Instead of taking a photo, maybe get the hell out of there.

u/Armchair_QB3 Oct 05 '24

I suspect OP did in fact get the hell out of there, as it’s typically difficult to upload from underground

u/RiverStorm3218 Oct 05 '24

I did get the hell out, I saw this on the way out. And just took a quick video then dipped with haste.

I actually took a video of it, Reddit just didn’t let me upload it.

Natural spring?

Pro tip. You can use a lighter to determine if it is safe or not.

Yea sometimes I do that

I usually just use an Indiana Jones type torch and kill 2 birds with one stone. Lots of light and air quality testing!

I too enjoy displaced oxygen for breakfast.

u/Korgon213 Oct 05 '24

No smoking in there

u/BaconJakin Oct 06 '24

Can someone explain what I’m looking at? That’s gas like at a gas station, in an abandoned mine? Where’s it coming from?

3

u/akgrowin Oct 06 '24

Gas like the form of matter. Solid, liquid, gas. Seeing as how it's coming off of rotting wood it's probably carbon dioxide.

These could be “soda springs” natures mineral water, that you can drink.

I drank from one myself, in a town near Sequoia forest. As I drank from it, I imagined my “hearts”being restored, Zelda style.

Is that gas or water? I don't see any bubbles.

11

u/RiverStorm3218 Oct 05 '24

It’s gas, it was from decaying wood under the water trapped by mud, and when we walked on the rails, bubbles started coming from the mud on the floor. It wasn’t a steady stream of gas, it only would come out when we took a step.

u/joan_bdm Oct 05 '24

That makes sense!

11

u/Nervous_Piece_2564 Oct 05 '24

The picture is literally of some bubbles

8

u/joan_bdm Oct 05 '24

For me it looks like some sort of spring with water flowing. We'll have to wait and see OPs video.

6

u/Nervous_Piece_2564 Oct 05 '24

Theres gas bubbles coming through the water, from the fault in the floor 👍

9

u/woodbanger04 Oct 05 '24

Why are you blaming the floor? What if it wasn’t leaking before OP walked down there? Wouldn’t it then be the OPs fault? /s

5

u/Nervous_Piece_2564 Oct 05 '24

That floors let me down one too many times

u/Boring-Perspective61 Oct 07 '24

Bros danger meter wasn’t working

u/WindTough Oct 08 '24

Dis you try to light a match next to the bubbles? That’s the standard practice.
