Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country by Pam Houston

This book was really poignant and eye-opening. The author unfortunately had a horrific childhood, though she prefers to refer to it as a dark comedy rather than a tragedy. Her mother was an alcoholic actress who was anorexic and tried to make her daughter go without eating until dinner time. The father was also an alcoholic who broke her femur, sexually abused her, and tried to kill her on several drunken occasions. Between the two parents driving drunk all the time, she was in 16 totaled car crashes before she even got her learner’s permit, but someone must have been watching over her because she never had to be hospitalized because of any of them. For reasons only she knows, she kept in touch with both of her parents until their deaths, though they were never close. She didn’t really dwell that much on her childhood, but nonetheless she talks about it enough for it to be quite triggering, so just be warned.

The author escaped to college out west and majored in creative writing. The professors were pretty hopeless, banning the students from writing about supposedly cliché topics like natural scenery and female body fluids. Before she graduated, she had already published a book with no help from them called Cowboys Are My Weakness that managed to incorporate all their banned writing topics, so when a jealous faculty member refused to sign paperwork that would help her get financial aid to finish her degree, she just walked out and never went back lol.

Then she traveled around the country because she loved the wilderness, becoming a raft guide in Colorado and a dall sheep hunting guide in Alaska. She started looking for a place to settle down, eventually arriving in Creede, Colorado. She had only $21,000, so when the real estate agent insisted that she see a beautiful $400,000 ranch, she kind of distanced herself from it, thinking she could never have it. But the author was able to buy this beautiful, historic 120 acre ranch high up in the mountains of Colorado because the previous owner took a chance on her and sold it to her for only a 5% down payment and a signed copy of her book. The author never missed a payment. 

I learned a lot about ranching in the mountains of Colorado from her. For one thing, I had no idea temperatures regularly dipped to -35 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter there, and sometimes even dropped to -45. That’s even colder than Homer, Alaska. The growing season at her ranch was also only 6 weeks. She had Irish wolfhounds, chickens, sheep, a cat, 2 donkeys, and two elderly horses, so reading about how she cared for them all in the winter made me realize that I need to stop being such a sissy about not wanting to go to the barn when the temperature is in the teens. I layer, but I’m clearly not layering with the right materials. I needs to invest in a couple real wool or fleece sweaters and thermal pants. 

I never considered certain complications that come with maintaining a ranch at such a high elevation. The author decided to paint her propane tank to look like a watermelon, and was really lucky that the solar heat at 9,000 feet didn't make it explode in the summer. Additionally, all the logs of her cabin, the wood fencing, and anything else with paint, plastic, or enamel had to annually be treated with UV protector in the fall or else they would just disintegrate in no time. That ranch was a bit more work than the average large property, and was constantly being threatened by wildfires, people wanting to put up power lines, and slick people coming up with schemes to buy her out. But none of them took the ranch from her in the end, and when she dies it’s being preserved and donated to the public.

The book is mostly chapters in chronological order, with some short essays in between. The ranch is obviously the focus, but the author also discusses some trips she made with biologists to remote parts of the world, and her writing is so much like that of a naturalist that this book could also probably fall into the “nature writings” category.

It’s come to my attention that some programming may have taken place in a location known as the “Deep Creep Cabins” in Maryland, at least according to Claudia Mullin, as stated in a Jon Rappoport article “Mind Control Experiments on Children”. I happen to live in Deep Creek, and I’d like to make it known that we see military activity here pretty frequently, despite there not being anything about a military base nearby online, or anywhere else.

We see planes flying over our house pretty often, and we’ve even seen planes that my relatives with military experience couldn’t identify. We occasionally see trucks and cars traveling in large groups, too. While I’m not necessarily saying it’s still connected to mind control programs, it’s definitely odd given this towns history. I’ve been pretty much everywhere in the town too, multiple times over. I don’t know where they would keep something big enough to hold planes and trucks, even if it was in some nearby woods. This place attracts a lot of tourists, I feel like hikers would be a concern.

I hope I didn’t go too tinfoil hat on you. This is something thats been bothering me, and I really need a second opinion.

Not a tin foil hat at all. I have the location in my notes.Thank you for sharing with me. Keep looking and let me know if you find anything.

Here’s some of what I have: 

Deep Creek Cabins, just west of Ft. Detrick, MD.-These cabins, located in the general area of the Magothy River, are a series of cabins surrounded by water and  used for sexual programming and  sexual training by the intelligence agencies. The area was reported by one Individuals to have been labelled Subproject #74.

Deep Creek Lake has been involved in a different type of activity, one that was deeply entwined in the shadowy world of espionage and Cold War intrigue that followed World War II. Deep Creek Lake’s connection to top-secret government programs may never be fully revealed nor will the role of Frank Olsen who died on November 28, 1953 under suspicious circumstances.

Two bottles of Cointreau sat on the table in front of Frank Olson. Both were open. Both were the same. He reached out for one of the bottles to pour himself an after-dinner drink. He was relaxing in a cabin with other men who had been forced to attend a three-day retreat at Deep Creek Lake from 11/18-20. The invitation to the “Deep Creek Rendezvous” said that a cover story had been given for the meeting. “CAMOUFLAGE: Winter meeting of script writers, editors, authors, lecturers, sports magazines.”

An embarrassed government as the dark goings-on of the CIA agents at Deep Creek Lodge were acknowledged for the first time. The lodge now is back to being known mostly for its fluffy buckwheat and steak- sized sausage.

Deep Creek by Pam Houston ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When you give yourself fully to a piece of ground, its goodness enters your bloodstream like an infusion.

Genre: nonfiction, essays, memoir, nature

Country: USA

Review:

This book might be my very favorite of the year. It is such a healing and thought-provoking read. It’s just the book that I needed. It reads as a journey of self-healing and also a love letter to the earth. I love Pam Houston’s work because I can feel her love of nature in every sentence. And despite all the ugliness of her childhood and the awareness that we’re destroying our planet everyday, there’s an overwhelming feeling of hopefulness in this book. The reassurance that each of us can overcome our hardships and that maybe the earth can overcome as well.

Would I recommend this book?: Without a doubt!

 “I’m just saying, I guess, there’s another version, after this version, to look forward to. Because of wisdom or hormones or just enough years going by. If you live long enough you quit chasing things that hurt you; you eventually learn to hear the sound of your own voice.” – Pam Houston, Deep Creek Today I finished Deep Creek by one of favored authors, Pam Houston.

The whole lack of gender preference thing is reminding me of homestuck quadrants and how fucked up would that be in the trolls universe. That said I can see Floyd ♠️ Otto.

I'm sorry I let down my guard.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #xue yang #xiao xingchen #God DAMN this scene was brutal. Season 2 episode 2 is almost nothing but misery and anguish #Helena by Nickle Creek does not quite fit the comic's vibe but it is absolutely a Xue Yang song so I linked it. #The change from “Helena don't walk away...(gentle)” to “HELENA. DON'T WALK AWAY (threat)” is fantastic. #And “Don't waste your pretty sympathy - I'll always be just fine”. Xue Yang core. #Okay now for the real meat. Disclaimer first: *I really like XY.* I think he's a great character. I think his actions consistently- #come from a place of deep trauma. While his reactions and actions put him in a villainous role he is still human about his hurt #and what I'm about to say is NOT intended to be a statement of causality or villianize a group of misunderstood people. #So with that said...Man oh man does Xue Yang have a lot of BPD traits. More that just 'character who is chronically manipulative'. #The impulsivity and emotional reactions and seeking stability makes him feel like he needs that control. What other choice is there? #The part that really gets me is how he *wants* to be safe and happy. But his past experiences tell him how thats impossible #He's the kind of person who goes 'if you don't like me then you better hate me for something substantial". All (pos) or All (neg) #''Love me entirely or Hate me. But don't you dare leave me or forget about me.'' #Not at all comfortable saying 'BPD coded'. Im not a psychiatrist. Just that he has TRAITS. Feel free to disagree or add your thoughts. #ppl with bpd also are not a monolith and everyone has very different experiences. Xue yang is very complex. People more so.
