As promised, here a few pictures from my excursion with greensmoke a few days back.
Here are a few "betwixt the trees" shots of majestic Burnheim Forest...
Here's one of the many, many hiking trails throughout...
And here's another...
No, wait...that was the same one. Here's the same one again, only with Allen, so it's different:
After a lot of walking and deciding it was just too goddamned hot outside, we headed into the visitor center/gift shop where I saw this bat:
Well, it was a fake bat. And yes, I posed it like that on the shelf. But I still saw it, didn't I? Moving on, there was a giant white sheet on the wall welcoming visitors to draw a picture of their favorite of all the animals living in the forest. After thinking back on all the animals I'd seen that day; the barn swallows, the wild geese, the squirrels, the butterflies, the owls, the buzzard, the falcon, and the stoic blue heron, I drew this:
And yes, up there in the corner, in all his majesty was...
It'd be nice if he was in that forest...give all the other woodland creatures a head's-up. Looks more like a chicken wing coming out of his neck than a beefy arm, though. Anyhoo, there was a row of wooden ducks for sale in the gift shop. Or, "dcuk"s as the tags on them said. Which skill do you find more valuable, woodcraft or spelling?
Also in the gift shop, I managed to pick up this handy guide to animal tracks found in the forest. Very helpful, but one of the tracks struck me as odd...
Armed with this new information and several minutes of air conditioning, we decided to venture out in search of the fire tower. Luckily, we found this bench:
The bench was not entirely truthful, though, as we had to walk a little more and go around a curve to get to the fire tower, but eventually...
We walked for a while longer, pestered by more than a few bugs...
But we managed to catch a glimpse of Bigfoot...
From there it was onto Peddler's Mall, where we saw among other things:
Mickey driving while Grover mans the hose? How? Aren't they from two different universes? That's like Batman driving the General Lee with Spidey riding shotgun, it's just not supposed to be. Then we saw this thing, which deeply disturbs me:
Yes, that's a cowboy taking a dump behind him. Moving on, here's another thing that should be:
Mr. T without his bling. That's just not right. Even Big Van Vader can't believe it...
