GEYSERS CAUSED FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE ARE ERUPTING NORTH & WEST OF THE OKARCHE AREA.

#1 1W & 7N OF OKARCHE

#2 IN THE 3 DAYS PRIOR, WATER WAS SHOOTING IN THE AIR 10 TO 15 FEET HIGH. NOTE THE MUD MARKS ON THE NEARBY SMALL TREES.

#3 NOW 3W & 6N LOOKING EAST – THIS CREEK IS THE NEW AREA ON 12/12/05 WHICH REDUCED THE FLOW FROM THE AREAS IN IMAGES #1 & #2.

#4 NOW 2W & 6N LOOKING NW.

#5 SAME AREA

#6 SAME AREA

#7 NOW 9W & 1N – QUITE A DISTANCE (6W & 5S FROM IMAGES 3-6) BUT THE SAME CREEK.

#8 SAME AREA – LOOKING NORTH SHOWING A LARGER AREA IN THE FIELD BUBBLING IN NUMEROUS PLACES.

#9 CLOSE UP ON THE ROAD, THE DITCH STARTS TOWARDS THE TOP OF IMAGE.

#10 – UPDATED 12/16/05 BELOW THIS POINT--------------------------------------------------------------

THIS GEYSER BLENDS IN WITH BARK COLOR AND IS IN CENTER OF IMAGE.

#11 CLOSER IMAGE OF ABOVE AND SAME VIEW WITHOUT ERUPTION. ON THIS DAY, IT TENDED TO DO NOTHING FOR 8 TO 10 SECONDS AND THEN ERUPTS AT VARIOUS HEIGHTS.

#12 THE WELL SITE BELOW THAT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF ALL THE GEYSERS. INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL UNSURE, BUT HAVE FOCUSED THEIR ATTENTION TO THIS WELL WHERE DRILLERS EXPERIENCED EXTREMELY HIGH PRESSURE AT 9100 FEET BELOW THE SURFACE. IT BLEW OUT ALL THEIR MUD AND MAY HAVE ALLOWED THE GAS TO ESCAPE UP THE BORE THEN FOLLOW UNDERGROUND FORMATIONS AND FAULT LINES TO THE NE. GEYSERS WITH NATURAL GAS BUBBLING UP HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED AS CLOSE AS 1.5 MILES AND AS FAR AS 12 MILES AWAY FROM THE DRILLING.

#13 A NEW AREA OF SHORT LIVED GEYSERS – 7N OF OKARCHE – SOME AREAS APPEARED AS IF A ONE YARD WIDE GOPHER WORKED ACROSS THE WHEAT FIELD. WAS GETTING DARK AND I WAY OVEREXPOSED THIS IMAGE TO GET ENOUGH LIGHT TO MAKE THE DAMAGE VISIBLE.

#14 – UPDATED 12/17/05 BELOW THIS POINT-------------------------------------------------------------

IT’S A REAL STEAMER THIS MORNING.

#15 – A DIFFERENT ANGLE

#16 – A GEYSER WASHOUT AT EDGE OF ROAD SW OF ABOVE IMAGE.

#17 – AN IMAGE OF THE WELL SITE BURNING OFF THE EXCESS.

#18 – UPDATED 12/20/05 BELOW THIS POINT--------------------------------------------------------------

ANOTHER SHOT FROM 1.7 MILES AWAY OF THE WELL SITE WITH A SETTING SUN AND SUN PILLAR.

THIS FILE WILL BE UPDATED AS MORE INFO/ERUPTIONS OCCURS.
