I know you know I’m living in St Helens, right? I mean I know I’ve been all quiet and shy about it I know, but I’m sure I’ve mentioned it in passing once or twice. Anyhoo, a couple of weeks ago when it was all new and near-neked I went a-wandering to take some pics of what people had done and to show you, my dearest reader, that there was still land available for renting should you be tempted by the delights of life in wild west wilderness of 1890s Oregon.
Here’s Lunar great build – I’m not sure what it is, sort of a train station crossed with a power plant, I’ll have to ask him once he’s less busy – as seen from across Spirit Lake:

Behind that you’ll find Maev Ceawlin’s balloon air tours:

Which is next to Elegia Underwood’s newly relocated Dragon’s Leap Inn:

Fogwoman Gray has a charming wee cabin nestled at the base of the mountain:

Which is in the shadow of a very rundown looking watermill on the border of St Helens & Shanghai:

There’s even a wee hidden cave buried inton the moutain if you can find it. And if you can, let sleeping bears sleep eh?

Across the water from me, Mari Moonbeam has a lovely place:

And let’s not forget Maxim place on the eastern Boomtown border!

The whole place is rooted firmly in rough, rustic frontier life and the builds reflect just how much people have taken that to heart. Lunar has done a great job making the whole place look wild and old and, well, green ![]()

* More parts to come as some pictures never appeared in my flickr so I’ll need to take them again and since I took the ones that did make it more people have moved in and places have changed. There’s still a few plots left though – come along and see for yourself!

Beware Mrs. Gray-Volare’s residence. It may look very rustic an innocent from the outside, but more than likely has multiple sub-levels in which diabolical experiments are performed, if Her Grace’s other structures are any indication. Not that I would know, of course, but one hears rumors…

Fogwoman Gray? I confess I know nothing of the lady. You Grace, you say? Is she titled?

Great pics HBA. As for the building close to the center it is a welcome center I need to go in and start filling it up with city stuffs. Plus I’d like to do a historical center on Mt St Helens in real life itself. Lots to do.

TY Lunar, the next post in a day or so is better – and thank for the update on the ‘station’, I *love* the work buildings at the back!
