Centipede Garf I made for my beloved friend’s birthday

This was the weekend at the camping cottage in Pinchot State Park in April, 2026.

Saturday's main event was a Wildflower Walk! We were looking at spring ephemerals, which are flowers that appear in the woods in spring, when the weather is warming up but the canopy hasn't leafed out yet, so there is plenty of sun getting to the ground level.

The actual guided walk had a lot of people, and Teddy wanted to jump up on all of them, whether they liked it or not, so I didn't get any pictures during it. But after the group walk, we went on another one at our own pace, and used what we learned to find more flowers!

This is a bloodroot, so named because if you dig it up and cut into the root, it bleeds bright red. These guys come with variable numbers of petals; there were even some with two layers of petals.

These are spring beauties; there's another one called rue anemone that looks basically the same, except it has different leaves! We saw a bunch of these; they come in both white and pink.

This is our friend the Trout Lily! In Pennsylvania they happen to come out right around the beginning of trout season (It opened last weekend), but that isn't why they are called that!

It's because their speckled leaves look sort of like a trout!

There were also tons and tons of bluebells! Each place they appeared, there would be a huge patch of them. One patch that we saw during the guided walk even had some white ones, which is a special rare variant that turns up sometimes. (The picture is the regular blue ones, though.)

In addition to these ones that we saw again and I was able to get pictures of, we also saw a couple of trilliums, some jack-in-the-pulpits, hepatica, and something called "pussytoes," which I had never heard of before. They look like this:

(picture from a native plants seed company called Everwilde Farms) and they are called that because they look like a little kitty paw!

(Obviously.)

Our walk also included a "story walk," which is where they put up pages from a picture book to read as you go. It was cute!

Teddy also got to play in the lake a little bit.

After the walks, we headed back to the cottage, and made a stop at a little junk shop, where I got these great napkins that aren't quite a palette swap for my camping tablecloth, but they sure do rhyme a lot. The yellow is even more vivid in person; they're great. $3.50 for three of them.

After eating some lunch back at the campground, we had another walk, this time on Old Farm Trail, and saw the second vernal pool, as mentioned in the Part 1,

with the excellent salamander Egg mass.

After the walk I had arts & crafts time, while Teddy had a nap:

We finished off the evening with a campfire, and in the morning it was time to go home. We made a return visit to the first vernal pool on the way out.

5th trip (450 mg) mid 3-plateau

I took 15 gel caps and 1 allergy pill at about 1am, I started scrolling on my phone waiting for the effects, nothing special happened.

About 4am i started to feel dizzy, kind of a drunk feeling, my body felt heavy but my pupils were normal and I could speak well.

Then I layed on my bed and I dont remember how much time exactly happened but I closed my eyes and I started seeing things going very fast, some kind of fractals. That's when I knew the trip started, I was conscious that i was on drugs and I was listening to music, my body felt every beat and it felt as if I was on a trampoline and every beat made me jump. My jaw was shaking a little bit kind of a chewing movement, it hurt a bit.

Everytime I opened my eyes I saw double, but I didn't saw any visuals, so I kept my eyes closed and I turned off the music cause it was too much for me, imagine Ruprecht 4500 was playing throughout all of this. It was cool ngl.

Then I opened my eyes and saw myself in the mirror to see how everything was going, my pupils were BIG and I was smiling. My phone was heavy and when I opened Instagram I saw my chats with "TV static".

When all of this had happened it was about 6am, but for me it felt like it had been more than that.

I thought about sleeping cause it was already clearing up, I really dont know if I even slept or not, I couldn't distinguish time.

I woke up at 9am and my pupils were still big, I saw everything kinda blurry but I could speak well.

I just fell asleep again till 11am, my pupils were normal, i felt normal, I knew it was over.

So yeah overall rating 9/10 i like it, I would do it again, only thing I dont like about dxm is that it ruins ur brain if u use it too much, but thats pretty much all drugs if u abuse. I do feel a little bit foggy and my short term memory isnt good but I dont know if its placebo.

1st "trip" (90 mg) low 1-plateau

I took 90mg gel caps and it didnt do anything but dilate my pupils a little bit. Also these caps had ambroxol so I wouldn't recommend it.

2nd trip (540 mg) mid high 3-plateau

Took 540mg of syrup, I waited for about 4 hours but i didn't took allergy pill and it just made me very itchy and it left me with rashes all over my body.

But then I suddenly threw up all over me, i couldn't see or move well and that made me do that, I kind of blacked out and it was as if I were in 3rd person, I couldnt do any kind of movement.

I did trip a little after I threw up, I saw fractals in my bathroom wall and i had sound hallucinations, I heard as if I was on the forest i heard flying bugs very very loud, and I kind of saw black after, it lasted very little.. but that was awful. I think it was the fact that I felt so bad that I couldn't let go and that ruined my trip.

Not to mention i had to change my pjs and clean my mess fully tripped out.

3rd "trip" (150 mg) low 2-plateau

It was at my friends house, I had gel caps, i waited like 4 hours for the effects and i just felt a little drunk when walking. My pupils were normal, I think.
