary colors of green, orange and violet. The seep that runs underground into Prime here is the violet part, and appropriately colored. But, ironically (?), the only obvious place I could find where it runs into Prime is colored more orange than Prime Stream itself…

IMG_1451smaller

And if we look closer at this seep, we see streaks of orange as well inside the dominating violet or dark purple.

IMG_1456smaller

On what could be the more western end of Secondary appears this bridge made from a piece of lumber. It really serves no functional purpose. The small creek can be jumped at many places without the aid of a bridge in this location. But, like I said before, there are many bridges over Prime Stream, some of which serve a current function and others obviously not doing so.

IMG_1460smaller

And below we have an example of another ford, with bricks protruding from Prime Stream in this location. Was there once a *brick* bridge at this point? I can’t presently wrap my brain around this creek. It contains deep mysteries, but of a different current than the ones I’m more use to in Blue Mountain (current home).

IMG_1465smaller

Western Secondary.

IMG_1466smaller

A larger Secondary bridge I’ve already taken a picture of for this blog LINK.

And then the end of Prime Stream at Upper Grassy, before it passes under same to reach that more swampy area across the road which seems to represent the brook’s true source (Ivy Marsh?).

First/Prime 01

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.

IMG_1409smaller

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.

IMG_1423smaller

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.

IMG_1428smaller

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.

IMG_1437smaller

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.

IMG_1439smaller

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.

http://aqua-teen-hunger-force.wikia.com/wiki/The_Plutonians

AquaTeen_vol2_plutonians

The Plutonians are two jagged-shaped aliens from the planet Pluto or beyond Pluto.
Contents[show]
CharactersEdit

Oglethorpe (voice of Andy Merrill), the leader, is the obese, orange-colored one who usually comes up with their “plans” for World Domination. Emory (voice of Mike Schatz), his tall green sidekick, who was explained to be partners since college, hooked up by a computer, is the tag-along of Oglethorpe, and usually the one to know when things have gone sour. In “The Last One,” Oglethorpe mentions that he went to high school with Ignignokt, mentioning some kind of incident on the bus. Despite this, the Mooninites think that “Plutonians are teh suck”, which started Spacecataz. The Plutonians’ ship is also, incidentally, Uglor’s ship from Space Ghost Coast to Coast. They can be seen in Master Shake’s pinball machine in Eggball.

TriviaEdit

They are named after the two universities in Atlanta, where Williams Street created Adult Swim.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Oglethorpe

Mount Oglethorpe, the southernmost peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains,[2] is located in Pickens County, Georgia and was the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail from when the trail was completed in 1937 until 1958. In 1958, as a result of over development around Mount Oglethorpe, the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail was moved about 20 miles (32 km) to the northeast to Springer Mountain. Mount Oglethorpe is considered by some to be a more dramatic mountain than Springer Mountain, but the construction of a gravel logging road on the mountain and the development of a number of pungent chicken farms along the route, contributed to the move.

Until 1930, Mount Oglethorpe was called Grassy Knob, but the peak was renamed Mount Oglethorpe in honor of James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto

Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, and was originally considered the ninth planet from the Sun. After 1992, its status as a planet fell into question following the discovery of several objects of similar size in the Kuiper belt. In 2005, Eris, which is 27% more massive than Pluto, was discovered, which led the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to define the term “planet” formally for the first time the following year.[14] This definition excluded Pluto and reclassified it as a member of the new “dwarf planet” category.[15]

Bottom line: Both the (southern) terminus of the Appalachian Trail and our planetary Solar System were shortened by the exclusion of Mt. Oglethorpe and Pluto respectively.  Mt. Oglethorpe changed its named from Grassy in 1930. Pluto was discovered in 1930. (Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s) Oglethorpe is a Plutonian. He’s recently been seen in Collagesity starting here, and directly replacing a grassy colored Karoz at the bottom of Confluence Pool who may realize the same here (?).

Arab:

arab01b

Arab is a way to focus Grassy. Means “Foreign One” or perhaps “Alien”, like a Plutonian.

Blue Mtn.>Middletown (Again)

Development is occurring on the Middletown mythos again. This is the place we’ll most likely be spending our retirement time starting in 7-10 years. Probably more like 7, actually. I had several nice Middletown hikes both this past Saturday (morning) and then again on Monday.

IMG_1317smaller

1st set of shots come from locations along a railroad about 1 1/2 miles south of Future Home. I do not yet have a mythological name for this area, but it’s probably coming. Along the rr I found a more heavily graffitied wall, naturally picturesque.

This kind of sums up the life of a graffiti artist, don’t you think?

IMG_1318smaller

Thick green strokes for this unintelligible scrawl.

IMG_1323smaller

Hobo graffiti ghost? Teaching smaller ghosts about the ethereal art of spray painting?

IMG_1325smaller

I see a number of “B-TEAM’ and “MOMS” on the wall.

IMG_1327smaller

IMG_1329smaller

Another, lower wall along the rr. The creek running through here may be named Hemp, but not totally 100 percent sure of that yet.

IMG_1340smaller

Interesting underpass beneath Superhighway 30 which parallels the rr along this stretch.

IMG_1343smaller

Stairs just beyond. This is an official trail along the Greenway. I should back up here and say that Greenway, Superhighway 30 and the Nowhere River conjunct at this place. LINK

IMG_1344smaller

Underpass pipe with scrawl that’s suppose to be intelligible but still appears cryptic. Not graffiti, obviously, but sharing certain features.

IMG_1345smaller

We now switch to a location considerably closer to Future Home, or what I’m calling First Stream or perhaps Prime Stream (Pream?). Actually there are two streams in the area that combine to form one stream at Upper Mossman Road. So maybe one is First and the other is Prime. So my thinking is that the closest to Future Home is First, and then the twin stream, more protected and hidden in the woods, is Prime.

The Greenway is also very close to First/Prime. A path connects latter to former, running by these more interesting and larger rocks.

IMG_1350smaller

Mysterious bridges span Prime and First at many places. I’ll certainly create a map asap.

IMG_1357smaller

There’s junk in the area. A considerable amount.

Whitehead Crossing, 12/31/15 01

The first shot comes not from Whitehead Crossing but Ashville, where I hiked around about 2 weeks ago. I won’t say exactly where — oh yes, I do have a fake name for the hill I trekked up and down. It’s called Hemp Hill, a potential center for an Ashville mythology. I’ll have more on this knob soon enough; just didn’t want to lose track of the particular photo of it below in the meantime. More on Ashville in this blog here. And I haven’t written about it in so long I forgot *its* true fake name, which is Middletown. Maybe a talk with Carrcassonnee about Middletown is in order. I seemed to have summarized my interactions with it through the Embarras collage series of Jan/Feb *last* year (can’t believe it’s 2016 already!), which contains many images from that city.

IMG_1152smaller

Back to Whitehead Crossing, which I visited both Thursday (12/31) and Friday (1/1) for several hours apiece. And I might even return today and Sun. Of course, this particular area is heavily documented in both the present blog and the old Baker Blinker Blog, starting back in 2010 when I first explored it in general. There is little in the present pictures that hasn’t been documented before in terms of just photographing objects. But it seems when I go back I see things from a different angle, or, better, things *change*, almost of their own volition.

The first photo comes from the Korean Channel just south of Whitehead Crossing proper, depicting some bulbous weeds I thought interesting.

IMG_1162smaller

Then we move to the two giant, dead hemlock trees that mark a sort of gateway into the area, acting like Boaz and Jachin pillars in their dark and light coloring respectively, and positioned on opposite sides of The Crossing’s central Green Stream. This would be in the middle of about a 100 foot straight run of the stream I call, simply enough, The Straightway, which traditionally begins and ends with two islands (Rocky I. and Cresent I.). I say “traditionally” here because the composition, shape, and even locations of the islands can change over time.

IMG_1168smaller

The depression below Crocodile Rock is filled with water. It’s rained quite heavily in Blue Mountain at times during the past week. But often when I visit Whitehead Crossing, it’s dry around this rock.

IMG_1169smaller

IMG_1170smaller

Another shot of the dark and light hemlock trees surrounding Green Stream.

IMG_1171smaller

The Welcome Matt stone, which acts as a set with Crocodile Rock, along with another stone bordering Green Stream called Eagle Rock (I think). All 3 are about equal in terms of surface size, and also lie on the same general line approximately equidistant from each other. I’ll have to remember to take a measuring tape out there sometime to find exact distances.

IMG_1176smaller

We step up from Welcome Matt, and what’s called Matland in general at the top of the Korean Channel, to revisit Whitehead Crossing’s stick teepee next, something built by the hands of unknown others just this past June. I don’t think the structure been used for much of anything since it was constructed, and certainly it was never weatherproofed. I initially feared that someone, perhaps a student at the local collage, would simply move in the teepee for the summer and perhaps longer. But it never happened, and now we just have a useless shell of a thing. I’ve even contemplated knocking the teepee down, but that might bring some kind of bad karma. You have to be careful about altering the nature of the area. The *builders* of the teepee might have “sinned”, but I didn’t want to compound their errors by making judgements of my own.

IMG_1178smaller

Second Life’s Spongeberg Resident, crazily enough, claims to have lived in this teepee for a period of time as well. In fact, I think he might still believe he stays there. Is it true? Again I’ll have to ask Carrcassonnee the next time we speak, perhaps later on tonight. She’s back from her trip to Nautilus City, as I understand.

IMG_1179smaller

If Spongeberg in fact lives there, this would be his view across Matland from just outside the teepee. The 3 rocks mentioned before are basically in line with each other in this view, with Welcome Matt at the bottom of the photo, Crocodile Rock beneath the small, dead hemlock near the picture’s center, and Eagle Rock unseen beneath a stream bank in the background. I suppose this could be called Three Rock Line or The Line of Three Rocks, then.

IMG_1180smaller

Stepping up from Matland and Welcome Matt into the teepee and Whitehead Crossing proper would symbolically be very similar to Elton John stepping up into the yellow brick road on the cover of his Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album.
