This is my 'home' page. My real home page is the Duchy, and there's also a nice entry portal. This 'home' page is about my home. There are directions to my home, directions through a short cut, how to find the key to the short cut, and general blueprints for my ducal palaces.

Directions

Jump. Really high. You're going to want to leave the earth's atmosphere.

But that's not what really comes first. First, you have to make sure you're jumping at the right time. Some times of the year, you want to jump in the day, and other seasons you want to jump at night. If your general aim is for Pluto, you won't be far off. Once you get to Pluto, it's easier to find my home.

My home is on Charon, the moon of Pluto.

It's also called the smaller of a two-planet system. It's less than a seventh of Pluto's mass, which is about three thousandths of the mass of earth. My nonagonal palaces are at the poles, with four smaller residences around the equator. Since Charon has an area of about 3.2 million square miles, that's six houses in an area the size of two Alaskas.

Shortcut through a portal

Since Charon is, at best, nearly six billion miles away, which would take nine hours to get there at the speed of light and considerably more at any lower speed (such as nine years in a modern spacecraft), a portal is available for those who can find it and have the correct key. It's in southwest Wyoming.

More specifically, it's in the Wind River Mountain Range between Robert's Mountain and Lizardhead Peak. Some persons may wish to bring oxygen, as it's over 9,000 feet above sea level. Starting at Lizardhead, travel due west until you come to a point equidistand from Pinedale and Fort Washakie, two towns to either side of the range. From there, travel north until you are once again on the line between the two summits. Continue another 1.66 kilometers. You will encounter a large boulder with the appearance of a mouse or a skull, depending on the angle. From this rock, head generally northeast until you find two rocks that were once one. Between those rocks is the portal.

This is not the easiest route. It is merely easy to describe. Finding the correct point between peaks on a map to start heading north and measuring approximately 1.66 kilometers from it, then heading towards that point taking your time, is much easier and less dangerous.

Getting the key to the portal

Asking me is one way to get it. Naturally, I want to be able to use this portal with ease so as to travel back and forth between Earth and my home with little time expended. Therefore, I have a key. But unless I want to go to Charon at that time, I don't think asking me will work, because I am disinclined to loan my key to even the best of friends.

However, there is another key. It's in Australia, about a mile notheast of the Olgas, near the bedrock.

How will you know the key when you see in? It looks something like this:

Why my home is on Charon

I was, as far as the word applies to me, born there. I popped out of nothingness, after which a proceeded to make havoc with the Plutonians. As the only Charoner, none of the Plutonians were legally responsible for me. However, something had to be done, so they decided to let me bug the humans on earth. They sent me to the earth elves who arranged that I be exchanged for a nice, quiescent human child. They cared for the nice human, and my poor, new-found parents had to deal with me.
