Up to Washington State, turn right I m pretty sure that I ve taken all the possible InterState routes and several of the State Highways across the country. It would seem I don t need as much as some other folks I still can t believe that even with essentially taking a whole house with us, and having a full queen sized bed with showers and such a very short walk away, it wasn t enough I think she s said something like her idea of camping rough is a Howard Johnson s Oh Well Back at now So I m thinking that the cot in car with some window blockers would be fine for the rest area stealth camping, then adding a huge tarped out surround in a camp grounds would make for a very nice day or two.
However, within the circle, the ground is completely devoid of any form of vegetation or life. The soil inside the circle is sterile, making it impossible for plants to grow. One theory suggests that the magic circle is a result of underground gas emissions.
The Magic Flute
Pursued by a serpent, Prince Tamino falls faint from exhaustion. Three Ladies in the service of the Queen of the Night slay the monster, then admire Tamino’s beauty. They fight over who will remain with him while the others fetch the Queen. Not coming to any resolution, all three depart.
Tamino revives and observes the approach of Papageno, who catches birds for the Queen. In the course of becoming acquainted, Papageno claims he killed the serpent. The Three Ladies return and seal his mouth for telling the lie. They show Tamino a portrait of the Queen’s daughter, Pamina, and Tamino immediately falls in love with her visage. The Queen of the Night appears and asks him to rescue Pamina from the temple of the tyrant Sarastro, where she is being held captive. As a reward, the young couple will be wed. Tamino agrees enthusiastically, and the Three Ladies give him a magic flute for protection. Restoring Papageno’s power of speech, they order him to accompany Tamino. He receives a set of magic bells. Three Spirits will guide their journey.
At Sarastro’s temple, Monostatos is charged with guarding Pamina, whom he treats harshly. Papageno enters, and both men startle one another with their unusual appearance and momentarily flee. Papageno is the first to return, recognizes Pamina as the Queen’s daughter and tells her of the ardent young prince who has been sent to her rescue. She takes pleasure in the prospect of love, and Papageno too pines for his perfect mate.
Elsewhere in the temple, Tamino comes upon the inner sanctuary, but is barred entrance. A priest tells him he has been deceived by a mother’s tears – Sarastro is not the evil person she described. Feeling lost, Tamino plays his magic flute and hears Papageno’s pipe in response; he then follows its sound. Back in Monostatos’s lair, Pamina and Papageno face recapture, but Papageno plays his magic bells, charming Monostatos and his slaves and allowing their escape.
Sarastro enters magnificently, and Pamina admits that she tried to flee, but only to escape Monostatos’ amorous advance. She misses her mother, but Sarastro proclaims there is still much for her to learn from his tutelage. Tamino is brought in and embraces Pamina, while Monostatos is punished for his dereliction.
It is believed that methane or other gases seep out from beneath the surface, creating a toxic environment that inhibits the growth of plants. This explanation is supported by the fact that methane gas has been found in the vicinity of the circle. Another hypothesis proposes that the magic circle is a result of geomagnetic phenomena. It is believed that electromagnetic fields are responsible for inhibiting the growth of plants within the circle. However, further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind this phenomenon. The magic circle has become a popular tourist attraction, drawing curious visitors from around the world. People are intrigued by the mystery surrounding the barren patch of land and the contrasting lush vegetation surrounding it. Some even believe that the magic circle possesses mystical powers or acts as a portal to another dimension. Scientists continue to study the magic circle, hoping to unravel its secrets and provide a concrete explanation for its existence. The phenomenon serves as a reminder of the wonders of nature and the mysteries that are yet to be discovered. Until then, the magic circle remains an enigmatic spectacle, captivating the imagination of all who encounter it..
