You are looking for the key to being independent of time. You've had a few odd experiences, but it's not a journey with a manual

that you're interested in right now. The next day, you find yourself on the road again and this time you've got an idea of where to go.

You don't follow the usual advice to go to any particular famous point or landmark, but rather somewhere as far off the beaten track as possible.

As you drive along, you see some signs of civilization. It looks like there is at least one town nearby, though you can't be sure since the sign posts aren't very visible from your location.

You can also see an old broken down fence surrounding something. Maybe a small animal or petting zoo? Whatever the case, it's not something you should be bothering with, so you continue on your way.

You find a small clearing, something a bit out of sight from the road, but close enough to be practical.

You park your car and get out to have a look around. Surprisingly, the trees aren't too thick, so you manage to see a fair distance away from the surrounding area.

You look for signs of anything, but realize you have to document the area first.

Maybe you can come back another time with a sketch book or something. As you get out your notepad to take notes, your eyes are caught by movement in a small patch of trees a short distance away.

It seems your intention to document the area has already had a ripple effect and provides a location for a temporal occurrence.

You can't really be sure how far the ripple will spread, so you decide to focus on just the one spot instead. With that settled, you put away your notebook and begin your search.

As you approach the area, the positive feedback gets stronger and the ripple becomes more visible. You take a picture of it.

You begin to see ripples appear all over the place and you realize that this whole area is temporal. Before you can explore further, you start to hear sirens in the distance.

Fortunately the sirens fade as they drive by. You make a note of the time and the reaction. A different vantage point to have as reference.

If you're lucky, you think you should be able to get out of here within an hour or so. You will definitely have to test this in retrospect, but for now, it's a good opportunity.

You head home and write down as much information about the day as you can. You print out your work, as well as backing it up both locally and on the Internet.

You then get some rest in preparation for your next expedition. The moment you open your eyes, you can feel the temporal disturbance all around you.

It seems that your first experiment was successful and that you've proven being the center of the effect isn't as dangerous as it might have been thought.

You have to take this opportunity while you can as you definitely don't want to stick around and hunt down a new location.
