This film has everything; music, writing, humor, editing, thrills, interviews are wonderful, information, gorgeous photography, relevant, sympathetic first person narration; something for everyone. Very respectful and humorous. Thank you for this gift of a short film. So much respect given to the mountain in your story-telling. It shines. Just beautiful.

[@franzwaltenspuhl8892]

Good documentary, thanks! If you look at Mt. Konocti while traveling from Lower Lake to Kelseyville the outline resembles a sleeping maiden. This was pointed out to me when I moved here.

[@adammmmmmmmmmmmm]

What an amazing video. It really filled me with a mixture of wonder and nostalgia. I think you have a real talent for this kind of content. Don't stop now, this can go somewhere big.

[@seanK-pi6of]

Amazing! Great narrative unfolding and use of music! I thought you were a goner going into that cave!

[@th8298]

I miss my home. I've experienced some crazy things growing up in Kelseyville on single springs Rd and Bottle Rock/Brower Ln. From Spirits, UFO's( just like the last guy on here talking about the UFO... Triangular in shape HUGE and with brighter lights at each point with smaller lights in between. And in-between the lights were symbols.No sound , and moving very very slow...right above me slowly moving towards Cobb mountain. That happened in 95 or 98 ? I can't remember but it was crazy to experience that) Nessy, hearing strange sounds at night, orbs of light following me which had been captured even in the pictures I've taken. You name it and it's all there surrounding Mt. Konocti . I do miss my home... It's calling me back. I do want to say ... That was great research on all of this. You deserve more ratings and more views. I have tried doing my own research but didn't get close to finding all those tv reports and how in the world did you find that hole/cave. Very impressive to say the least. You did a great job.

[@deadliftenthusiest]

I grew up in lakeport, nowhere I’ve been has the same charm as that place, however I won’t be going back to lake county unless I have enough money to retire 😂 not enough jobs unless you’re a linesman or work for the government lol

[@therustyduck5400]

Growing up at the base of Konocti, I really enjoyed this Sun Dog, hoping to get up there and hike Konocti this spring.

[@marielopez2276]

When I was child we lived in Clear lake. I used to see little people all the time but they DIDN’T look like what we call little people now and they were much smaller remember like it was yesterday now I have some insight as to why I used to see them even though I think my family thought I was crazy as a child or just had a great imagination not sure which one 😂

[@Adam-vn5pl]

Could you describe how they looked?

[@cotatirick]

OUTSTANDING... You did an amazing job on this!!

[@t_catalyst]

This is so amazing watching it from Kenya 💝❣️in Africa

[@future_me_6067]

This was very nice. I really appreciated the archaeology and the age of some of those artifacts. Good job and thank you.

[@flambogaming733]

This is so sick awesome to see people finally making quality videos on the area and actually diving into it I can really appreciate a quality video people can now watch when they look into coming to lakecounty having grown up hearing the stories I’ve always just wanted to assemble a team and just go search for a way in the mountain and in the creek in kelseyville it goes from 5’ to 25-30’ deep with walls of clay and slides carved in clay goin from the shore aswell as being littered with arrowheads and a location of a supposed child eaten by a large catfish with no eyes long time ago I tried messaging adventure twins who were interested in finding a way to explore the cave but I think they gave up caves are too unstable probly flooding and volcanic gases so basically hardcore level 😂

[@LouLou-ii4ux]

Nice work Sun Dog! Love seeing and learning so much more about Konocti. Going to go take a walk in the rain😊🌟

[@Sdedalus-m1f]

I am not superstitious but I believe that. there is something evil about Lake County. Bad thing happen there.

[@goldenratio5117]

Reed boats were also mentioned about ancient Lake Lahohntan Nevada. Little people are also know by Native Americans here in the Pacific Northwest. Mentioned by the Yurok, and Wintu Winnemum tribes.

[@davidreguera2619]

Lots of good content there thank you very much I have a friend of mine that has property there and I just spent 4 days painting and 4 days losing my bait to something very big

[@poetmaggie1]

How ever long an area has been occupied by humans, there is a question of how often was the population has been changed out by invading other groups, and how often the area was abandoned and then rediscovered. The people there now have no direct DNA connection to the people there a thousand and more thousands of years

[@bubpori5105]

You Could Imagine A Ancient Cave Warmed by all that Thermal Activity Would be a Place to Stay During the Ice Age ! Reduced Height Cave Dwellers in a City of Gold for Lighting Effects with Fires Simulated Day Light Inside ! Konocti Gold , Catfish , Deep Blue Lake Connection !.

EPIC

[@Beamer_707]

Watch out those little people throw rocks at you if your close to the shore at night time. Iv seen then twice they have no faces

[@satman13]

This is awesome work

[@Rody_le_Cid]

man.. I used to watch old Sundog documentaries in high school, back in the 70s and 80s.. on rain days, the teacher would roll out the projector and show these old reels of film that had been shown countless times throughout the years.. granted, the older films are more in depth since it used to be easier to gain access to hidden and less traveled paths.

[@gailbracy3813]

It sounds exactly an old style doc, doesn't it!

[@willowjac]

I love this. Did you just give up? I need more.

[@collinsloan2593]

My dad and brothers helped dig in that tunnel entrance in 1994. I was sick the day they helped so I didn’t go.

[@krosmo]

Amazing documentary man. What a treat it was to stumble across this. I've watched it a couple times and have shown it to many friends and family members. Professional level story telling. Mt Konocti is truly as beautiful as it mystifying. Best wishes to you.

[@jsbarone]

Dude, awesome documentary. I never knew about any of this, I'm definitely going to check it out. Thank you for making this!

[@Cobbmtngirl]

I watched this with much interest. I’ve always loved Konocti & have hiked it quite a few times. I live in Cobb Mtn. area & those earthquakes triggered by the geothermal power plants are annoying. I do see the maiden when traveling highway 29 as another mentioned. Thanks for sharing.

[@ELECTRIC_WIZARD_]

This is a great documentary sir and deserves success

[@rn2dresq]

It appears you're doing this solo. As I understand, there is a group or club with your same interest as you in that area. Have you contacted them?

[@mafic_taco7061]

Bro! Awesome video . Have you considered applying to National Geographic?

[@teebo3069]

[@andrebuendia3554]

Such a good video, grew up hearing stories about all Of this from my grandpa! Awesome to hear the historical value of it

[@thegadphly3275]

Good work. Quality improves as you go along. You learned a lot, and taught us too. Thanks.

[@westonmickey3890]

I witnessed a similar phenomenon December 25th 2022 over Chico California which is about 2 hours due north east of Clear Lake. After doing extensive studying about this phenomenon that I witness for about 4 to 5 minutes, I was able to conclude that it is a phenomenon called ball lightning that has been documented since humans have been documenting their time. I thought it was a drone at first until I was able to get out my binoculars and really asphyxiated on this orange circular electro ball looking thing that I witnessed in the sky.

[@doordee3663]

24:52 girl no. Are you doing this by your freakin self? Legit if you're at the top of a cave entrance, it can go down a long way. Spelunking alone is dangerous especially without proper gear.

[@debbilinnebur2075]

Well done, except for inability to hear the oral history of the native American speaking.Really good research and photography. Thanks for posting, susctibed.

[@VentureBroJoe]

Great theory on the quartz, let's Collab

[@Loagun]

That it comes out of volcanic vents....

[@VentureBroJoe]

@@Loagun no, that the light is pressurized quartz. A quartz crystal watch purely runs on the power of the pressurized quartz crystal within it and that's how it keeps time on the second as well. We have a very unique quartz Crystal here in LC, they call it the double quartz and it is possible if a large quantity is pressurized it could emit a light

[@detectivelifem.d.3537]

@@VentureBroJoe Quartz when exposed to radium also can store light in a yellow or golden hue. You can also rub or strike quartz crystals together to produce a flash or spark, which is exactly like you said, the way our modern watches function. Great content Mr. Dog I look forward to seeing more.

[@Brian-te9be]

Other natives called these little people the "Moon-Eye" they only came out at night, and lived in caves, were little hobbit like people. Great video, love the style - reminds me of a 1970's documentary.

[@SUNFUNSTF]

Ayooo like whatttt???👀👀

[@justinbrown2212]

I had this weird thing happening for a few months where I kept seeing white flashes moving hella fast. Being a glasses wearer, I thought I was just catching glares, but it seemed to be more than that. Some days it wouldn't happen at all, some days dozens of times. Then there was the main event, and I swear on my life this happened. I finished cleaning in a room far away from the main buildings, and isolated in darkness, and I saw dozens of the white flashes I had been seeing, but instead of darting off like normal, they were swirling and bobbing in a cluster about 100 yards away in the grass. As I stood there, dumbstruck, they broke away, half to the left, half to the right and formed a circle around the building I was at. They were moving impossibly fast, and a sense of terror came over me. I ducked back inside and hid, I didn't know what to do. When I poked my head out about 20 minutes later, there was nothing but moonlight and cold air.

[@willowjac]

My God. I live at the base on Soda Bay side and I'm going to be looking. 😮

[@thesmuggler7]
