“Daring daylight conversation, Hucka D.”

Gene Fade:

I am here.

bb:

Hi Gene. I was going to talk to Hucka D. about Whitehead Crossing a bit more.

GF:

I am here.

bb:

Hello again. My idea is that Rock or Rocky crash landed near Green Stream, right, walked the path or road that later became named after him — The Rocky Trail — even though it’s not really rocky at all (smiles). Anyway, he heads up this path and meets the equivalent of the Emerald City, which is the same as the original Whitehead Crossing, Gene. Mr. Fade. But I don’t think it was called the Emerald City, but maybe not Whitehead Crossing either. Maybe *Edwardston*? Anyway, the worship of Sinclair, an original creator, was going on there, kind of like Glooscap is for the Wabanaki peoples of the US and Canada. And he may also be associated with Nanabozho, the Great Rabbit who supposedly — just in checking — fought Paul Bunyan for control of the forests. Nice analogy since Frank and Herman Parks are protected forests in the main. So Whitehead Xing worshipped this Sinclair.

Gene Fade (finally):

At the time of Rock’s arrival, they knew not that Sinclair was the core truth of the Peter Bozo, as they called the deity. Also Peter Soso or Peter Zoso or, more uncommonly, [other names here].

bb:

Thanks for that. So Rock showed them Sinclair behind or inside this deity, because he was *made* by Sinclair.

GF:

Rock’s crookedy twisty tale is balanced by Peter’s straight as an arrow version. Both are Dog Gods, one good and one bad. Positive and negative. Both had [dog] tales. Diamond patches.

bb:

Thanks again. So Rock comes into Whitehead Crossing which is similar to the Emerald City and finds… who?

GF:

The Wizard of course. The Great and Powerful. Sinclair!

“So let’s just continue this here. I just posted my map in the post above this one.”

GF:

Zoso to SoSo. Moss.

bb:

Hold on please.

bb:

Well, let’s move on. Whitehead is a bit different, perhaps, than Billfork, in that’s it’s more spread out. Difficult to determine an exact center.

GF:

The center is that smaller hemlock you’ve identified. I believe. My research tells me so. Soso so.

bb:

Another thing I wanted to get to tonight was that Rock lived in Whitehead Crossing *first*, then moved to his Rock’s Meadow.

GF:

He lived near the pot, true.

bb:

There are 2 crash sites, Gene.

GF:

Mr. Fade, please. Yes.

bb:

Rock was a dog but the tale wagged the dog.

GF:

Twisty… turny.

Joe:

Heard you’re thinking of moving back to Pietmond Mr. baker.

bb:

Maybe, Joe. Whaddaya think?

Joe:

Go. No. Flo. Mo. (!)

bb:

I have a feeling you’re saying no. Or either go (!)

Joe:

Grey. Noru. Norumbega. Sinclair. Grid. Grid. Maine. Grid. Main Grid.

bb:

Maybe what I’m calling Whitehead Crossing now, the center, is actually Orange Hill

maybe named for The Hump, like King Bill resided over his own version of Orange Hill in neighboring Herman Park.

Joe:

Peter Zoso. Soso.

The beginnings of another toy happening event, this time in Whitehead Crossing, Frank Park. 5 bottles make a circle next to a dead hemlock tree in what might be the most cleared, immediate area of the largely forested Whitehead Crossing region. That’s the attraction to this particular spot: fewer plants will be damaged in any such event. More to report soon; this might be just a start. My intuition is telling me that a bigger project than Billfork could be unfolding here.

Remains of a blue balloon in the area first mentioned in this November post and then elaborated upon here.

According to Hucka D., the pictures below to complete this particular post all come from what has to be the original Whitehead Crossing, a peninsula area formed between Whitehead Creek and an as yet unnamed tributary. This would be upstream a bit from the core of the pine forest pictured above, and nearer Rock’s Meadow.

The first photograph depicts an interesting double tree on the peninsula, with framing ferns.

Mossy log near the perceived heart of the original community. A path (i.e., road) runs along the left side of the moss looking from this direction. A depression known as Big Sink lies just below the frame of the picture here, next to the upper end of the log. A smaller depression currently known as Less Sink or maybe Small Sink is situated near the center of this photo, but difficult to detect. I’ll go over all of this again asap. But the mossy log seems crucial: Moss Log or maybe Moss Boss.

Elaborate crisscrossing of logs at the tip of the Whitehead Crossing peninsula, and where Whitehead Creek has perhaps its most significant drop along its relatively short length.

Interesting root formation just downstream.

The Mmm’s First Tree, once more.

On the way to Billfork, I decided to take a short detour to Mars Beach, Hermania. TILE Creek seemed to talk to me there — interesting mind experiment. We chatted about central Hermania and why I decided to clear that particular space just upcreek from here. I tried to justify the action, and I believe the woods, the area are forgiving now. They understand, along with the creek, that these are more listening stations than attempts to impose my ego upon the land (although there’s that aspect to deal with as well). Mars Beach is a listening station, Hermania Centre is a listening station. There’s many more just along TILE Creek itself.

Beautiful Drink Lake. But more than just a lake.

I knew immediately what this flower was: the distinct ladyslipper, found on the path toward Billfork. Wonderful! And several more were sprouting in the immediate area.

To Whitehead Crossing now, and a new Billfork-like focus. Or actually one of two new focuses concerning this location. I’ll discuss the one pictured below a bit more in my “To Whitehead Xing 02” post to follow, and then expand later. I assume some kind of initial Whitehead Crossing map is in order soon in tandem with this.

Interestingly marked pine tree in the same area, with some kind of moldy effect going on at the bottom of its trunk. Have to study up on what that might be.

Path cutting through this central pine forest of Whitehead Crossing, soon to reach the open areas of Green Stream in the background. This may have been the same path that carried Rock, the first human avatar, into the heart of Whitehead Crossing after his crash landing next to Green Stream. The Rocky Path (as a name) then?

Spectacular trunk of a tree fallen across Whitehead Creek. More than a bridge, I feel. A totem perhaps.

Top of Grey Rock. Gene Fade will most definitely be inspecting this location for potential “Fade to Moss” scenes, including perhaps a climatic one.

Grey Rock again from near Whitehead Creek.
