The Highest Place by Kingtycoon Methuselah
February 6th, 2011 8:15 AMAlso - it's been very, very snowy lately -- it's been so tremendously snowy that there's basically been a cap placed on adventure. If there were a possible event for Staying Home and Being Sullen - then I would get 10,000,000 votes for that because that's what has been happening. For real.
Anyway - breaking the logjam. So the highest part of my day is actually my house. I live at the top of one of the bigger hills around and my bus drops me off at one of the lower parts. I know many other players are basically mountaineers so this isn't the best thing ever as far as winning the game goes - but I was tired of looking at this one. I want to get over it and move on to a new and more interesting challenge. I hope. Here's what it looks like going up this half-mile hill with a 35 degree grade in the middle of the night after snow and ice have covered the sidewalks with a foot of wet, awful crap:
Fuck that sidewalk. Seriously?
Fine, I'll walk throuugh the snow-drift, I don't care.
Here's part of a haunted forest. True story - it's next to the cemetary for nuns
It's nice an clear if you're a car of course. A speeding car...
Fortunately some schoolkids walk this way too, making just ever so slight a path.
Once a snarling fox leapt out at me from here.
There's the haunted forest where a cemetary for nuns is.
This qualifies as a path. Thanks schoolkids!
Come on, really?
This is almost at the top. There's an old half abandoned shrine there - they fence it off which sucks because it'd be an awesome shortcut.
My house is almost in sight, just over that crest. Note that the weird sepia tone of the sky is the natural color for this part of the Wasteland.
