Национальный парк "Загадочная Мясная Яма"
Здравствуй, любопытный странник.
Сегодня я расскажу тебе об интересном природном образовании в штате Техас, известном как национальный парк "Загадочная Мясная Яма".
Супер организм региона Пермского бассейна, куда более широко известный под именем "Мясная Яма" в простонародье - загадочное и интересное природное явление, обнаруженное в Техасе в 1970 году Джеймсом Джексоном во время геологических исследований по поиску нефти.
Последовавшие за открытием исследования выявили невероятное множество уникальных образований и фактов о "Мясной Яме", и по сей день этот организм является самым мало изученным натуральным образованием в Америке. Ранние исследователи использовали модифицированный водолазный колокол для погружения в недра организма, а более поздние экспедиции смогли использовать достижения современной науки чтобы искусственно расширить входное отверстие и создать в нем исследовательскую базу для изучения феномена.
Основным спонсором исследовательские усилия являлась корпорация Anodyne.
Благодаря усилиям ученных в недрах супер организма были обнаружены уникальные животные, приспособившиеся к условиям жизни под землей внутри его тела. До того, как люди начали осваивать различные мембраны, сосуды и трахеи, проводя в них свет и прокладывая инфраструктуру внутри царила полная темнота, потому абсолютное большинство обитателей, паразитирующих на гиганте слепа.
Пожалуй, самое известное животное, обитающее внутри - Глубинный Веслоногий Рачек, заимевший дурную славу среди исследователей и персонала парка. Эти ракообразные являются одними из крупнейших известных существ найденных в организме, а так же представляют опасность для посетителей парка и местных жителей.
Еще одна широко известная форма жизни, адаптировавшаяся к жизни внутри супер организма - Аморфное Позорище. Такое едкое и презрительное название ученные дали далеким потомкам общего предшественника Длиннохвостой Ласки. ДНК анализ подтверждает близкое родство между двумя животными, не смотря на то, что гротескное нагромождение органов едва ли похоже на своего современного "брата". Однажды проникнув внутрь организма, Ласки медленно адаптировались к жизни внутри складок плоти, где питательные вещества доступны очень легко, а зубы,шерсть и когти только мешают передвижению. За долгие тысячелетия эволюции эти животные удлинили свое тело, после чего потеряли уже ненужные зрение, слух, мускулатуру и скелетную структуру. Современное Позорище обитает в нишах плоти, питаясь соками организма через тонкие кожаные мембраны используя процесс, похожий на осмос. Избавившись от всех лишних органов это существо настолько уменьшило свои потребности по калориям, что стало одним из очень успешных обитателей Мясной Ямы и в данный момент играет ключевую роль в экосистеме.
Высокий научный и коммерческий интерес к уникальному парку помог Мясной Яме стать одним из самых горячих туристических направлений в США. После проведения беспрецедентной и очень смелой совместной советско-американской экспедиции в парке открылся роскошный отель, проработавший до 2007 года, однако об этом - в следующих постах.

These choking fits usually occur following extensive engineering improvements within the Pit. when directly viewing a Spasm Fit. Explore the Mystery Flesh Pit A Word on Safety For obvious reasons, The Mystery Flesh Pit is unlike any other park within the National Park System. It is an incomprehensibly vast and ancient organism whose origin and purpose is unknown to modern science, and a thing which inspires a deep and primal and instinctual gut fear in the hearts of all men who gaze into it. Although the safety infrastructure installed within the pit are marvels of man’s engineering aptitude, an attitude of extreme caution, vigilance and respect are expected of all park visitors. To ensure that your tour of the Mystery Flesh Pit is comfortable, enjoyable, and safe, please follow these important rules and recommendations. •Wear closed-toe, non-skid boots for walking on natural flesh trails, which can be steep and slippery. • Use handrails where available. • Drink plenty of water; the Pit is known to leech moisture from humans. • Pregnant women are not advised to explore the Mystery Flesh Pit, as smoking is permitted within all trails. • Stay on marked trails. Beyond the trails are steep and slippery drop-offs where you could fall and injure yourself, and you could get lost and become digested within un-reinforced organs. • Encounters with Macrobacteria and Abyssal Copepods have been lethal for visitors who have strayed far from marked trails. In an emergency, several blue illuminated telephones installed along trail routes will connect you with the Lower Visitor Center Emergency Response Command C A * O Lower Visitor Center 1578 feet (481m) below pit entrance Choose from a variety of guided and unguided tours depending on your time, interest, constitution and physical ability. Your first stop for any Pit tour is the Lower Visitor Center, where park rangers can answer your questions about the Flesh Pit. and where you may rent specialized gear and equipment. Park rangers may also provide details about special activities and tell you about special ranger-led excursions. Bowels of the Earth Route The basic tour through the Mystery Flesh Pit is the “Bowels of the Earth" Route, a 7.85-mile, self-guiding stroll through many large and famous features, like the Thors Ribcage, Septum Falls, Gods Mistake, and Oysters Shame. Highly unusual and immense, th« Rowels of the Earth Route is a must-see tour for all visitors to the park. Gondola rides from the surface take you directly into the reinforced Lower Visitor Center. Relatively level, well-lit, completely enclosed trails make this the ideal tour for visitors with walking difficulties or those with small children. Guts n Giddy up Route The Guts n Giddyup Route is a self-guiding tour available to visitors with limited spelunking and/or diving experience and in good physical condition. This 4.75-mile tour follows the original explorers route, entering the sand gullet from the base of the Lower Visitor Center. This route descends over 750 feet into the pit. following slippery and narrow flesh tunnels through a large dorsal organ called the Trunk. The route circles back to the Lower Visitor Center near the un-oaclocpd ro&trooms on level -4. Highlights along this route include a dessicated Copepod nest, a prehistoric Whale Carcass, the somber Circus Clown Chymus, and Fondue Village, a complex maze of wax-like secretions resembling dwelling-sized bone marrow. Swallowed Whole Tour The 2-hour, ranger-guided Swallowed Whole Tour goes through several scenic and undeveloped organ sections. Departing from the Lower Visitor Center, the tour descends to the deepest portions of the mapped Pit anatomy. Although not as difficult as the Guts ‘n Giddyup Route, this one-mile tour does require park visitors to descend-and later climb-an eight-story-high actively peristaltic esophogial passage. Reservations are recommended: contact the p< •rk or visit the park website. A separate fee for endoscopic spelunking equipment is charged for this tour. NO. JE: This tour is not recoi amended to those who suffer, from claustrophobia or a fear of Losing eaten alive. Rangers are available throughout the marked trails to help you with information, first aid. and coping mechanisms. All primary facilities within the Mystery Flesh Pit are hermetically enclosed, air conditioned and structually reinforced. Temperatures within unenclosed areas of the pit are nominally 98.6°F year round, with humidity ranging from 80% to full saturation. Other Park Activities Visitor Center The visitor center has information about the Mystery Flesh Pits history, biology and theology. Publications, models, a schedule of activities and exhibits are available. Rangers can help you plan your visit. A kennel, a first aid station and a non-denomenational chapel are available at the visitor center main building. Caver Coop™ IMAX™ Theater Experience In this 45 minute immersive and educational film, children and fearful visitors will laugh at the animated hijinks of Caver Coop as he learns about the Mystery Flesh Pit and faces his fears of being eaten alive and getting lost in the dark. Shows occur every hour within the parks state of the art, 200-seat IMAX theater. Amniotic Thermal Springs Located on the ground floor of the visitor center by the vending machines are the Amniotic Baths. Amniotic secretions are pumped from glands deep within the pit for visitors who are unable to descend into the pit. These springs are known to have a range of positive effects on human psychology, physiology and wellbeing, and are enjoyed both medicinally and recreationally. NOTE: As the visitor center is a family-friendly facility, the surface spring baths are diluted to a 1 to 20 potency ratio with filtered water. For higher concentrations within adult-only baths, park guests are encouraged to visit the Pleasure Domes located east of the Lower Visitor Center Complex within the Mystery Flesh Pit. Historic Ritual Grounds Archeological research of the ground above the Mystery Flesh Pit uncovered the remains of an ancient ritual site believed to have been utilized by indiginous cultures to perhaps communicate with the Mystery Flesh Pit. Sadly, much of these ruins were destroyed by construction activity when the park was first discovered and what little remains of the site offers no clues pertaining to the pit or activities which transpired there. Today, the Ritual Grounds have a picnic area with tables, grills, drinking water and restrooms. Trunk Passage Lodging & Dining Options The Mystery Flesh Pit National Park is fortunate to host a range of corporate partners who add exceptional value to any park visit.
