YELLOWSTONE UPDATES (2014) : ... Strange things happening @ Yellowstone...

It is the only way to do it!

Unfortunately, I keep reading this kind of statement in professional and peer-reviewed journals: 'we still don't undertand it'...etc.

I'm sorry to say, but I feel that the above sounds really fishy. Yes, roughly 10% of bison die over the winter, and roughly 30% of the younger bison die over the winter but at last count there were over 4000 bison at the park. Since the park is so massive, one of 2 things is going on here.

1) A larger than average number of bison went into the start of winter in bad shape

or

2) something else killed a large number of bison.

I'm leaning toward number 2, and I feel that it could be related to gases coming up from the ground around the geysers.

Either I'm right or I'm wrong, but something seems bad about this.

In the picture "..Old Faithful Geyser is predicted to erupt at 11:11...". Is anyone there seeing 11:11 during the day?

WTF...

I found this post at Yellowstone Forums from a visitor who claims that there have been three suspicious deaths of bison at the same spot at different times...

[link to forums.yellowstone.net]

Excerpt:

"Dad and I spent Fri - Sun in the Park. On Friday, we saw a dead cow bison at the top of Blacktail, across from the "Forces of the Northern Range Self-Guiding Trail." It was very close to the road and so we weren't surprised to see the Park Service remove the carcass (too close to the road and at a place where people stopping could create a management issue) - we actually ended up parked watching as the road was temporarily blocked by the pickup into which they loaded it. Okay, so that wasn't strange... winter kill, or so it appeared, with spine, pelvis and rib bones quite apparent.

However, two other cows were there at the same location and, by Sunday, they had died as well. On Sunday, we saw Park Service personnel at that location and appearing to investigate one of the carcasses. It does seem a bit odd that three would die at the same location - a location where, at least to the best of my knowledge, there are not gas vents (bison do sometimes die in groups around gas vents). Anyone hear anything?"

The other posters on this thread can't accept the possibility that there might be NEW gas vents opening up. The discussion devolves into a flame war about gun control and poaching.

Whereas the OP of that post doesn't sound convinced that it was poachers at all.

A few times I have ventured to include 'readings from Space', which actually appear to correlate with 'events'.

My understanding is that this is not too accepted by many professionals...a bit similar to those naysayers -or well-paid ignorers- in Nuclear Technology, who have been brain-washed into NOT SEEING what's right before their eyes. Think Japan, and depleted uranium, oh, and nuclear waste debacles...as at Hanford.

With my little anti-nuclear rant said, I will now apologize to geologists for the 'well-paid' part of that Nuclear analogy. I had to add that, because it has always been part of it. In no way would I infer that EQ/Volcanic scientists are in this mix...although I suspect that here and there there are people placed in State positions to 'over-look' or 'skew' any relation between BAD FACILITIES on fault lines.



We are not static in time and space...as the Moon shows us twice a day like clockwork.

Extra-planetary influences are just ONE aspect I hope is being seriously monitored.

and, possibly grasses and scrub which have grown in poisioned soil?

Been a pretty eventful day.

The more I see articles like this, [link to magicvalley.com]

The more I think something REALLY IS going to happen.

I'm not sure what you mean by 11:11

Isn't that the time in Wyoming?

Or is this a numerology superstition?

Why do they keep pointing the camera at the ground?

They do that while the geyser is erupting although i really don't understand why.

Why indeed.

Either they want you to see whats happening, or they are trying to stop muck sticking to the lens?

Haha volcanoes may die! Yes, senior dumbass in charge, volcanoes do go dormant. But not when they sit on a MANTLE HOTSPOT. That's heat directly from the mantle of our planet, I sure hope to god that never disappears or we're all completely done for.

What you see on this shows that the magma is moving. And the pictures that show a truck going up to Ole Faithful, yes, they were taking measurements.
Talked to Hubby... in the last 48 hrs, parts of the area has risen 3 inches. Yes, I know that does not sound like much. But think about how much magma has to rise to make the land move up. And no, they do not want the public to know.

Indeed 3 inches of uplift is not a good sign. 48 hours for 3 inches of uplift is MOST certainly not a good sign at all. In fact, that would make me assume that either a new dike or sill has formed from the chamber itself or there has been an intrusion of magma trying to push upwards to release the pressure.

Thank you for the update Elfsong.

Everyone might want to watch the cam right now.

It's shaking viciously over and above the wind motion and the seismo agrees, however slight the tremors are:

Elfsong, 3 inches in 48 hours? That's huge!

No wonder the helicorders are so colorful. The pressure underground must be amazing.

Thank you for the information.

Thank you for the update Elfsong :)

Of the information concerning the dead Bison, I do not have any access to that area. However, should the ground be releasing gas from the pressure underneath, it could be anything from sulfur to any other toxic gasses. Remember, quite a few Bison were seen leaving the area over a month ago. Along with some of the Elk. Maybe these were a few that did not know where to go or how to leave the area.

On a joking side,
I am hoping that they were out there to "Burp the Baby" so that he will go back to sleep for another couple of hundred of years.
Anyone else hope they were doing that?

I suddenly feel like crying.

thank you Elfsong and thank you to your hubby for the info.

Damn, the camera is well interesting - was great watching the ants on the ground directly below the camera for 5 minutes. Glad they keep pointing it straight down, way more interesting than looking at the geysers. Then........was that a herd of peops with hard hats I glimpsed as the camera was swung up so fast we saw only sky for a minute? Just till it came back down and zoomed to show the geyser, making sure the peops were just out of shot?

Faaarrrk, man this sucks!!!!!!!!

Wow!

I don't doubt this.

Remember when you (?) first posted pictures of the bison grazing at Electric Peak? [link to www.nps.gov]

Anytime I go to that cam since, I fail to see any creature grazing.

(EDIT AFTER POST: Ha! just looked again, and there they are, trying to make a liar out of me! Well, It's good to see them...I hope)

If gases are permeating up to and through the frost line, the plants which serve as food are being poisoned as their roots absorb the gases.

When I first followed the events at the Bayou Corne Sinkhole, I expected those trees to already be browned or dying from all of the breeched sulfur mines...yet, they linger on. This is when I discovered that it is used as a preservative on fruits and vegetables.

A plant pathologist should start taking samples of plant roots, to see what is actually being absorbed, instead of checking the soil, should small amounts be released into the air, and possibly go undetected.

At least, rule this out. I would not bank on point of death soils to be the point of any poisoning.

Sulfur Dioxide

" “Serious” effects are those that evoke failure in a biological system and can lead to morbidity or mortality (e.g., acute respiratory distress or death).

“Less serious” effects are those that are not expected to cause significant dysfunction or death, or those whose significance to the
organism is not entirely clear."

Yikes! That can't be good!

Thanks for the info. I still think that the area were the cam is mounted is breathing heavily at times, often rising and holding before coming back down.

That cam was jerking yesterday, in stepped fashion at least once while I watched.

Today I have been busy looking on the web, so I've not had the chance to catch up since early this morning.


Someone posted that today has been active. Can anyone fill me in?

The Borehole right now:

dipping or something?
