Journal Volume 3
Field Visit #28
Sunday July 31, 2016

I got an early start on this visit. I got up at 5:30 AM and prepared to go to the park. I began loading everything to take with me. It was dark and so warm this early in the morning. The temperature was 80, humid and I was sweating like crazy. It was going to be another 'scorcher.'

I finally left my house around 6 AM for the park. I arrived at approximately 6:18 AM. For a change, the park gates were open before 7 AM. 

Dawn was approaching. The sky along the east horizon was dark. Rain would be approaching later from the east. Also, in a clear part of the sky to the east there was a neat crescent moon. Upon arriving, the temperature was still 80.

I was prepared to bike straight to 1B. I made multiple trips to take new items in and old items out. At 6:28 AM, I was ready to bike to the site. 

I arrived at the site entry 6:35 AM. I unloaded my pack into the top storage pipe and headed back to my car for another load. Before going I did my standard blowing the whistle, called out my name and did 3 wood knocks: All this to note my arrival to the area. 

At 6:45 AM, I was at the car getting another load for my pack. I left the parking area and made it back to the site approximately 7 AM. The sun was now higher and the woods clear to see thru.

After removing the pack and items, I began to make the following observations w/ photos:

#1. thru #3. At pipe #1, the rock and twigs have been spread-out on the pipe. The marble was on the ground, on the west side of the pipe. ?????








#4. and #5. On pipe #2, the balls are still in the same spots but the sticks have been moved.????





#6. and #7. At pipe #3, one stick from the previous set-up was now on the ground. Another stick was moved around. ????


Around the pipes, I have been keeping limbs and sticks clear of the immediate spot but more keep appearing. ???? Maybe the wind is bringing more off the trees, but it doesn't seem like it. They seem to come from the limbs and sticks from stick piles on the ground off the path/trail. Here were two.






#8. Limbs on the east side of pipe #2. ????





#9. Limbs on the north side of the pipes. ????





At pipe #4, the previous visit set-up looks the same and not bothered.

#10. At pipe #1 a new set-up looking from west to east.





#11. Same as #10 looking from east to west.





#12. At pipe #2 anew set-up looking from east to west.





#13. Same as #12 looking from west to east.





#14. and #15. At pipe #3 a new set-up with sticks and have added a ball. Both photos looking from north to south.






#16. I moved 2 larger limbs to the pipes. One is vertical, the other horizontal. Maybe they will be moved.





While at the pipes, I heard possible steps off in the distance. Possible limbs, sticks, ground clutter snapping and crunching.????

I considered bringing the 'little Joe Young' doll from the deeper area to the tree crook near the storage pipe. The Monkey doll was last in this tree crook when it disappeared from the site. I have never discovered were it may be. 

I had my bionic ear and parabolic dish with me. I listened for awhile but their was too much vehicular noise from the surrounding highways. I put the bionic ear and parabolic dish away. 

At 7:45 AM, I left the pipes area and moved to the deeper set-ups area. When I got into the spot, something took off moving to the east from NE of me. It was a dark figure. I got just a glance. Then to my south more movement. Deer? hog? I don't know but the movement of both was not far. When I have fast movement that ends up not going far, I typically speak out, 'I'm here as a friend and no need to run off'. After this took place, I made the following observation in the deeper area:

#17. The rock has been removed from the food bucket and the antler left hanging on the bucket was also on the ground. ?????





#18. The comb which also was hanging from the bucket was now on the ground among the food wrappers, etc. ????





#19. All the items seen in an overall view.?????





#20. I had this drawings folder attached to nail on the side of the food bucket tree. Part of the edges have been ripped from the folder.????





I decided to remove the beads, name letters, etc. from the bucket and tree.

#21. and #22. New: 2 limbs laid out like an 'X'. ????This was between the food bucket tree and tires tree. I'm not sure what to make of it. One may not want me here, other(s) may want me here. I'm not going anywhere! I remove the 'X' and pile with other limbs.






#23. The painted red tire with white markings has been removed from the tree crook and was now on the ground under the limbs. ????





#24. and #25. At the garbage can set-up, the ball marked with #4 has been removed from the set-up at the top and was found on the ground.????






#26. On the ground was the stick from the top.???? It had been parallel in the set-up. Refer to the previous visit photo.





#27. I added a plastic cup on top of the set-up and put ball #4 and the stick back on the set-up.





#28. Here are the food items for the bucket.





#29. A blurry photo. The food items added to the bucket and the rock put back on top of the items.





#30. I have removed the items mentioned earlier from the bucket and tree.





The following are new set-ups in the deeper area.

#31. I re-hung the antler and comb on the tires tree again.





#32. I moved the map case paint container bag to the tires tree.





#33. I moved the beads, drawings folder and blue painted wooden letters to the tires tree.





#34. I put the red tire back into the tree crook.





#35. thru #37. I laid out the cloth sheet on the ground. I had the writing side up and laid out 10 balls in a particular pattern. I laid out sticks as crossed arrows-referring to 'friendship'.







#38. I hung a 'BF' drawings sheet and Native American drawings sheet from a vine on location.





#39. A look of both the ground sheet and drawings set-ups from west to east on the site.





#40. thru #43. I re-set up items at and around the garbage can set-up.








#44. Just noticed that the ground stick has been moved.?????





#45. I reset the sticks, etc.





#46. I moved the 'Little Joe Young' doll to the tree crook next to the top storage pipe.





At 9:45 AM, I left 1B to hike the creek moving east on the north side. I left in the storage pipe my extra back pack, bionic ear, parabolic dish, camp chair. I also left my bike close to the pipes. I began hiking just outside the treeline on the east side of the ditch walking south to the junction of the main creek then walking east along the creek.

#47. thru # 50. I walked east along the creek staying on the north side. The treeline on both sides of the creek has been cut back approximately 20'.
Before being cut back the growth was right up to the creek on both sides.








Approximately 10:30 AM during my hike along the creek, a huge group of crows gathered above me in the trees, 'cawing' like crazy. The most crows, I've seen or heard at one time. After a while, half flew off to the north. The remaining ones sounded like they were competing as to which among them could be the loudest. They soon flew off. the whole thing was very strange to me. 

I walked a little further and decided to head back to 1B. As I headed back to the west, I had to check out few spots along the way. I didn't pay attention earlier but now I had to take a look.

#51. thru #52. I came across what seemed like a blind to possibly ambush an animal (deer, hog, other). This was located near where a small branch, creek would empty perpendicular into the main creek. The blind opening was towards the creek.






#53. The interior of the possible blind. The flooring is just the sand from the creek.





#54. and #55. Next to the possible blind in the mud, sand looked like a 3-toed right print.???? 18" long. My first time to see a possible 3-toed print period.






#56. thru #60. As I headed back west I saw what seemed to be another blind. This one was next to a possible trail coming from the north and ending at the creek. The blind opening here was on the west side to the trail going by. Outside of the blind was a pile of brush, limbs etc. that something could hide behind and reach for as something passed by.









#61. As I neared the ditch from the creek, I cut north thru site 1A. I looked for more balls and plastic items from past flooding. The photo show the balls and plastic items found along the creek and site 1A.





I made it back to 1B and put up the balls, etc. What a morning. I left the site approximately 11:25 AM. The temperature on leaving was 91 and I was soaked from the humidity. I drank at least 80 ounces of water. It did rain a little close to the parking area. This was an exciting visit today.

This concludes field report #28 for Sunday July 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!

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...

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 ...
