Tony, I'm not going to actually do anything myself with this information. But UCSB professor Jim Boles is interested and sent this email asking questions. He said I could post. He also said I could give you his email address, but I prefer to not post email addresses; you can find it online if you want to contact him directly. I suspect Jim has not gone online and looked at your posts or links.

"Chris; interesting observations. is there a GPS location for this?
could be a pipeline leak, or maybe one of those spontaneous combustion
sites nearby? Are there nearby oil field activities? jim"

(Brian, I can email you his email address if you don't want to look for it, but quicker to look for it).

Here's a google maps URL centered on Towsley Canyon.

After looking at the pictures it reminds me very much of Silverado Canyon. Same type of flora.

And then I remembered something. Since it's been so dry the Silverado Creek has been dry for some months. But I recently noticed water in parts of the creek. I just chalked it up to runoff from fighting the brush fire back in September. However, it's been a month and half and the water is still there.

Probably zero connection.
