Come explore the Little Ocqueoc River that disappears underground and then reappears hundreds of feet away. Thanks @Paul Williams for telling me about this place.

It is all the same river. The Little Ocqueoc flows into the Ocqueoc just down M68 a bit from where you turned to go into the road to the underground's. It is less than 10 miles from where I have lived all my life. A very magical spot. Hope you visited the falls too! And that whole track of land is for sale. There has been talk of turning it into a conservatory. I sure hope so.....it deserves to be loved by the public.

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

The Little Ocqueoc is a tributary to the main Ocqueoc then, right? That's what I had assumed. I went to the falls the same day, which was two or three weeks ago and it was in the low seventies. The place was packed with people. I went back last Tuesday and made another video of the falls. Are there any other good places to check out in the Rogers City/Onaway area? I'm in Alpena, so it's not too far to go. I have to get to Mystery Valley and the Bruski and Stevens sinkholes this fall too.

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

@J That sounds pretty chilly. Did you happen to find the area in this video? I had never heard of it although I have been to the falls several times. It's only a mile or so from the falls.

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

dentician2000hotmail are you talking about Dinosaur Gardens in Ossineke? If so, it’s still there and still open. I think it’s the Devil’s River that runs through that property. I don’t remember it going underground in Dinosaur Gardens.

How magical! There is a karst formation at the northern tip of Vancouver Island called the devils bathtub. It features a flooded sinkhole, with an underground river flowing through it, deep at the bottom. The water enters the hole and leaves the hole at different points. Somehow there is a fairly constant depth of water in the bathtub.

I absolutely love vanished streams and rivers and looked for videos to add to a playlist on the topic and stumbled upon this. It is so good. I would love to see an area like this, but live halfway across the country and am not familiar with areas near me (and really not an all-terrain person either, hence watching videos). Did you know that the Danube does this same thing? As in *the* Danube? There's a German documentary on it that is VERY good, but lamentably, the subtitles even in German are absent or nonexistent, depending which channel you choose on YT. That means that even if you find a version with German auto-captions, the *English* captions are pretty wacky. Still, it is extremely interesting to see such a big riverbed just...dry during some parts of the year, and to watch the efforts of scientists to prove that it really does go underground. Thanks for the interesting content!

The Ocqueoc before the falls is not as wild. That is where I've kayak. This is a section I've never seen before. Nor have I seen a river dip out of sight in that fashion. It was nice to see. Even the yellow mushroom was cute. Once again you've entertain the viewers in a professional style that surprises me. Only one question Rock Hound. Where are the stones?

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

You didn't see the stones? They were everywhere! Big too. Maybe you missed them because of all the moss.

@merlinjones6485 4 года назад

@@MichiganRocks yeah I saw the dull gray shale. Guess ya got me there. But you know that your focus wasn't on stones. Just saying if your horizon can change your direction...and thats cool...have you ever heard of the Witchy Wolf of Omer Plains? It's on the Rifle River. OK so that's reaching a little. Truth be told I did like the under ground river. It looked like pretty tough terrain you had to forge through to show us that treat. Good job.

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

I hadn’t heard of the witchy wolf, but I just looked it up. That’s a fun story, thanks for telling me about it.

@jennicawolf77 4 года назад

Wow, that’s so awesome that it’s underground! Have you ever been to Devils Falls in Minnesota? That’d be the coolest thing ever to see that! I want to go there now! There’s an underground spring that flows through a cave near us (SE Wisconsin) that we get water from! There’s also another spring we get water from that looks very similar to this, it comes straight out of the Niagara Escarpment & I can hear the water flowing underneath the ground then it eventually comes out further away! ☺️

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

I haven’t been to Devils Falls. I’ll have to look it up. I have a sister in Minnesota, maybe I’ll have to go visit her and check it out.

@michigan rocks do you edit audio if you do how do you because I need help editing my audio I am having trouble

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

sloth boss I didn’t edit the audio in this video or in most of my videos. Most of the outdoor stuff is filmed with a GoPro. I bought an external mic with one of those fuzzy things on it to cut some of the wind noise. I also avoid filming on windy days the best I can. If there is some wind noise, sometimes I have to remove it in Final Cut Pro. There’s a control that says something like “remove background noise”. If you adjust it too far, it sounds weird, so I just sort of play with it until it sounds the best I can get. It’s not perfect though. I’m on my iPad right now, but if you want more details on FCP, let me know and I can look at the exact name of the thing I use. Mostly though, I just try to film on calm days and don’t adjust anything.

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

I just looked up the microphone I have for the GoPro. It's a Saramonic SR-XM1. It's an omnidirectional mic. I wanted that to capture the environmental sounds around me like the waves and birds. Another mic I considered was the Rode VideoMicro, but it's directional. That means that it's going to pick up mostly whatever is right in front of it. That would be good if you were in front of the camera talking right to the camera and you didn't want other surrounding noises that might be distracting. I am no expert in any of this, but I did some online research before buying equipment.

I'm wondering if a person could collapse into a hole and disappear? The landscape seems fairy like but a little spooky with the roots of the trees and the creek disappearing and reappear ing. Mother nature is amazing.

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

@signecadwallader2158 2 года назад

@AlvaSudden 3 года назад

Are there fish and mollusks and insects underground also? Frogs? PS: I hope you have some badass mosquito repellant.

@MichiganRocks 3 года назад

I have no idea what’s underground. Mosquitos are the least of my bug problems. Bug spray usually works pretty well on them. Flies of various types can be a bigger problem. I don’t remember bugs the day I made this video.

@StereoSpace Месяц назад

That looks like limestone. My guess is there's a shallow cavern system under there.

@MichiganRocks Месяц назад

Yes, it is limestone, and I believe the shallow cavern collapsed into itself.

@copykon Год назад
