* * * * * In the Land of the Crystal Wavers [Make sure you have your crystals ready] [1] We made it to Cassadaga [2], although we didn't travel the backroads but instead took I-4 East. I had planned on arriving before 3:00 pm so we could take a historic tour of Cassadaga, but by the time we got going, it was a bit after 2:00 pm, so speed considerations took over asthetic considerations and thus, the trip up I-4. Cassadaga proved to be a bit futher than I expected, about 60 miles away. We didn't arrive in time for the 3:00 pm historic tour (but more on that in a bit). But we were in Cassadaga, a place so thick with mediums you can't wave a crystal without hitting one (as I joked to Bunny). [Spiritualists here] [3] [4] [and here …] [5] [6] [and here …] [7] [8] [and here …] [9] [10] [and here …] [11] [12] [and here …] [13] [14] [and here …] [15] [16] [and here (and the Purple Rose also does aura photos) …] [17] [18] [but not here, about the only exception] [19] [20] [and don't mind the chem trails] [21] [22] When we enquired about the tour we just missed, we were informed that the Nighttime Orb Photography Tour [23] (which we planned on taking) included the historic tour normally given at 1:00 and 3:00 pm, only at night, and with the opporunity to take pictures of ectoplasmic orbs (or, whatever they are, and I'll be getting to those in a bit). Fortunately, we didn't really miss anything.
