Goat trail maybe..road, no. But they are bugging out.. so, one must consider that Texas Brine no longer feels safe on the pad, which had been full of equipment, vehicles and people.. all gone..

Speaking of flyovers and energy consumption issues – isn't it time someone engineered lower-tech means? A kite or balloon on tether that can take these shots? … just wonderin', just thinking', just askin'. …

I noticed the many trees appear to be dying. Can someone from this area state whether the trees are deciduous or if this appears to be a result from the gasses from contaminated sink hole? I know someone mentioned this in other threads, but I cannot find it.

@ Kelly, Those trees have been dying since early August, which would not be typical, even in Washington State.. but, especially in the warmer Gulf region.. I would expect the trees to just be turning.. and when you view the flyovers.. check out the other trees that are similar, but not dying… this has led me to believe they are indeed being poisened from below.
"The Gulf of Mexico is heating up due to a rise in magma flow convecting (running like a conveyor belt) under the Gulf floor. This is the Earth Expansion Theory, where the Earth heats up, filling the salt domes with tar (magma melting oil and creating tar), and pushing the ocean floor up. The tar bubbles as it heats up, and it outgases.
This expansion lifts the Gulf floor, which displaces the water and floods the coastal areas, and also causes movement along the bordering plate boundaries and fracture zones. Texas is now having more earthquakes everyday, including the 3.0 west of Waxahachie a few days ago along the Balcones. The Llano Uplift will respond, as well as the New Madrid.
This is the Earth Expansion Theory, with a flow of rising magma under the Gulf floor." A must see..

In addition to all the other crap… our Strategic oil reserves are in SALT DOMES!!!!

..add the idahopicker's compelation of flammable storage in the area.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL62fFs0JMQ&feature=player_embedded
He mapped the area, and has located many areas of concern… it is wikimap… and add to it all the other dots going on and wowzer!!!!

(I do not suggest to follow these ways of how to kill trees), but salt and water does work.

Interesting question, Kelly.
These are cyprus, likely bald cyprus. I don't believe cyprus are deciduous this far south, although farther north they are.
It's interesting to follow the changes in vegetation over the years with historical view on Google Earth.
Fly to: 30° 0.645' N 91° 8.599' W
The last GE image is Nov.2011, and the vegetation looks brown and thin, as you would expect of deciduous winter vegetation.
But the image before that is Dec30.2010, and that vegetation is green and lush, as is most of the prior images.
But the earliest image is Sep.1998 and that vegetation looks pretty bad, although the image is poor quality. So there could be some sort of natural cycle or climatic perturbation going on. (W/ a little imagination, that 1998 shot almost looks like a developing sinkhole here, which is not seen in later images.)
Also note in Sep.1998 that grass jeep track has a lot of water standing on it. Obviously, water pools in this area. With all of the recent rain this area has had I don't think one can tell from a fly over what is standing water and what is developing sinkhole. That dirt road is probably just saturated from Issac.
The local officials had a tiff with some residents claiming another sinkhole is developing in a region about 200 yards west, but that is almost certainly ponding surface water.
The GE visual history is fascinating.

Some trees are damaged by high winds (hurricane) such as the pine trees in NC after a few hurricanes in 1996. They got "wind burn". Storms, and water/salt can all impact growth. Looking at previous history footage, one would have to check on weather during the period to determine if drought, storms, winds or flooding has damaged the ecosystems there for each time period. The whole area is so boggy..and suffering from subsidence (SINKING), that water does pool. Time will tell pretty quickly if more sink holes open up..hard to hide them. The biggest issue of sink holes is who is going to pay for the damages. So far, in Lousianna — other areas and damages seem to have been ignored by those who are supposed to be protecting the citizens..federal government agencies (ie. EPA). I am sure there are a lot to point fingers at, but bottomline, individual citizens and their business/property should not be the bill payers for land industrial uses by companies..or the government. FULL financial re-embursment of any and all damages (health, property, business, and livelyhood)..without arguing or legalize..should be the law of the land there. Likely this is in the hundreds of homes and businesses and lives-but not enough to break any of the large company banks..or the federal budget either…Unless the collapse spreads to miles and miles..

The trees are bald cypress, used to a lot of moisture in the ground, making them ideal in swampy areas. It is much too soon in Louisiana for the cypress to start shedding their "leaves" (they're technically the only cone bearing deciduous conifer). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxodium_distichum
However, toxins in the ground water will attack them quickly with rapid deterioration, as they are quite sensitive in the roots. So yes, it is the sink hole surface toxins that is killing them.

Thank you for the responses. I have been watching the vegetation across the Gulf since the BP disaster, wondering how much damage the Corexit and VOCs have down to agriculture. It's hard to tell because there are so many variables.
The cypress trees remind me of the pines I saw along the German autobahn years ago. Many closest to the road had visible signs of decay from the pollution. I wasn't sure if the gas had been venting prior to the sink hole and may have served as an early warning canary in the coal mine. I wish the video had zoomed out so we could see the entire area.
Usually salt damage affects the tips of the leaves first, leaving tell tale signs of salt damage. The green becomes yellow and then the plant eventually succumbs. (At least this is my experience as a gardener and former garden professional. The trees in the flyover look like they are dying of something else. I don't think the trees would look that bad so quickly if it was from the standing water, but perhaps so if the water is filled with fracking/oil/nuclear waste.
I watched the Earth Expansion Theory video last year. Some days I think that the PTB went to Miss Cleo for advice and she told them of a cataclysmic event in our future that led them to believe that it is okay to place strategic reserves in salt domes and construct nuclear power plants on fault lines and flood plains because the world is going to end so why not make a quick buck before it all disappears.

we also had really hot conditions, weird winters etc.. could also be beetles of some sort, insects, fungus, and just plain old die off..

I'm sure all the chemicals in the sinkhole and surrounding water are contributing to the current poor health of vegetation also animals and humans.

Strange, when I first came onto this site, there was an ad for BP Oil using new technology for a cleaner tomorrow!!!

How big can this get? Looks like it is traveling.

I have read it is three miles across and one mile wide.. don't know how deep.. so I guess it could go that far.. that would be the entire Napolenville salt dome, is my understanding.
Now if it causes an explosion, I suspect the entire southern half of Louisiana could become involved.. like exploding dominos..
If it is earth movement from magma making cracks and fissures which are filling with gas and widening.. many more salt dome formations full of toxic crap will become involved.. there are already reports of giant pipes in the ground bending etc.. and it is swiss cheese, um swiss cheesium, I mean, down there.. all connected..
