sept1c_tank slowly looked around at the scenery and said "so what is it exactly that makes you return to this spot Jomarac5?".
I thought about that for a few moments and answered with absolute certainty "The quiet. I really enjoy not hearing cars, and sirens, and the other sounds of the city". "Me too" sept1c_tank agreed as we sat down to have some lunch. "It's funny how we get accustomed to all that noise in the city. I really like it at the top of Indian Arm where the only noise other than animal and bird sounds is the occasional power boat" I said as I sat on a log and took a bite from my sandwich. We sat on the beach, the sun beating down on us. It was so peaceful, the wind gently blowing bits of seawead across the gravel. An eagle screeched softly in the distance. We sat, enjoying the quiet sounds of nature. And that's when it happened -- a gurgling sound -- it got a little bit louder with each passing second. We looked at each other with amazement. It was so incredibly loud -- like a gang of passing bikers on Harley-Davidson motorcyles. It was unbearable but at the same time there was a soothing quality to it. We looked around but couldn't see anything that would cause such a racket. It was eerie. We looked towards the water and saw the most incredible thing -- jellyfish!!! Thousands and thousands of them! They seemed to be organized in a pattern -- and the water above them was rippling like a giant speaker. We couldn't believe what we were witnessing. We looked at each other, not with fear, but with bewilderment -- what was causing this strange anomaly? We sensed that it would be safer to retreat to the forested area just beside the beach. As we moved, we noticed something strange -- the sound was becoming clearer. As we left the beach and stepped a few feet into the trees, the sound became amazingly clear -- it was words! In a slow monotone voice we heard "Everything is OK, this is just a test". We took a step deeper into the trees and the words became muffled so we took a step back and the words became clear again. It seemed that it was only at that particular spot that we were able to make sense of the words that were being spoken. Once again we heard the same monotonic voice say "Everything is OK, this is just a test". We thought that all of this was pretty weird. Then it stopped. For some reason we thought that was weird too. We looked towards the ocean and noticed that all of the jellyfish had formed into the shape of what looked like map of a planetary system. Then it changed into a big happy face before all the jellyfish broke formation and continued pulsing on their merry way. I looked at sept1c_tank, who had a glazed look in his eyes and said "That was the third most bizarre thing I've ever seen". In a soft voice sept1c_tank spoke, "Yeah, bizarre in a cool sort of way. We need to waypoint this spot. I've a good feeling about this". I had to agree. If you ever find yourself at Berg's Landing and the jellyfish start making a loud noise, go to the above coordinates, you'll find a large rock there. From the eastern most part of the rock go about ten metres at 20 degrees magnetic -- you'll find some old timbers lying on the ground. This is the spot where the sound became clear. We also placed a small camouflaged cache at this spot, underneath the timbers. Perhaps while you're there, you will also hear a mysterious message -- if you do, please write about it in the logbook. The cache is a small camouglage painted Lock & Lock container. It contains only a logbook and pencil. If you wish to leave a trade item it must be small and should not inhibit the container from closing properly. Have fun and enjoy your journey to Berg's Landing! |
