Welcome to the weird world of the inter-sanctum of my mind. Be not afraid it is happy and friendly place where I come to from time to time. Just Southwest of beautiful down town Bullard, not too far from the sleepy village of Teaselville was a late 1800's Methodist Hippie Colony known as Burning Bush. When the Methodist arrived they found a salt flat being operated by the Kwahnlea family of the Anadarko clan of the Caddowan Tribe of native American Indians. Since Indian life was communal the Methodist hippies were welcome and fit right in.
There are many more details which I will share later, but suffice it to say as with all Utopian settlements, civilization, colonization, and greed of non Burning Bushites lead to the inevitable down fall and abandonment of the by then well built stone and steel fortress that had become Burning Bush. The Anadarko fled north to the safety of Oklahoma where many are today involved in law enforcement. The Methodists did not re-enter "civilization" easily, so many chose the missionary field or later joined the Peace Corps.
The site lay untended for many years until it was reopened by a band of well meaning "Keepers". Keepers must have something to "Keep" so they settled on collecting and protecting for the good of the community. Quite naturally I became one of their first targets.
Oops! Time for med and "quiet time" - More later
