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.

Wealthy Mtn. 03

Another quite amazing Wealthy Mountain find: what appears to be some kind of rock temple perhaps dedicated to Lisa the Vegetarian…

… including 2 similar, narrow chambers on either side of the main rock that might have harboured quartz singing bowls at one time. Just a working theory.

Closeup of the somewhat larger chamber pictured above. This would be on the upper side of the rock, or to the west of the smaller one.

A picture of “Temple Rock” front on, clearly showing both chambers to its side, along with a central, diagonal rift.

More details of the immediate area.

This Temple Rock from the lower side. Notice all the longitudinal markings.

Much narrower “chamber” in a neighboring rock.

A central mossy area. A commons? (Village Green?)

Pointy white tip of a rock, perhaps also meaningful. Is it a directional rock of some kind?

That mossy “Commons” area seen from a different angle.

Temple Rock again from the side.

I think I’ll call the largest rock pictured below Tablet Rock, and it’s immediately in front of and below Temple Rock.

Rounding the corner… more rocks (surprise! (not really)).

Wealthy Mtn. 02

Next up we have a revisit to the camp of Michael Too, called Michael Too as well. This is the first time I’ve returned here in about a year. It’s pretty obvious even to me that Michael will not be returning himself to “live” in this spot again…

… so I decided to do a bit of tidying up and categorizing. Below is the cleaned site…

… which includes this central rock table, complete with a number of stones that Michael gathered and placed here…

… as well as a small camera carrying case with the name “Seatz” written in magic marker on the inside. Is this the true last name of our infamous Michael Too? I know several people named Seatz in our town, but I couldn’t find any “Michael Seatz” of local origin. Perhaps it’s a case he found instead with this name already written inside it (likely).

A snail watched me clean up the campsite, unknown to me until afterwards, when I took a picture of him/her.

Michael Too camp materials checked out and put to one side. Nothing extraordinary in the lot, it seems. The mystery of Michael Too still remains that.

Oh, there *was* one thing. The largest quartz crystal in the camp when I visited before was *gone* this time around. You can find a picture of it here…

… with Hucka Doobie posing beside it. Did Michael Too return at least once to secure this prominent mineral? Is it *truly* a gift from Lisa the Vegetarian, and did he somehow consciously know this? *And* did we *both* received these type of quartz gifts from Lisa V. (since I found two beautiful examples in nearby Quartz Brook in 2010)?

Nearby grassy area on the same ridge, also known about before. There is a circle of rocks — obvious former campsite — to one side of it.
