[californiadisasters] More On Pisgah Crater Eruption That Wasn't

Our esteemed Uber-mod Lin discovered this gem of Tin Foil Hattery on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5uZo5vHcAw&feature=player_detailpage

As some of you may recall recently an Internet Ignoramus I now refer to as Dutchy (short for his webnomen "Dutchsinse") laid an egg (a big goose egg) in response to a radar return showing a chaff drop over Twentynine Palms USMC Air-Ground Combat Center which is nigh unto both Amboy and Pisgah Craters which themselves are about 40 miles distant from one another.

He stirred up a hornet's nest of ignorance and hysteria and paranoia from the sort of crowd that typically self-nominates for Darwin Awards whenever they shed this mortal coil.

Two sweet, simple souls named Yvonne and Angie (sisters actually) went on a windmill jousting, er, "volcano-chasing" excursion to Pisgah Crater (actually they ended up at Amboy Crater but let's not confuse the issue with annoying facts.) (YES, I'm a stick-in-the-mud and a kill-joy).

Anywho, they did capture some cool scenery both geological (how can anybody not like the sight of a lava flow next to a dry lakebed?) as well as meteorological (monsoonal moisture) not to mention some cool Route 66 images.

The plumes they capture on camera are caused by dummy shells fired by either tanks or howitzers which shells contain no ordnance and are used for gunnery practice. Quite possibly some of the plumes are alternately dust devils and/or dust-ups caused by military vehicles traipsing around in the desert conducting maneuvers.

That these two people conducted this Route 66 in full belief of Dutchy's Delusions and then posted it on Youboob days later by which time it was clearly not what Dutchy suggested is somewhat of a surprise to me but perhaps I'm being overly charitable or even just a bit naive ... or even a bit of both! Cheerio!

Check out the comments below the video on it's Youtube page... the peanut gallery has spoken and ignorance has become elevated to a high art form.

Okay, I freely admit I'm a gummint hack trying to trick you into disbelieving there has been a huge eruption of a volcano right next to Interstate-40 and within sight of Barstow and and the traffic between Sin City and La-La Land but that does not matter. It requires my elaborate lies to suppress this truth.

The next cultural phenomenon following the Tea Party Movement quite conceivably could be the 2011 Pisgah Truther movement!
