Mystique Forest
As the village slowly grew and more and more sellers came through with their carts, wanderers like he used to be. Bill decided to do something to make these sellers want to stay a little longer. He thought that they would make a fantastic attraction for tourists, but he also understood that most of them didn’t want to live in the village in normal houses, so he made a camp area in the forest where they could put up their tents with bathroom facilities, camp fires and sitting areas. He also made few small tree houses. So moms with small children would want to stay longer as he understood that they were important to the village to grow into what he always saw the village in his head. Today that area is always full of critters that go through towns with their carts, some of them have moved into the village in time and other are happy living in their little tree houses. The kids love to sleep on their roof, tell stories and watch the stars. Mike Slydale takes good care of the forest camp with help of his family. They make sure there is always enough wood for campfires, the toilets are clean and running, no trash lying around and the washing area is neat. That way the residents are happy and spread the word around about this fantastic place.
These are the families living in the Forest. If you click on their names it will take you to them.

Mike Slydale has known Bill for years and when Bill had to find someone to be the caretaker for the Forest area, he immidiately thought of Mike. Mike is now the care taker for the Forest area and does everything that needs to be done and finds his pride in it. His family is happy to have a steady home but still living in the forest and not in a city. Skipper follows his dad all day long and knows the area better than anyone else including his dad.
For years The Outbacks have gone from one village to another, one fair to another. they heard about this wonderful place that was being made and it actually sounded too good to be true. Luckily they decided to check it out and haven't regretted it since. they still have the PopCorn Cart that they take to the village every day but now they have a beatiful place they can call home.

When Bill walked around the Forest area he often thought about the time before he came to MV. There was one fellow that he remembered, Aristotle. He and his wife Anabella used to try to educate the kids on the camping area, always saying that an education was important. It took Bill some time to find Aristotle so he could offer him to build a small school area and to be a teacher for all the kids there. Bill believes too that a good education is important and thinks that if the kids can attend school their moms will be happier and want to stay.

John and Hannah knew each other when growing up and John always had a crush on her. When they met at their last reunion John finally had the nerves to ask her out. Luckily he did as today they are happily married and have adopted two little girls. John did live in a tent in the Forest area but Hannah refused to live in a tent so when another small tree house came available he made sure that it would be theirs.

It seemed like Mike had been on the road with his boy forever. When he stumbled over MV it felt too good to be true. His son is now getting education, they have a home even if it's just a tent the area feels like home and finally Nick has some true friends. Mike also enjoys coming home after long days in the fields and find himself surrounded with friends For the first time he feels like he has a place that his life matters and that people care for them, even the mayor stops when they meet to ask how it's going.
