the
Slim Hollow
Rock Opera
ACT ONE
And it came to pass,
sometime after the Civil War a confederate soldier named Uncle Slim (aka:
General Willis) lost everything but his mules. So he left Macon and somewhere
around Nashvegas in the hollows, he ran into a pack of wild hillbillies.
They chased Slim over Beaver Creek Falls. They thought he was dead and
would have been, if not for a hidden island behind the Falls. So Slim
learned to farm and blend in.

is a part of Sycamore Creek. Eventually down stream they dammed up the
creek to make a lake and generate power to be sold by
the COD DAM POWER CO..
Sycamore Creek runs through the heart of the hollow.
The creek turns into the lower bottom and eventually into the bottom.
There's an old dirt path that rises up above the woods into the upper barren.
Not to many a man wondered through the woods for fear of the Snake Man.
No man has ever laid eyes upon him, but they know he's there.
