Journal Volume 3
Field Visit #7
February 13, 2016



Today's report includes 81 photos with observations.

The goal of this visit was to spend the day at the park at each both interaction sites plus explore the woods west of the ditch.

Before leaving for the park, I discovered my bike had a flat. That meant of course not using my bike today but hiking around. This I didn't prefer but gave into doing.

I arrived at the park around 6 AM and it was dark but I could tell is was partly cloudy with no breeze and cool with a temperature of 55. After gearing up, I left the parking area at 6:15 AM.

On the way, past the .25 marker, at the mid-size cedar tree, I saw the sticks behind the tree. My large limb that I laid across the sticks was gone. I was to take a photo on the way out this afternoon as it was still dark.

Approaching the site 1B entry, a coyote passed in front on me coming out of the ditch moving into the east tree line. At 6:33 AM I arrived at the pipes at site 1B. It was still dark. I limited my movement to just around the pipes. 

I announced my arrival by calling out my name, doing 3 tree knocks, playing notes on my flute and whistling my particular tune. I brought a trash bag to police the area of trash. As I waited for dawn, I was thinking of finding more balls and plastic items later in the day. I also thought of finishing relocating all items to the central deeper interaction area. At 6:45 AM, I blew more notes on my flute. Many birds are singing close-by. Dawn was now breaking. I love being in the woods on a cool morning like today.

My photo observations begin at this point:

#1. thru #3. At pipe #1, my longer, thicker stick is still there with 3 small sticks in place of the past group of larger sticks.???? Also, ball #2 from the storage pipe has been taken and moved to the middle base of the pipe on the east side. ???? Also the sticks that were on the pipe now surround the ball in a particular way.???





#4.  At pipe #2, the bottom stick is now missing??? refer to the previous visit photo.



#5. At pipe #3, the separated left stick, which was set parallel at the previous site visit, is now more angled.????



Photos of new set ups on all 3 pipes:

#6. and #7.  Pipe #1.




#8. and #9. Pipe #2.




#10. Pipe #3.



After doing these new stick set-ups on the pipes, I completed a walk thru the immediate area. I observed the following:

Looked like hogs visited the area just west of the pipes this past week. There were over 30+ rooting spots. All were within a 100' circular area west of the pipes. There also seemed to be possible foot impressions. Following the hogs?

#11. and #12.  The dark patches are the possible rooting spots.




#13. thru #15. A possible right foot impression.????? This was located near the stick bucket on a tree by a ground limb.12"-5"-3.5".





At the ball buckets, the buckets have not been moved.

#16. and #17. At the rocks, the stick was adjusted again.???? The white rock was off the red rock with sticks now over the white rock.????






#18. On the yellow rimmed tire, several balls have been moved some.???? See the previous set-up from a few visits back.





I began to move all the set-ups from this spot to the deeper, central location with the gifting food map case.

At this spot, the following was noted.

#19. thru #24.  The food items were taken from the map case. ????? The wrappers were scattered over the area. The case was still snapped.










#25. and #26. The butter finger candy bar bag. Instead of being unzipped, the corner of the bag was ripped open and the candy bar taken.???? The wrapper I had pinned to the bag was on the ground on the opposite side of the tree it was hanging from.






#27. The red and white tires have been removed from the tree.???? (just like the my original study site). 




#28. The yellow painted bottles have been knocked over and scattered.????





#29. 'Wilson' and cap are now on the ground. Removed from the tree it was in.????





#30.  Food for the gifting map case.





#31.  The map case has been re-stocked with the food and now re-hung.





New set-ups at the central, deeper location follows. Includes the items moved from the balls buckets area to here.

#32. and #33.  The 4 ball buckets mounted to a new tree location.






#34.  I moved the 4 painted teepee limbs here.





#35.  The tan painted sticks bucket.





#36.  Frog doll with other hanging items.





#37. My green poncho.



#38. '
Wilson' with cap in the crook of a small tree.




#39. and #40.  Tires, rocks and balls.






#41. Larger ground limbs laid out in formation with 2 balls, 2 plastic cups and the painted water container.





#42. Re-did the blue stickman with blue antelope.





#43. Attached the blue, red and white limbs to a nearby tree.





#44.  Moved the arch opening limbs to this spot .





#45. Brought the umbrella to near the arch opening limbs.





At 10:40 AM I left site 1B to hike to the P.R.O.W. The hike is around 2 miles. After walking to the 1.25 miles marker, I realized I could not make it with my heavy pack. I decided I needed my bike. I hiked back to the parking area and drove home. This was around 11:30 AM. I got home made lunch, hung out at home for awhile then picked up my bike, went to the shop and had the flat fixed. It was 1:45 PM when I left the bike shop. The temperature was 73, partly cloudy and just beautiful. I arrived back at the park just after 2 PM. I then geared up to ride to the P.R.O.W.

#46. and #47. I stopped again past the .25 mile marker at the cedar tree. I note what I said earlier at this location.






#48. I added another limb to replace the one now gone.





I arrived at the P.R.O.W approximately 2:45 PM. The following observations were noted:

#49. thru #54. All the food items were taken. ?????the bag had been obviously unzipped to remove the large items. It was zipped back to within 3" of fully being closed. The bottom of the bag seems to be ripped at the seam approximately 3" near the bottom hole with the bottom expanded. The wrappers are scattered across the site.










#55. The painted red ball with face was on the ground again.?????





#56. Two of the marbles left in the knot hole were gone.????





#57. The small bag with small items were on the ground approximately 4' from the tree.?????





#58. One stick is now off the chicken wire, on the ground to the right.????





The red stickman layout seems undisturbed.

#59.  Food re-stock items for the hanging backpack.





#60.  Food items seen in the pack before zipping.





#61. Pack zipped up with food items inside.





#62. Pack with food re-hung at regular height: 7'+





#63. Re-set the red ball with face back into the tree crook.





#64. I filled the knot hole with small items.





#65. Re-hung on the top nail, the small container bag.



#66.  This time I left a trash bag to see what would happen.




#67. On top of the chicken wire I put 3 small limbs.





#68. and #69. I was picking up items of trash to the east to throw away when going further to the east, I discovered the missing Native American drawings sheet I was missing. ??????? This had been on a tree in the close-by clearing area. It had been removed and missing for over a month. When I began to consider more the trash items found not fat from the sheet, this may have been a juvenile playground or 'human' education area. The items found included a rubber boot, gas line stick flags( blue and red), PVC piping pieces, 1/2 plastic container and square metal piece.





#70 and #71. Turtles in the close-by clearing area.




#72. I re-hung the Native American drawings sheet near the food pack.




#73. The items found that may be a part of a 'play ground', 'learning' area.




#74. Close-up of the red ball face in the tree crook.




#75. The trash bag with trash items hung on the main tree of the area.




I completed my time at the P.R.O.W. and headed back to site 1B. The time was approximately 3:55 PM. I arrived back at the site approximately 4:20 PM. I've been gone from the site for 5 hours. Looks like a few subtle things have taken place since leaving earlier.

#76. At pipe #3, the large stick is now at an angle.????




#77. At pipe #2, the tiny stick was removed from off the coins and is now besides the dice & rock.????




I left all items as is. Nothing else noticed at the site. I did 3 more knocks. At 4:40 PM, I left to explore the wooded area to the west of the ditch.

#78. thru #80. In passing over the ditch, I found what looked like a ground sticks sign.????






For the next 30+ minutes, I explored the area and eventually found items to bring back to the pipes. These included: 15 balls, 1 plastic, wheeled trash can, a tire, 2 water meter covers, 2 plastic cups and 1 plastic toy. I plan on using all items.

#81. My finds from the wooded area west of the ditch.




Ok. I had a full day and believe I was being watched while at site 1B. I left the area at 5:20 PM.

This concludes field report #7 for Saturday February 13, 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 ...
