Critter Country Overview Part One
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56OHbSK7rtc&feature=related
A dense forest path looms to the north, snaking beneath the railroad tracks and into the abyss. An earthy feel accompanies the trail as various plants provide shade from the intense sun. The smell of fresh dirt and air fills our noses as we traverse this relaxing road, the trickling of distant waterfalls and creeks sounding off in the distance. An overhead train makes the ground shake and the ceiling rumble as we step down a small hill and up another. Several tiny waterfalls pour down the sides of the natural walls around us while the various weeds and clovers sway in the gentle breeze. A glimmer of light dances at the end of the tunnel as we continue on down the path, eventually poking our heads out into it.
We have emerged into the backwoods oasis that is: Critter Country. A shaded wilderness reminiscent of the Pacific Northwest, Critter Country is a land inhabited by critters of all shapes and sizes, whether they be alligators, bears, rabbits, or geese. Relaxation and peaceful music is a common occurrence here, while cabins and other wilderness outposts lie about the place. The tall pine trees surrounding us scrape the sky as they provide us with shade, while beautiful ferns grow all around the place. The fresh scent of pine fills the air as wooden figurines of forest animals appear all over the place. Cool streams flow down through the various meadows and gardens, lined with the settlements and homes of various critters. Such dwellings include a hole in the ground marked by a small door and a tiny-pipe chimney, a mushroom with windows, a chimney, and a front door, a tree-house, and even a cave belonging to a snoring Big Al the Bear. The great bruin's snores can be heard from nearly a mile away (Not really)!
At the very entrance of the land is a well-sized wooden sign welcoming us to the land, surrounded by a diverse collection of wooden critters. The sign reads "CRITTER COUNTRY: EST. 1848," a small dedication plaque beneath it reading, "A backwoods refuge for those of paws and claws, fur and feather."
Branching away from the sign we find ourselves confronted with a variety of different directions to choose from. For now we will head to the north.
More to come later on this week!
