Field report #2 

Friday, January 22, 2016


I took off again on Friday. It was a beautiful afternoon but cool with a gusty breeze. I arrived at the park at 3:02 PM. The temperature was 54 bur cold due to a gusty north wind. The sky was blue and clear.

I took 38 photos during this visit. The observations follows.

I did my routine close by bike ride. Again, as I was riding the trail close to the creek I noticed more pockets of balls among the trash pockets along the creek. I stopped at these spots to collect the balls.

#1.  Shows the balls I picked up. This photo is taken next to my car in the parking lot.




I next got my pack loaded and biked to site 1B. This was approximately 3:40 PM. I arrived at the 1B entry at 3:51 PM.

#2. and #3.  A tree limb is now bent over the small trail.????? I sprayed red paint onto the limb. Just bent over enough to make me bend over to get my head under. The highest point of the bent limb is 5'-10" then angles back.




#4. and #5.  Looks like a foot impression. ????? On this one, I can't tell if a right or left foot. It does measure 15" x 4.5" x 3.5". My toboggan cap is 11" at the widest point across the bottom. The direction was from the pipes towards the site 1B entry.




#6. At pipe #2, the small sticks have been moved. ????



#7. and #8.  The bear-bee doll with attached kettle bell was found upside down in a ground hole below where it was on the limb previous. The gusty wind may have caused the limb to bounce or move and it fell off the limb into the hole beneath. I have moved the doll to this present position seen in photo #7. I also added sticks to it between the KB and it's body.






#9. and #10.  At the yellow tire set-up, you have the tennis balls and a white ping pong ball. A close look will reveal 2 small stick twigs are now in the middle with the white ping pong ball in the V of the 2 twigs. ?????






#11.  At the setup with red ball, green sticks and yellow rock, a stick is now under the yellow rock and the right side of the green sticks have been moved. ????





3 of the 4 balls buckets have been tilted again.

#12.   A yellow ball is on the ground by the yellow bucket.????





#13. and #14.  The partially painted blue limb is on the ground again approximately 1.5' from the base of the tree and white bucket with attached drawings.???






#15. thru #18.  I added this Butterfinger candy bar setup. I used a small case with zipper. I attached the wrapper to the case using 2 safety pins. I left it dangling from a small limb extension on a nearby tree approximately 5'-7" off the ground. The candy bar is zipped up in the case.









#19.  The balls I found near the parking area, I left near the set-up of painted rocks.




I moved on into my newest set-up section.

#20. and #21.  Both the red and yellow painted tires have been removed from the stand of small trees and were found flat on the ground near the food gifting spot. ????? I had picked up wrapper trash the last visit but did not restock the food gifting case. I think the tires on the ground was to get my attention about bringing more food items, especially sweet treats. I should be tremendously excited about any tires activity. I guess, I just expect the interaction and am not super excited. But right now looking back it's exciting. There is something about the tires. A game???






#22. The 'BF' montage of drawings I had re-attached to the limb is on the ground again. ???? I guess the drawings are not welcome? Also the gifting map case is still on the ground as I found it last visit.





#23.  This visit I brought the food items.





#24. thru #26.  I put the food items in the map case and used the chain to pull into position. It is approximately 8' off the ground. I re-attached the drawing at the chain attachment on the tree.







#27. and # 28.  I stood both tires against lower tree spots.






While I was pulling the chain, moving the map case with food into position, something (a limb, log) was dropped or tossed somewhere behind me and something moved fast away from me for a short distance. I tried to act like I didn't notice and kept doing my work. I did speak out loud not to run off.
?????

#29. thru #31.  At old boundary marker #3, the montage of 'BF' drawings at that location is now on the ground also. ???? In photo #31., I re-hung the drawings.







#32.  Back at the ball buckets area, I added a painted blue limb across the yellow painted tire rim.





#33. I took the yellow ball, found on the ground near this bucket, and wedged the ball between the bucket and wire handle.





#34. thru #37.  I readjusted all the buckets back to being up-right.








#38.  I went over to the yellow rock, green sticks and red ball set-up and placed a stick vertical in the ground, to acknowledge me noticing the sticks added under the rock, etc.





Before leaving 1B, I experimented by climbing a short ways into a large cedar tree near the 1b entry. Next visit, I will see how high I can go up in this cedar. Actually there are 2 cedar trees growing together. They look to be approximately 60' in height. I need to find a spot to spend the night safely, even if I have to rope myself to the tree.

Well. I had no time left to visit the P.R.O.W. I may be back tomorrow and I'll go there first. No telling what's happened there.

This concludes field report #2 for Friday January 22, 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!

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 ...
