I had an idea for a project to draw, inspired by one of whtdragon's pieces, I hope I can get it done and up soon. Other than that, not a lot going on.

It is a shame that the show is degrading that way, it was a great show. There was one episode I saw last season that convinced me Jason is deliberately fudging some of those investigations. His choice down in FL to leave the thermal camera at the bottom of the lighthouse steps pointing straight up, when any other time he whould have carried the camera with him is what I'm referring to. Sure enough on their regular camera they caught a "shadow" peaking over the rail above them, but nothing showed up on the thermal because it was well out of range. The people that Jason and the other guy, Grant I think his name is, have working with them do still have open minds about things, which is nice. I think if the head guys put the right pressure on their subordinates to deny real evidence is real, one or more of them will be branching out on their own.
It may be creepy to look at, and there's a lot of history there, but it is a wonderful place to visit. EVen though it parallels US Route 50 pretty closely, you barly hear the road traffic at all, it's amazing.

I like the pictures too, they did come out great. The thing to consider with the tunnel size is that trail is on an old railroad bed. Those tunnels were built for trains so they're going to be big. I just wish there were easier access to tunnel #10, it's a tunnel cut right out of the rock, amazing to look at, and kind of creepy to be inside.
Well, the blend for me is too bold (courage, me?) and a little sweet (Too much joy, I'm not at all a happy camper about lots of things) for my liking, but that's what came up. Just about the only thing I think it got right was the salted rim, people's first impressions of me are usually relating the the gritty strong saltiness that I leave them with, few take the time to go deeper into the mix. I'd describe myself as more a of citrus drink, with lots of lime.

It's hard to appreciate the depth of how serene it is out there until you're on the trail yourself. As I said earlier, you can't even hear the main road that's only a stone's throw away. I'm getting better with that camera, but I'd like to have a point and shoot digital camera to work with instead. My current camera absolutely has to have a tripod to take high res shots so it's cumbersome to carry the camera and the tripod to take pictures on the hikes. The grafitti was a pleasant surprise for me and my Mom when we noticed it (funny we didn't see it the first time we were there but it's dated for April). That kind of thing is good for me to see because it tells me I'm not the only one one in West Virginia suffering from lack of access to good content for my hobby. At least the artwork is nicely done.

I may not like the people here in West Virginia, but there is a lot of beautiful places to look at, that's for sure. One of these days I'm going to get to the New River Gorge Bridge, the one people jump off of once a year (had our third fatatilty in 20 some years this year, base jumper's chute didn't deploy, not a pleasant way to go considering what's below). I just want to get a picture of the gorge from the bridge if I can, if not, the bridge itself will make a great photo.
About Point Pleasant, they really botched that whole thing up. I can find the report that was written up about the Silver Bridge collapse, it states that everything but the road decking was removed from the water for investigation purposes. Now there are a couple cars that were never found, but they'd either be completely buried in mud from the investigation efforts back in 1967, or from the 40 years of time, or they'll have been moved by the river currents further down. No one will ever know for sure. They really didn't cover the mothman too much, they left out significant details, and got into too much of the other activity without focusing on the Mothman itself. they really should have read John Keel's book, not watched the movie, they would have had a better investigation in doing that.
