inside 03

The housing village I have to pass through to get to Pink Peak (changed from Red Hill or Pink Mtn.!) contains some ridiculously high retaining walls, Medieval style even.

At the start of the best, actual path up the mtn. is what I call the Graveyard, full of holes like this.

On the upper edge of the Graveyard we encounter Turnup Rock, which indicates that the path has changed direction and is turning up the mtn. instead of continuing around it at a more level ascent. In the future, this appellation might naturally degenerate into Turnip Rock, and then explorers and researchers of the peak might wonder why it is named so, since it’s quite block-like and looks actually not very much at all like some kind of fruit or vegetable.

Beyond the mtn.’s front ridge lies what I’m deeming Vineland, a microcosm which could have an interesting story of its own. The path I’ve picked out passes through its upper reaches.

Far side of Vineland. The woods clear out substantially after this

At the top now. Closeup of that kid’s cat themed sleeping bag, which I then hauled from next to Turtle Head and dumped over the bank of a nearby dirt road just to get it out of sight and mind.

I explored the all the rocks of the top pretty extensively this day, perhaps my main mission. Nothing as odd as Turtle Head and Campfire Rock already discussed here, but below is pictured one of the larger and more interesting of the rest, complete with defining orange fungii that I couldn’t find anywhere else.

Descending directly down from the top to go back, uncovered this rock that seemed to have tumbled against an already mature tree. Mostly likely illusion. What else is not what it seems on this clearly magical mountain now called a peak? Maybe won’t reach it again for a couple of days. And I’m still waiting to hear from Mountain Man, who I gave my email address to about 2 weeks back now, the start of all this. He has some art and writing he needs to share with me fer sure (!). Trouble is, he doesn’t have easy access to a computer. Hope I haven’t already lost contact with him!

clubbing

They were on another circular island quite larger in size, although not far away. The associated club was called D’Vine, resonating with both Devine and Vineland in Colorado, especially since the name is a play on Eden’s fruit vine with the cursed apple and all. I knew because the neighboring sim was Danshire (with the much smaller, circular island we’ll get to soon) that synchronicity was strong here. This is the spot — a direct extension of Danshire — to continue our story…

I called in Wheeler to reprise her role of Heidi Hunt Ives from Gaeta V in novel 7. I knew she’d be up for it. Also remember that Tom Casey beside her is a method actor, going deep into the role of Casey One Hole he’ll always be identified with.

“Are all my fingers here?” she started, worried about the doubled manifestation. Two alts in one location sometimes spells trouble. But then she counted to 10 and moved on, an old practice. She looked over at Tom Casey, noted the coal black eyes staring into her. Good! It’s a role of a lifetime, she feels. To work with the great director Eraserhead Man on a new project, to go into the Red Room again and face a faceless man who has information he *wants*, not needs, and then, when not getting it once more, finishes the deed he should have accomplished long ago on a continent now far far away. Or at least an ocean away. Well, only a strait away to be honest. Gaeta V I’m talking about here, the faceless continent that we probably won’t be returning too much for more action and adventure in these here Collagesity photo-novels. Neighboring Corsica continent to the west seems to be a different story. Much different as it’s turning out. The D’Vine island mirroring the earlier Danshire island just next door is witness to this. Synchronicity! How I need that energy. Back to the actors…

“Tom — Casey, I mean. Can I call you Casey?”

Tom/Casey considered what Casey would say. How deep was he? Not quite enough to answer correctly. But that was good! In a way. “Yes,” he said.

Heidi Hunt Ives noticed the slip and called it out. “But I think you *wouldn’t*, Casey *One Hole*. Do you still remember how you got that name?”

“Of course,” he replied, but didn’t go into specifics. Casey One Hole would not have gone into specifics. He was going deeper again.

“Nice.” HHI became pleased again. “So tell me about the Yankton prison, then, formerly a college as I understand or remember it now. Why do you need schematics?” This was different. Casey One Hole enjoys talking about the prison. It is what the character is centered around. It’s like this island to his story.

He managed to glance over at the center (table), wishing he was there instead of here.

And then there he was. Heidi Hunt Ives, of course, joined him. Let’s listen in.

(to be continued?)

Bigfoot 01

100 Foot Swamp:

8/31/15:

100 Foot Swamp has been renamed Bigfoot Swamp, a natural transition (it has a “big” feet of length). The projected town or “toy happening” around it becomes Bigfoot then, most likely, with a center near the northern part of the marsh, where a feeder stream enters it via an uphill pipe.

The only US population place named Bigfoot presently is in Frio County, Texas. The general area of this village has already been seen in a map displayed on this blog from May 2014 called “Strange 01″…

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2014/05/15/strange-01/

There I discuss the conjunction of two towns in Medina County to the immediate north of Frio, or Noonan and Devine. Glenn Strange plays the bartendeer Sam Noonan in the long running western seris Gunsmoke featuring James Arness and sheriff Matt Dillon, an icon for our time. The town Noonan in Texas is one of only 2 in our US of A, the other being in Divide County ND and near a *Strange* Siding. Noonan and Strange conjoined again. Near Noonan Texas is a city called Devine. There are only two pop. places of that name as well, with the other being in Colorado near a Vineland, and itself having a variant name of Vineland according to the GNIS database.

Notice several things here in addition to the stuff I outline in the “Strange 01” post: Divide (County, ND) is almost an anagram of Devine. I now work with a guy named Devine, who is sort of my boss as I perceive him. He cryptically emailed me several times on the weekend I discovered the Bigfoot Swamp. Now I find the only US Bigfoot conjoined with the only incorporated US Devine, and the only one of any significance. Bigfoot Swamp, a natural area bordering the Blue Mountain Urban Landscape and what could be considered a direct extension of it (that’s how I view it anyway), can stand for the event *furthest* away from this Urban Landscape in the Blue Mountain area, or the encounter with a Bigfoot like creature in the furthest recesses of Frank and Herman Park the winter of 2012/2013. This is an encounter with a completely *alien* culture, seemingly, and as far away from humanity as you can get. It is non-human. It creates not stuff we humans consider normal, like roads and houses and malls and hospitals and HugeMarts. So the near Bigfoot (Alpha) overlaps the far Bigfoot (Omega), and perhaps in ways I cannot understand yet (involving Devine?).

On the below map we see the close conjunction of Noonan, Devine and Bigfoot in Texas, with the word Devine strangely absent on the map despite being a town of significant size. Represents the soon absence of the other Devine? Maybe. If so, what name will take its place? Is that written out in maps as well?

Strange 01

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noonan,_North_Dakota

Noonan was founded in 1907 and named after a family that had business, farm, and coal interests in the area. It was once known as “The White City” because of an ordinance requiring all buildings to be painted white.[6]

—–

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Strange

Glenn Strange (August 16, 1899 – September 20, 1973) was an American actor who mostly appeared in Western films. He is best remembered for playing Frankenstein’s monster in three Universal films during the 1940s and for his role as Sam Noonan, the popular bartender on CBS’s Gunsmoke television series. Strange was of Irish and Cherokee descent and was a cousin of the Western film star and narrator Rex Allen.

….

Life and career

Strange was born near Alamogordo in tiny Weed in Otero County, northeast of El Paso, Texas, some thirteen years prior to New Mexico gaining statehood. He was born as George Glenn Strange, the fourth child of William Russell Strange and the former Sarah Eliza Byrd. He was an eighth generation grandson of Pocahontas and John Rolfe of Jamestown, Virginia.

Strange grew up in tiny Cross Cut (formerly known as Cross Out) in Brown County (county seat: Brownwood), some fifty miles east of Abilene in West Texas.

Strange played the Monster a third time in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948), with Chaney, Jr. and Bela Lugosi.

Noonan near Devine in Medina County, Texas. The only other US Devine, in Colorado, is just below Vineland, and Devine itself is listed with a lone variant name of Vineland. My thinking in respect to WH X-ing: Devine is a central place in The Crossing’s Vineland. Below Vineland is Weed — that was already predetermined. Now I know that our Strang or Strange is from Weed as well through Glenn Strange from Weed, NM, famous for his portrayals of Frankenstein’s monster and also the bartender Noonan from Gunsmoke.

Only other *Noonan* beside the one in Texas is in Divide Co., ND near a *Strange* Siding. How odd; how strange if I may be allowed.

So…

… the Strang Gang, after the death of Lazy Sideburns Man by the ~~hands~~ hooves of Hater the Cow, used a rocketship to get out of Sharieland and into Whitehead Crossing. And they are separate from Rock?

Hucka D.:

Yes (pause).

bb:

Lazy Sideburns Man wasn’t that lazy after all. He found the original set of golden plates.

Hucka D.:

True (another pause).

bb:

Or was it the same set.

Hucka D.:

[It’s] Your story. Could be.

bb:

We have to understand the nature of this Erath community at or near Heart Lake in Sharieland. On Earth Creek I believe.

Hucka D.:

Yup.

bb:

How did they get the rocketship?

Hucka D.:

Rocketships to them are like covered wagons to the Mormons. The original ones.

bb:

So they just bought some.

Hucka D.:

Yeah.

bb:

Why did they choose Whitehead Crossing?

Hucka D.:

Why did Strang choose Burlington, Wisconsin?

bb:

Vortex, then.

Hucka D.:

Yeah. They could detect that.

bb:

The word Vorhee is fairly close to Vortex for a reason.

Hucka D.:

There was no[ equivalent to] Bear Island with this Gang of Strang. The year was 1973. Elvis was crowned King[ that year].

bb:

So the — our Strang Gang heading to Whitehead Crossing and staying there is like Strang’s own gang heading to Wisconsin and staying put there and not having to move to Michigan.

Hucka D.:

It was about the twins, see. Twinning. Lazy Sideburns Man and his deceased twin, obviously. Think of Psychogumma.

bb:

Marion Crane’s twin who was her sister in the movie. But in the synch it’s obvious this is the sister reborn, after her death earlier on. It’s… you go.

Hucka D.:

It’s death of vegetation in the Fall and rebirth in the Spring as well. Vernal. Leaf. Leaf Erick’s Son appears in the Spring, several weeks back.

bb:

Hmmm… Leaf as the original original Whitehead X-ing explorer. He found Vinland. And then he found No Title Spring, which is the equivalent to the Norumbega River in reality. And he established a temple or fort there.

Hucka D.:

He knew of Grey Seal, although he didn’t put the Grey and the Seal together[ at that time]. Yes, Leaf was in Vineland or Vinland as it was later shortened to. He saw and also partially understood The Loop at the end of the Rainbow Line.

—–

bb:

Leaf in Ms. Avent could be Advent, like the advent or arrival of leaves.

Hucka D.:

Royce.

bb:

Royce means something too.

—–

bb:

Then Leaf in Ga in White County, as in Ms. it’s in Greene. Pink nearby[ in Ga.]. And of course that’s a Winesap manifestation. White and pink are types of static noise. Masking noise.

—–

bb:

I believe our Leaf Erick’s Son landed near Grass or Reed Lake, Hucka.

—–

“Weed.”

Whitehead Crossing Again 01

5/12/14:

With 3 days off the past week, and also a relatively clear Sunday, I’ve had 4 solid days of hiking in that span. I still had to watch my back, but a set destination of Whitehead Crossing helped alieviate my worries there since the ways in I chose are relatively flat. I have a considerable number of photos to be processed besides the ones in the 4 part “Whitehead Crossing Again” posts here. So we better start with the text (!). Very good and interesting hikes each day, with much information added to the area’s snowballing mythology.

But we start on this particular day — I believe this comes from Monday of last week — at the 4th and least defined portal of Spoon Fork. I review my information about these portals in a 2011 Baker Blinker Blog post Here.

Here

Nearby, moss decorated roots.

Heading up into Whitehead Crossing now from the south or Korean Channel direction, I found spring plants sprouting greenly. I believe this one is a corn lily, quite common in these parts…

… and here we have a may apple.

There are many things to notice in Whitehead Crossing, and here are two twinned trees that didn’t catch my eye until this day. Twins… a key subject to consider in absorbing new Crossing info for certain.

Poison ivy has definitely sprouted, and this is another good reason to focus on Whitehead Crossing for my May hiking needs, since I kind of know where it grows there and can avoid it better. For example, I knew there was some poison ivy around what I’ve called the Poison Gate in past posts, where this picture was taken. I have to develop that particular aspect of Crossing mythology in a future post, aided by future photos no doubt.

Nearby is a block shaped rock I also hadn’t really noticed until this day.

Perhaps strange (or Strang?) clumps of green grass growing to the east of No Title Spring, in a place I’m tending to call Vineland or Vinland now for obvious reasons.

And now just to the west of No Title Spring I found an object: What appears to be the rusted top of a spray can of some sort, buried top down in the dirt.

Whitehead X-ing Revelations 01

Looking down the length of Little Whitehead stream, with the brightly lit Green Turtle and The Emerald to right.

What I believe are scarlet cups emerging from the ground between Grey Seal and No Title rocks. Here’s a wikipedia article devoted to ’em.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcoscypha_coccinea

Looking through the gap between aforementioned rocks, Grey Seal to left, No Title to right, and Scarlet cups, unseen from this angle, in center.

Conjunction of No Title rock with a smaller rock on its eastern side, making a tiny cave. Yet another fairy dwelling in the forest?

No Title Rock with White Rock to its right. In reexamining the latter, I consider it to be on a psychic level with any other rock of The Crossing. Very odd bleaching effect.

White Rock contrasting with a paler and blotchier wall of No Title Rock. White Rock has been included in a recent Falmouth collage, found here.

From the west…

Another in a long list of classic Whitehead Crossing pics, which I’ll most likely be taking again year after year after year. It’s a look down the length of No Title Spring toward Grey Seal, similar to the shot at the top of this post depicting the same with Little Whitehead.

Clumps of grass sprouting to east of No Title Spring. I believe I might call this area Vineland or Vinland, because of the numerous twisting and turning vines within. Muscadine vines? I’ll have to keep track of that.

I’ve taken a shot of this fallen tree hung inside one of the vines before. Here ‘t’is again.
