Field Visit #4
January 31, 2016 


This field visit has 55 photos of observations with explanations.

I left home at 2:30 PM and arrived at the parking lot at 2:47 PM. It was a beautiful day with a blue sky and high clouds. The temperature was 78. I loaded my back pack and headed to the P.R.O.W as quick as possible. I was on the trail by 2:54 PM. 


Just past the 1/4 mile marker, on the north side of the trail 2 limbs were laid in an 'L' shape??? Then just down the trail, off the south side of the trail, I saw this (below) interesting pair of limbs leaning against the rear of a small cedar tree. I stopped to take this in. Wow! This was thought provoking. Were the 'Forest People' doing this, knowing me and when I will be on the way to the site? I took photos of both groups. It was just not ordinary.

#1. and #2.  The 'L' glyph????? on the north side of the bike/hike trail.




#3. thru #5.  The 2 limbs are vertical and leaning against the rear of the tree. ????? This is just down the trail from the 'L' glyph on the south side of the trail. I added a long limb on the ground to the rear of the cedar tree.





I thought about this for awhile then moved on to the P.R.O.W.

#6.  Near the 1 mile marker, off the south side of the trail, I saw these limbs around a tree. I parked my bike and took those limbs and made my own ground glyph. Will they be moved at some point?



I biked on over to the P.R.O.W. I arrived approximately 3:20 PM.

I parked my bike inside the tree line and made my observations:

#7. The food gifting backpack was unzipped and open and all food items gone.



#8. Several empty wrappers are located underneath the pack. ??????



#9. thru #11.  The empty cereal/bag/wrapper, trail mix bag/wrapper, and unshelled peanuts bag/wrapper. ????? 





#12. and #13.  The limbs square with balls have been moved around. Balls and limbs. ?????




#14. and #15. The black 'BF' drawings folder was removed from the tree and placed at the base of the tree as seen in the 2 photos.?????




#16. thru #18.  Different photo angles of the limbs square with balls. There is a longer limb that has been laid near the square, close to the right side.???? This is seen in all 3 photos.





#19.  I removed the yellow caution tape and the other drawings from the site. My cap was left in place.



#20.  New food items for the zippered back pack: Dry cereal, smores bar, granola bar, 3 candy bars, cookie, honey bun.



#21.  The pack is refilled with the food items and zippered and pulled back to the regular height, approximately 7' off the ground to the zippered opening.



#22.  I removed the red painted ball and plastic garbage can lid from it's prior set-up to the large tree. The ball was put in the lower crook of the tree. The lid , I hung on a nail.



#23.  The chicken wire mesh was still intact with nothing changed. I took 4 sticks and added them inside the mesh.



#24. and #25.  Near the limbs square and long ground limb there seemed to be a possible, strange looking, right foot impression. The measurement is 12"-5.5"-2.5".?????





#26. and #27.  These small items (3 rocks, penny, marble, nail, and round piece of plastic) I put in the small bag and hung from the nail with the plastic garbage can lid.




#28. and #29.  I painted these limbs red and put on the ground as a 'stick' person. I took the balls from the square and laid out as a head figure.




#30. There were still several marbles in the tree knothole opening.



I continued to be intrigued by the happenings here at the end of the park. I left the P.R.O.W. at 4:20 PM and arrived at site 1B around 4:40 PM.

Site 1B observations:

#31.  On pipe #2, the 2 smaller side sticks have been moved.???? The one next to the coin has been moved approximately 1/2" from the coin. The other side stick by the rock was angled.



#32.  I re-arranged these into a new set-up on the same pipe.



#33. and #34.  On pipe #1, a group of sticks have been placed.???? Some seem to be interwoven??? Wow!




#35. I added this stick perpendicular to those in place and left them as is.


#36. and #37. This could possibly be another stick glyph in front of pipe #2, the right side.?????





#38.  I took the sticks from the possible ground glyph and placed on pipe #3, in this particular set-up. Will they be moved?



#39. and #40.  Further into the site, at the rocks and balls set-up. the smaller blue rock on the right side was on the ground. ??? Some of the balls have been repositioned. ???? Refer to a previous visit set-up.






#41.  At the yellow tire, 2 balls around the rim have been repositioned.????


#42.  I added to the yellow tire set-up, 7 small sticks I painted green, the red ball and yellow rock.




#43.  I re-stacked the rocks and re-positioned the balls into a new set-up.




#44.  I moved the bear/bee doll to this spot near the rocks and balls.




#45.  Again, further into the site. Wow! 2 of the tires, blue and red are now on the ground removed from the trees.????? To the right side of the photo, the 'BF' drawings sheet was on the ground near the white painted kettle bell. ????



#46.  The empty map case was still snapped shut. Currently,it seems, if I go a few visits and do not being some treats, the tires are removed from the trees as a reminder to get it in gear with the food items.




#47.  Food items for 1B: dry cereal, 3 candy bar treats, cookie, honey bun, smores bar, granola bar.



#48.  Food gifting map case re-stocked, snapped closed, and pulled up to approximately 7' off the ground.




#49.  I set up the 2 tires as seen with a large log holding the red tire vertical. This was put beneath the map case.




#50. I put my 'Wilson' in the crook of the tree and have the painted plastic garbage can lids hanging together.


#51. This shows the feeding spot with other items in place, etc.



#52.  I put these 3 bottles into a new position. Will they be messed with?



#53.  I brought the painted tire rim with painted 6" nail to the tree. All these are familiar items.



#54.  The deer antler and 6" nail left for me in the past. I hung as an appreciation for receiving. Also, the other 2 tires left in the tree are seen.



#55.  Dream catchers I moved from other spots to the main tree.



Another interesting visit. I never know what will happen next; however, I do expect something to have happened.

I left the area approximately 5:45 PM.
This concludes field report #4 for Sunday January 31, 2016

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...

Scary and Precarious Roads!

Summer road trip time - why not consider scaring the crap out of your family? The road to Big Sur (above) is sure to separate boys from men.  Highway 1  is an intense cliff hugging drive along the coast for 122 miles from Monterey to Morro Bay. Independence Pass from Aspen to Leadville in Colorado.   Highway 82  is a 187-mile white knuckler. And if that's not enough, you take the over 1000-foot tall highest suspension bridge in the world! Great Smoky Mountains National Park "Tail of the Dragon" in North Carolina/Tennessee  Highway 129  takes you on 11 miles of awesome views. Clinton Road , Passaic County, New Jersey.   Seriously paranormal , " If you are visiting the road at midnight, stop by the bridge at Dead Man’s Curve for a game of catch. Toss pennies into the water, and the ghost of a young boy will toss them back.  A gray wolf with red eyes will stalk you from the bushes.  Satan worshippers will hang hang up their bloody clot...

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 ...
