Jolie and Willow had gone ahead and that left Jurak holding the reins,......
whilst Womble looked after securing a rope that had loosened, from the
sway of
the wagon. It was quite a scenic trip along the way, they passed through forests
of tall "giants" of trees,with 800 year old trees
some of them exceeding 100m and higher!!
it was an excellent spot to travel through!
This well perserved old-growth stand of forest was an awesome sight!
Their girth was four meters or better, at the base of these...
sentinels of the forest! They travelled through swampy bogs, nearly getting
stuck, more than once!, through the swampland, with it's dense underbrush,
and canopy thick with treetops, which seemed to have a darkening effect on
the forest floor... it was an eerie, peaceful feeling.......sort of!
Womble pointed out the very large mushrooms,
[color:"orange"] "LooK JuRaK!, those toadstools, are the size of footstools,...uNbeLieVabLe!!.......
yes, nature is alive and well in this part of the forest,
so much so that i'm starting to "feel" like a dwarf! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />!![/color]
The two continued along, with "meat" and "Fe", taking a backseat to all the action,
but they were still happy anyway. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Jurak and Womble were comparing "trials and tribulations", each story out to "better" the last...
Jurak explained more about the hidden passages, and how they led to the peaks of the Azure Mtns.,
where a forgotten race once occupied, a small section of
rock that they cultivated and made their home, great buildings of stone are said to be there....
and said it might be worth checking it out!
He went on to talk about the waterfall and the lake, with it's system of trails
that offered a great view of the falls, and of the deep pools that are perfect for swimming!
Womble himmed and hawed, joked that he had already had one "bath" today, but
sure!!, a nice dip in the crystal blue waters of the lake, sounded pretty good!
Then he kinda shrugged his shoulders, and started talking about his adventures,
of his conquests, and even 1 not so good one! They talked their way down the
road for hours........then stopped!
and started to wonder where the hell Viper was?..........
