Kobae Come to the Light

Because of Kobae's failed Base Jumping attempt in the last post, and resulting long detour, Kobae and Tom are late returning to Base Camp. The first four years when it got dark, Kobae was done. Last year Tom discovered he will follow a head lamp, just not very quickly.

You Got Shelter

Caught on the edge of a rain storm returning from the Mother Ship, Tom is nervous. There is lighting all around and thunder booming overhead. They are exposed and Tom wants to get out of the open area as quick as possible. Quick and Kobae, two words rarely seen in the same sentence.

Kobae and the Mother Ship





Tom has always thought Kobae's facial features look a little like ET. Maybe that's why he wanders the area evenings, trying to figure out where he came from, how he got here. Today a brief rain cooled everything and by 3pm Kobae was at the gate ready to go exploring. It initially appeared they were headed to Hurrah Pass. Then Kobae turned off and headed for the rock that looks like a fossilized star ship complete with windows. Reaching the bottom of the fossilized ship, Kobae stopped and stared at it for a long time, perhaps searching his memory banks. Kobae moved underneath and began smelling it, threw a little dirt on his back and appeared content to spend the night. Eyeing the approaching storm Tom eventually got Kobae headed back to the lodge.
