By Request...The River Song
The River She is Flowing
The river she is flowing, flowing and growing.
The river she is flowing, down to the sea.
Oh Mother, carry me, your child I will always be.
Oh Mother, carry me down to the sea.

A few stories from the Kaisertal...
Here are some of the stories the campers wrote...
Death Seat
Ones upen a time, some people went to mountain, because there were a new sesselseat. So all the time, people of the village rides with the sesselseat to the top of the mountain. Every year there were lots of people in this mountain. After many years the sesselseat, was old, very old, but that didn't know the people. One day a group of tourits made a traveling onto the mountain. When they got in, they looked at the beautiful nature. At this moment the seat stopped, few minutes later the guys asked themself what happened. The stuff of the group was very nervous and looked back, in front of him, to the left side and to the right side. it was very wobbed. Suddenly, one but only one sessel broke, fall down and crashed on a big, big stone. It was quiet...
Then the sesselseat moved again. Few minutes the mountain rescue was there. It was a horrible day, but on this day the mountain was called, "Death Seat."

The Death Church
It was a foggy morning in September. I had spent the night in Anton Karg House. I set off to reach top of the mountain near the hut when the sun was rising. I felt strange this morning. when I passed the big monument with the names of people who died in these mountains, I heard a voice whispering, "Don't go to the mountains...!" I thought it was an immagination. So I went on.
When I came to a small church, I heard the whispering agian. "Don't go to the mountains..." This time it was a little bit louder. I got scared and decided to go back.
One week later I heard about three people who died on the same mountain. I wanted to go. Only one shoe of these people was found. So the mountain got the name: "The Death Church" but the church where I heard the warning was never seen again.

The Devil's Spice Garden (written by Nate, Leigh, and Elli)
The Devil’s Spice Garden
(Teufels Gewürzgarten)
Even the devil loved his granny, and as a young devil boy, he loved to visit her at her cabin high in the Wilder Kaiser mountains!
He would spend many weeks there every summer at her place: teasing the animals, swimming in the creeks, and playing all kinds of mischief on the climbers. He always had so much fun at granny’s place, but there was one thing that he could not
stand: Granny’s cooking! For some reason her soups tasted like dirt, her casseroles were so boring, and even the birds and other animals stayed away from her pies that she sat in the window! Granny was a
vegetarian but wasn’t a very good cook.
So, this one day, the devil sat at the kitchen table looking glum. He had a long face and a big bowl of green soup that was getting cold as he stared at it. Granny eyed him and wondered, „what ever is wrong with that little devil. What can I do to get him to eat?“
After that meal, the devil was so disgusted (and hungry) that he decided he had to do something about it! He couldn’t eat another one of Granny’s horrible tasting soups or stews. He was a meat eater and he began to think up a plan.
„How can I make this food taste better?“ He thought.
„I like meat...especially the taste of human meat and souls!“
„But how can I get the flavor into her dishes?“
He thought of an idea: „I know, I could just cut up some climbers and put them into her soup pot!“
But then knew: „No, that would be too obvious. It has to be secret because she’s a vegetarian!“
He thought and thought...and then he came up with a plan! „I know...what if I could make the veggies taste more like humans? It would be almost as good as eating the real thing!!“
„What if I sprinkled the soil where she grows her veggies with human (fertilizer)?“
And so he had his plan, but there was still a problem: Where would he get the humans?
Then, he remembered all the people who visited the Wilder Kaiser and used the bathroom
everywhere and left their toilet paper behind and those who threw trash all around, and still others who wanted to cut down all the beautiful trees. He knew there would be plenty of them...and no one would miss a few of them every now and then!
So the devil began to trick and trap these bad people. He would sit on top of the „Death Seat“ mountain and watch all day for these people to misbehave and then he would lure them away to their deaths!
Once he had gathered enough of these bad people, he would drag them to the Fleischbank and
grind them against the rocks into fine dust to use as fertilizer for the garden.
After a few more days of waiting and suffering through some more of Granny’s meals, his plan
started to work! The veggies began to taste more and more like humans…evil humans! “MMMMMHHHH!” said the devil, “this is great!”
Everything was going as planned and he began to eat more and more of Granny’s food. Even
Granny noticed his new appetite and enjoyment of eating her food. It made her so happy to see him eating her dishes, and he always asked for seconds, thirds, …
Until one day! Granny was walking out to the garden to pick some vegetables when she saw three big bears digging up her veggies and she chased them off with a big stick.
“Get away! Shew! Scram!” she yelled!
Afterward, Granny thought about how strange it was to see bears in her garden. They had never been there before. She thought, “Why are there bears in my garden? They never came here before. Usually, they only eat berries and fish… and meat.”
Then, she realized that something was wrong and she put 2 + 2 together! Bears eating my veggies and that little devil eating my food…something must be up!
So, Granny decided to secretly follow the little devil and see what was going on. She hid as he sat upon the “Death Seat” mountain and watched in horror as he slid down the mountain and pushed some bad people, who were cutting down the trees, off the mountain. She then watched in disbelief as he ground them up against the Fleishbank and then sprinkled their dust over her vegetables!
Suddenly, she jumped out from behind a tree and startled the little devil! She scolded him and said, “What do you think you are doing in my garden, you little devil?”
Ashamed, he answered, “Sorry, Granny, but I had to…”
She yelled, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you do such a horrible thing?”
He answered with a tear in his eye, “Granny, I know it was wrong, but I had to…the soup. It just needed some spices. I’m the devil…I can’t live on veggies alone…I need some meat.”
Granny scolded him, “Well, for goodness sakes, don’t you know that veggies provide lots of important nutrients and minerals that your body needs. You may be able to eat that junk at your parents house, but here…young man…you will eat healthy!”
The devil responded, “Sorry Granny.”
Then Granny punished the devil: “Well, I think that you need some time to think about this! Go to the “Devil’s Hole” over on the other side of the mountain and don’t come out until I tell you to.”
…and so the devil hung his head and trotted off to the hole.
And wouldn’t you know it, but he is still there! You can be sure because there is still a lot of toilet paper and trash in the Wilder Kaiser and people who are cutting down the forest. But just wait! When Granny lets him out… be careful and don’t throw anything on the ground.

Freewriting in nature...
This tree over there! How long does it take that it is what it is? Many years? And how old is it? Nearly a century. Isn't it boring to stand so long on one place? I can't say it! Do you know it?
The nature here is beautiful. Here are so many animals and it's good that here musn't live humans. The owner of this nice place is the nature and the....are the animals. The water is running in the creek. If water is intelligent it must know more than every person on the world. The humans can destroy places like this in a short time but they can't repair it. Then nature can destroy this place in a short time to but it can repair it and sometimes it's better than before.
The humans are too intelligent. They do so many things which they musn't do. They think they can get energy out of atoms. Their right, but whith this technik they can destroy everything. we know that the earth get warmer and warmer but we don't do anything. We are driving our cars, we are burning earthoil and don't think about the klima. we humans are killing ourselves and we are killing the animals. we must going to be more primitive as we aren't the kings but the illness of the planet.
