Our tales for today are...

Allegheny Forest -Not everything is a sign or an event of great meaning. Not every encounter in the forest is a phantasmagorical paranormal happening or a divergent dimensional occurrence of any significance. In an attempt to convince himself that not everything phallic represents…well you get it, Freud once said “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”. And so it holds that not every noise that can’t be explained, every vision beyond the comprehensible, every feeling that the veil has become dangerously thin, should be interpreted as something worth investigating further or even worth holding a darkened little corner of our memory bank. Sometimes a noise is just a noise, a shadow is just a shadow, and a cigar is really just a cigar. But then again, sometimes, they are quite a bit more than that...deleted OP

Camping in the Appalachians - Solitude is a wonderful thing. There are few moments as glorious as sipping a strong brew, taking in a misty morning sunrise in the forest, knowing there isn’t a stranger within miles. Being alone, or with your partner, in the great wide wilderness can be invigorating, spiritual, and enriching all at once. And so it makes sense that you grow to long for the less and less populated world of the woods. The deeper you go, the further you walk, the more land you cover the farther and farther from people and the modern world you get. Of course that’s what you hope. But people are like rats, you are never as far away from them as you might think or wish. And as the old movie poster says of space, in the deep woods, no one can hear you scream… from SixStringShooter
