Report #25


This day, the plan was to spend another long day at the site. I left home just after 9 a.m. with the temperature at 76. The high for the day was supposed to be 94 with sunny, clear skies. The wind was blowing WSE 5-10 mph. The humidity was zero and there was to be a full moon starting at 7:50 p.m. 

I arrived at the parking area at 9:29 a.m. with the temperature at 79. I made several trips from my car to the site as I needed to bring in a number of items. The first load was backpacked in. 

At 9:47 a.m., I was geared up and biking to the site. I arrived at the site just before 10 a.m. I left the site at 7:15 p.m.

I left my bike just inside the tree line under cover. I arrived at the pipes and unloaded the items from my backpack and make initial observations. It had been 6 days since the previous visit. 

I have 60 photos from this visit. I will note my observations with included explanations from the photos and regular comments as needed. It was an interesting; yet, disappointing day.  

Here's the day's activities and observations.

#1. thru #4. At the pipes, the bucket, bear/bee doll, nail tent peg, rock, and honey bun wrapper are all on the ground????








#5. thru #7. To the rear of the top pipe, the sketchbook and markers were left. The markers pouch had been opened and markers scattered. Most in the pipe but one was on another pipe and one was on the ground between a pipe and tree base????





#8. thru #12.-----At food bucket tree #1, all the food items are gone. There are multiple wrappers around the tree. The large rock is still in the bucket. It has been pushed down into the bucket instead of being partially out of the bucket as I left it previous????








#13. thru #15. Previously, I had hung the hub cap and 6" nail on a long vertical limb near food bucket tree #1.They are both on the ground and the limb broken. The broke off large limb is now on top of the hub cap with a smaller stick across the large limb???





#16. At the stick figure antelope, the 2 horn sticks have been rearranged to not show the blue paint but the natural side of the sticks.



#17. The stick figure hunter now has a natural stick/limb across the chest area above the reflector???



#18. All the branches, limbs and sticks have been pushed into and over the balls.



#19. thru #21. At the deer corn pile spot, nearly all items taken left from previous visit. Several partially, bitten into sweet potatoes remain near the spot.





#22. and #23.---The white tire left hanging from a tree limb has some empty peanut shells inside the circular part of the tire.






#24. thru # 29. At the Frisbee/tool bag tree all food items are gone. Abundant wrappers are all over around the tree and a ways back into the woods.

Both rocks and the hanging yellow tent peg are still at the Frisbee. The large marble is gone. The tool bag has been turned on end hanging from the tree nails.


Actually, the trash food wrappers at this tree covers a radius of approximately 20'.












#30. and #31. I found the empty peanut bag from the pipe bucket approximately 50' from the pipes to the SW.






#32. and #33. Food re-stock items for food bucket #1.






#34. Deer corn pile and additional 4 ears of corn.





#35 thru #37. I spray painted the white bucket with a tan camo paint and put it into a crook of a tree approximately 11' from the pipes and 5'-1" off the ground to the bucket opening.






#38. thru # 43. Frisbee/tool bag food items re-stock.










#44. I took the balls & misc. items from the corral and put them into upside down painted garbage can lids. I moved all the branches and limbs from the corral area and piled them on a limbs pile close by. I also moved the painted white kettle bell in the center.



#45. I moved the 5 tires out to the east of the Frisbee/tool bag tree. I stacked them onto a small mound. I then chained them to a small tree and put the limb that had been left in the past standing vertical in the center of the tires. I hope to have some movement of the tires, etc.





#46. I moved the whiter rock from the 'arch-door' opening to just outside the rock circle.





#47. thru #49. These are the possible ground glyphs. I took 3 of the baseball's I have found and numbered them 1,2,3 and put one inside each glyph.





I just noticed the 3rd one earlier.


#50. I did a re-arrangement around my 'Wilson' ( painted basketball face). I attached the hub cap w/ 6" nail. I stood up a limb as the body and added ground sticks as feet then painted them red.





#51. I moved the small blue ball as a head on the hunter sticks to the crook of a nearby tree and replaced with a ball I painted red then added yellow paint for eyes, nose and mouth.





#52 The blue ball I added yellow eyes, nose and mouth. As noted previous, in the crook of a nearby tree.





#53. My camcorder tripod with a green poncho covering. I leave the tripod with the poncho covering on site. I move it around frequently.





#54. The new balls and misc. found items setup. I moved the water jug to the spot also. I have now painted the water jug blue.





#55. Added food items to new tan food bucket setup near the pipes.




#56. and #57. A possible right foot impression found near the tepee vertical limbs setup. It measures 15"-5.5"-4.5". My cap and tape measure used.







#58. On a pipe I made this small setup. I used a water meter cover and added the 3 various size rocks, comb and large marble. I hope they are taken at some point.






#59. and #60. At the Frisbee setup and hanging tool bag. I had already re-stocked with items this morning. I left the site this afternoon to see if the items would be taken after I leave. This did happen. Wrappers are scattered around the tree, etc. I will go into more detail below.






I used the time today to observe, change up items, clean-up the area, explore more of the sites 1A and B. I took time to just sit for extended periods thinking, speaking out loud, whistling, playing notes on my flute. I also set up my camcorder to record at different times. I rode by bike back to the parking area to bring more items to the site. I had the camcorder recording at this time. Actually, It's hard for me to sit still for extended periods of time. I want to be doing something. The most I could sit is probably 30 minutes. I did take a short nap. All the items photographed above took place thru out the day. I did not notice any other unusual sounds, vocals, etc. while being there.


I was planning on spending the night out here tonight but couldn't do it. I need to spend time at night to see if I can hear vocals, movement, tree knocks, etc. that I'm used to hearing in a research environment. I just can't do it by myself at this time.


I need to report that the camcorder cassette I sent to a researcher friend recently (read field visit #22) for analysis could not take place. For some weird reason, the cassette would not play past the first few seconds on his viewer. It would say ' will not play' ???? We were baffled. He is an expert in this type of analysis. It played perfectly on my Sony camcorder but not his. He decided to remove the tape from this cassette to another, which he has done in the past, it still didn't work. So I'm very disappointed that what I thought was a face could not be verified and I now only have the memory of what I thought I saw.


I actually had high hopes for this visit. As I have reported, some things have taken place this visit. Something seems to take place each visit. This year I have gone the route of trying to have more interaction thru leaving the food items. I was determined on this visit to again leave the site but this time have the camcorder set up to record what was going on at the Frisbee/hanging tool bag tree. Like on the 16th, I was going to leave the site around 3 p.m. for 2 hrs. then return. The Camcorder cassette records for 2 hrs. I would be back by 4 p.m., look over the site and check the tape. I was determined to bike ride over to the pipeline-right-of-way (P-R-O-W) and observe it for a short time. I did do this as part of biking the trail. During the ride my bike began to develop issues and I thought it would breakdown on the trail. I was able to finally ride it slowly to the parking lot. I had also ripped my pants. I made the decision to take the bike back to the house and change pants get a bite to eat and return to the park. Now I had no bike to get me quickly back to the site. I had to hike back in which takes longer. My goal was to be back on site by 5 p.m. or earlier. I didn't get back on site until 5:45 p.m. I was vey unhappy about being so late. My first item to take care of on return was to go over to the Frisbee/hanging tool bag tree. Wow! the sweet treat items on both had been gotten into. I was happy. I was puzzled that at food bucket #1, some of the items were on the ground but the bags were not torn open. Maybe I would have footage of who was taking the treats, etc. The question was when was this done? I hoped not between 5PM and my arriving to the site. I took the camcorder from the tripod and sat down to review. I decided to go back 15 minutes and start viewing at that point. I started viewing and after watching for 5 minutes 4 raccoons came into view climbing up or messing around the tree. One knocked the sweet treat items form the Frisbee and another was on top of the tool bag opening the candy packages and getting at the sweet treats. One of the raccoons could be seen partially on the backside of the tree. After viewing several times I was really disgusted. I wanted to take everything from the site and leave. I was not in a good mood the rest of the time. So I hike out of the site around 7:15 p.m. on a low note. Will I continue?


This concludes field report #25 for Saturday August 29 2015.

Don Monroe Case Files: Unusual Carving Unearthed!

Life-long explorer, adventurer and researcher, Don Monroe, has a million stories to tell, only he's been on the road nonstop, busy hiking the back country in dozens of countries, climbing the highest peaks and crawling in the deepest caves to understand this natural world we live in. He has hunted, tracked, trapped, cast footprints, talked to Native people, continued several-decade long ongoing research projects, devoured tons of research books, and ultimately sought answers about every aspect of nature and all the mysteries within. During those travels, he came across many unusual things. What I am presenting now is one of them -  Don Monroe and a researcher friend named Massey, were up at about 7000 feet on Anaconda Range in Montana. They were tracking a bear when Don noted something sticking out of the ground, just a bit of something, but didn't look like a regular rock.  In this remote area at that elevation, the idea of running across something man-made was unlikely. He s...

Terror of Doll Island!

Photo source Isla de las Munecas or "Island of the Dolls" (popularly coined "Doll Island") is a thing of horror for many. Why would an island filled with dolls for decades, laid to waste by the elements and neglect, be terrifying? Well, let me introduce you to its most unsettling beginnings. Don Julian Santana was unhappy with city life and moved to an island on a canalway south of Mexico City for peace and quiet. It was there that the legend begins and takes on a life that is animated enough to bring the dead to life. Don reported that a little girl had drowned in the canal 50 years ago and he believed her spirit to be troubled and haunting his little island.  He said that he was out one day when he saw a doll floating in the canal and scooped it out, hanging it up on a tree near the drowning spot to make the girl eternally happy so she would not haunt and scare him.  He then became consumed with finding more and more dolls, fishing them out of the canal, sorting t...

Monsters in the Deepest Ocean!

The ocean takes up the majority of the surface on our world and yet so little of what is in it is known to us. Upon occasion, we come across some real mysteries, tantalizing glimpses that make us wonder. For a long time, the giant squid (above) was a legend until it was finally filmed underwater. What other legends might tell us what is in the sea? One creative thinker in 1570 drew up the sea monsters that lay in the waters outside of Iceland. Scientist and artist, Abraham Ortelius had some very fanciful ideas of what awaited the seafarer. He also pondered what might live in the Pacific Ocean. In 1644, another artist/scientist drew up what he thought might lurk in the waters off of Africa. Willem Blaeu had quite an interesting vision. In 1727, Peter Kolb envisioned a sea lion of interesting characteristics - In present day, we still run across things in the sea that puzzle us. Here is one such thing photographed at Hook Island. It was estimated to be 75-80 feet long and to this day the...

Obscure Horror Movies of the 70s and 80s

The 1970s and 1980s were horror movie lovers' heaven! There were movies about nature turning on man because of pollution, witches, devil worshippers, killers, insanity, revenge, demons, families moving into haunted houses, beasts attacking, and teens being slashed.  You might have missed some of the more obscure ones in the offering -  *Descriptions thanks to my favorite movie site IMDB (The Food of the Gods - 1976) The Food of the Gods:  A group of friends travel to a remote Canadian island to hunt, only to be attacked by giant killer animals which have populated the place. The People:   Kim Darby and William Shatner star in this 1972 made-for-tv movie. A woman is sent to a secluded valley to teach school to the reclusive residents' children. The citizens start showing some odd skills and pretty soon the teacher begins to wonder if the residents are human.  The Initiation:   Daphne Zuniga stars in this 1984 slasher that takes place during an initiation sta...

Desert-Dwelling Bigfoot: Yucca Man

There are well known reports of Bigfoot wandering the American Northwest, the Sierras, the Rockies, the Mississippi River corridor and even Florida and the Northeast, but there are Bigfoot reported in deserts too. The assumptions that hair-covered humans would not live there is wrong. We know they are resistant to cold, why not heat? And, if Native Americans could live in such conditions, then surely these denizens of the wild could, too. The Joshua Tree Monument Park and Twenty-Nine Palms areas in the California desert has long had reports of people encountering a tall hairy man, described as a Bigfoot-type figure.  In the early 70s, a man was supposedly being a guard officer at a facility in the Twenty-Nine Palms area. He saw something big emerge from the desert and poised his gun, warning it off. Instead of stopping, it stormed towards him and the man saw that it was a large hairy man. He was so shocked he didn't react and the hairy man knocked him unconscious. It was ...

The Most Bizarre Photographic Finds On Mars!

Mars explorers have sent back photos of some rather unusual, sometimes vague, and often times puzzling items on the surface of the "dead" planet.  This has us wondering, if our own planet no longer supported life, would all the evidence of our having been here be covered up by a millennia of earth, leaving only the occasional hint someone might have been here? Here's a look at a large gallery of photos from the red planet. You come to your own conclusions.... Th e one above, I will chalk up to optical illusion. The stone is actually on the ground in the distance. In the foreground is a rock casting a shadow.  Are we looking at a planet that seems to be dead and yet it has a history of life? What if a civilization that was quite advanced had the opportunity to leave a sick planet for a healthy one not so far away in terms of space travel? Is Mars a planet that never supported life or is it a planet that sustained life long enough to build an entire civilization now buried ...

Ghost Ships and Fata Morgana Mirages

Fata Morgana   Fata Morgana is a complex superior mirage. In this instance, in the horizon a narrow band seen can separate an image, casting what looks like another image superior to the original object. In the image above it appears as if the ship is in the air. Below, the image shows a repeat of it up in the air. Sometimes, the image can be inverted. This occurs when rays of light are bent when they pass through layers that are different temperatures.  Flying Dutchman This legend is talked about among sailors since the late 1700s. The tale says that there was a ship's captain sailing around the most dangerous ocean strait, the Cape of Good Hope. He cursed the elements and swore he would make it no matter what. The ship went down and all perished, but they are said to continue as a ghost ship for eternity in the region of the Southern tip of Africa because of the arrogance. In fact, the legend was picked up and modified for many countries and many sea locations. Perhaps it wa...

Monsters in the Sewers

There was a fantastic X-Files episode involving a sewer-dwelling monster. It was so creepy and distasteful that it almost fascinates the viewer to wonder, what the heck is down in our sewers? I grew up in the 70s when the talk of alligators in the sewers were rampant. The legend went, someone flushed a baby alligator down the toilet and it ended up occupying the sewers of New York City. There were a lot of variations of it, but one of those urban legends that leaves you checking out your toilet before you take a seat. In Florida, a man went out to get his male, heard something hissing at him, looked over at the sewer open and found an alligator sending him warning signals.  This popular video below made the rounds on YouTube and other sites. It certainly gives one the chills to imagine that during a simple camera survey of an ancient sewer works they came across this -  There are some explainable creatures that are still quite creepy that depend on the conditions found in sew...

The Urban Sasquatch Journal: Stick Glyphs

This is the reporting by a Bigfoot researcher of an ongoing study in the Southern part of the United States in a very large park area near homes and urban setting. LINK TO PRIOR INSTALLMENTS STARTING WITH #1 Journal Volume 3 Report #50 Saturday November 26, 2016 I arrived at the park approximately 9:52 AM. The temperature was 65 and cool. It was partly cloudy with high clouds. I had my bike with me and rode the trail first. This took 44 minutes. I was back to back to my car at 10:48 AM. I then got my pack then rode over to the site. The goal of the trail ride was to observe any new tree breaks, twists or limbs etc. broke over the trail. Also to see if any stick signs were along the trail in the grass. I did observe several interesting items on the east end. These I photographed. Trail ride observations with photos. These cover photos 1-8. #1. thru #3. Between mile markers 2.75 and 3.0 , on the north side of the trail, approximately 10' inside the treeline, these possible stick ...
