ELKO, Nevada: Just outside the chasm of the biggest open-pit gold mine in North America, there is an immense, ever-flowing oasis in the middle of the Nevada desert. It is an idyllic and isolated spot where migratory birds often alight for a stopover. But hardly anything about it is natural.

This is water pumped from the ground by Barrick Gold of Toronto to keep its vast Goldstrike mine from flooding, as the third-largest gold company in the world carves a canyon 1,600 feet, or 485 meters, below the northern Nevada aquifer.

Gold mines drain nearly 10 million gallons, or 38 million liters, a day in the driest state in America and the fastest growing one, propelled by the demographic rocket of Las Vegas. It is just one of the many strange byproducts of the tangled Nevada love affair with gold.

this is very interesting, what happens to all the empty caverns of what used to be filled with water?

I have to run out it's my daughters birthday and get her a cake I'm to lazy to make a crooked one, lol.

This has me really concerned and I will check USGS and count the quakes, please be careful and use your senses as you have been doing.

My best

Our links in the original post are now working, thanks to 12m8keall2c, who spent the past hour working on this for us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Okay, what the heck is going on.

I checked the USGS quake list this morning and it had 2 quakes listed on it, one Reno, one Mogul I believe.

I looked aroundwent back and I see now a list with a total of 27 quakes on it instead of 2. I went out came home and it's back to 2.

Okay, what I am coming up with is at 8:26:45 the quakes for today listed count 27 at 10:32:19 only 2 are listed what happened to the other25. Seems they updated the 2 at 10:36:34 with different depth.

Why would they have eliminated 25 quakes, I did manage to print a copy of the 27 at the 8 o'clock The 10:32 I didn't get it changed just as I was going to print. 10:36 was still up at beginning of writing this.

Doesn't make sense, do you have any ideas why they would eliminate 25 quakes.

edit to add: I can't believe I just went back and it has a 11:00:03 update still only 2 listed. Seems they are updating this quite often and changing things around so we know someone somewhere is right on this but what the heck are they doing?

I'm glad the 2 of u picked that up. I think it's like we are only going to get what they think we need to know maybe.

These people are playing with human lives they better cover there a&&es real good.

edit to add: They are still updating but not adding on.

I was talking to a friend of mine today who I hadn't seen in a couple months and she told me her cat disappeared a few weeks ago-- never to be seen again, just like SpaceDoubt's cat. He also lives in Reno.

The animals know.

I still hope their cats will come home again when all of this is over.

I see the 2 you listed for today maybe they are now keeping seperate lists because all the ones in Ca. near Mammoth Lake and surrounding areas aren't there.

Seems the USGS has been keeping an eye on that area for a very long time with the geysers and all, I bet it's getting more active. I read where a large area had dead trees because of the CO2 coming up out of the ground and they monitor for safety reasons.

If trees are dying because of the CO2 coming out of there. I would say that is a major problem in my eyes.

I wonder if that Sulfur is still being smelled at Lake Tahoe?

Updating "symptoms".

Headache across eyes now, but mostly in right temple, fairly intense. Mid-back pain, center. Hawaii? Close-up vision just terrible today and I don't wear glasses either. Pacific NW? Dogs seem normal, but I've been gone most of the day. The rottweiler behind my back fence did knock out a couple fence slats. And I did see an ant in the living room-- I've been here eight years and I've never seen an ant in my living room....

I noticed today while out and about, that birds were swooping low right in front of my vehicle and I thought I would hit them, but barely missed them. They seemed "suicidal". Saw a squashed squirrel in the road too.

Julia's missing cat is the third I've heard about. My next door neighbor's cat just disappeared in March. I used to feed Cumin when they were out of town. He always stayed between their yard and mine. He just disappeared and never came home.

I see there has been 15 small quakes throughout California didn't see anything listed for Nevada yet.

I am trying to take everything into account and I saw Hawthorne on the map which has only had a couple small quakes I think this is the location John Lear talked about there being a submarine base in the middle of the desert there... wonder if the military is blasting underground tunnels from land to waters? I wouldn't think so but you never know and thought I would throw it out there only because we talked about Pyrimid Lake. Lake Tahoe and Mammoth Lake.

After looking at everything one thing I would say is I hope it is stopped that they don't allow that Nuclear Repository in the Yucca Valley.

edit to add: I just watched the tape posted and I will admit I know nothing about Frogs but they just seemed to be confused or is this the way they would normally be. I was looking to see if they were all heading in a certain direction like let's get out of town but I couldn't make heads or tails out of it.

I looked on the map and it seems Bakersfield is much lower on the map then where these quakes are happening and this is interesting to me, I can't connect anything!
