Explore The Woods On Horseback!

You can now explore The Woods Of Marathon Caye on horseback.  Our new Marathon Caye stables are located to the south of the gazebo on the central island.  Simply click the saddle to choose from 4 breeds, sit on the horse, and after you mount animation completes, wear the horse and HUD, Synchronize and off you go.  These horses rival the AKK horses in detail, but in my humble opinion, offer many options, especially for a rezzable horse.

Enjoy the splendor of Marathon Caye from the freedom of a beautiful steed.  It even allows you to dismount and explore, while the horse stays tethered to a hitching post for up to 30 minutes before it derezzes itself.

Winter Activities in The Woods!

 The Woods Of Marathon Caye is officially winterized, and Taylee and I couldn't be more excited to see how it's received.  We've been entered into the Winter Activities section of the Second Life Destination Guide.

Please click on it, come on over and check the sim out, and if you liked the experience please come on back to the destination guide, and LIKE The Winter Woods Of Marathon Caye

We're just completed a fun Capture-The-Flag style snowball fighting game that makes it so you freeze in place whenever someone hits you with a snowball.

We've also added a horse-drawn sleigh tour of the entire sim.

Behind the mountain, we've erected a curving ice slide, which takes you dozens of meters into the air and down again.

There are also a number of winter activity rezzers, for a canoe, kayak, or rowboat, as well as a two-person sled which also allows you to travel down the side of the mountain together.

Tiny Friendly Woods :)

It's a small step (no pun intended) but we're making The Woods Of Marathon Caye friendly to Tinys.  We've had a tiny kayak option in our kayak rezzer, at our central pond, but have added a couples rowboat and single peapod canoe, all available at the central dock.  We also have a Tiny friendly tree at The Gazebo, at the top of our Trunk Cave, and inside Club CTO.  It's just a start, but since Taylee and I have been taken with these amazing little critters, we wanted to make The Woods Of Marathon Caye Tiny-friendly!

Cranston Yordstorm is a performing artist in RL, working theatrical stages from northern California to Cape Cod, Massachusetts over a 20 year career. With an SL singing career that began in late 2009, he brings a Jazzy, Swingey, Bluesey fun time with him wherever he goes. With a varied songlist, there's always a little for everyone. Frank Sinatra,Bobby Darin, Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jr, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Ray Charles and Elvis Presley are just the notables among the choices of musical influences.

Come on out for a swinging good time!!!




BigJim Allerhand ain't young and pretty, he's a long way from thin, but he sure can PLAY THE BLUES!!

Jim grew up in a small town in Southeast Kansas, and was influenced by Blues greats such as Lightnin' Hopkins, Jimmy Reed and Son House. Raised in a small Baptist church, he had the opportunity to merge these musical influences with gospel music.

Keeba Tammas has been part of the Second Life community since early 2007 but did not make her stage debut until 2009. A former professional vocalist, she still
enjoys singing and SL allows her the freedom to indulge in her eclectic taste of rock, jazz and ballads, with a smattering of showtunes.  Her relaxed wit and charm come through with each performance, drawing the listeners into the show and her open request format is a real crowd pleaser. Her love of music and performing come over during her gigs, creating a lively and fun atmosphere. Other performers often remark that Keeba is one of their favorites to listen to.

From The Owner's Desk ...

Once in a while, Cranston or Taylee, the owners of The Woods Of Marathon Caye, will write something on their personal blogs which will be of interest to the visitors of The Woods, and if so, it will be reposted here for your perusal.

The following article, written by Cranston this morning, features the inspirations for some of the design of Marathon Caye, as well as the transformation that TWOMC has made from full summer greenery, to the splashes of color radiating during the autumn.  We hope you enjoy it, and that it may, perhaps inspire you to take yet another look at Marathon Caye, if it's been a while since your last visit.  Enjoy!
