It was such a beautiful day I headed into the Gifford Pinchot NF up Panther creek and a short hike up Trapper Creek. I thought I would look for any tracks I could find. Did not see many tracks other than deer and small critters. I did see one deer munching in someones lawn near Carson Wa. I was as high as 4000 ft elevation no trace of snow anywhere. This winter here has been more like spring. Its been in the fifties up in the hills. I think the snow has been only falling on the volcanic peaks above 4000 ft. I took a few photos the first one is through the trees looking toward Soda Peaks where a friend and I herd a vocalization back in 1989. I found a bunch of trees on one road that were either snapped or uprooted. I tried to figure what caused the tree for about a mile and a half to be across the road. Could not have been wind because it was only localized to the road. No snow this year so that was out. The thing was some were downed from the uphill side and about as many from the downhill side, all crossing the road. Most had been cut off for so vehicles could pass through my guess is the forest service. The only thing I could think of was we did have a good soaking rain and maybe the trees just fell. Or maybe there was a Bigfoot ripping them down and saying stay out of here.

Airdale can speak for himself, but I don't believe he reached the solid conclusion you are tying to him. He does note many Park Ranger's do know of it's existence, but the Parks Service still deflects any acknowledgement of it. He also raisers the specter of all the allegations of covering up the existence of bigfoot. If those allegations are true then the reason the Parks Service is so uncooperative is wider in scope than simply being unwilling to confirm the existence of an unconfirmed creature. Although just the act of disavowing and not acknowledging evidence because it is unconfirmed is itself a cover up. You arbitrarily dismiss all these testimonies of intimidation and cover up on the premise, it seems, that you can't believe they would do that. And I find it difficult to believe also, as do many, which makes us all cautious in approaching this. But there are multiple claims of it, more than has been mentioned in this thread.

I think Airdale has made an excellent point. Perhaps it's not that the government is trying to cover up the existence of Bigfoot, on a grand scale, but rather they are unwilling to confirm the existence of Bigfoot and discourage any talk or comments from public officials, because it's not been proven to exist. Using an example from Airdale's post; if a forest ranger or rangers, observe Bigfoot in the area, would they be encouraged to speak openly about this sighting? The answer is no; they would have to keep quiet because they would be perceived or judged as being crazy. I'm a partner in a privately owned company and even though my partners and associates know that I have an interest in Bigfoot, they also know I would not discuss this interest in front of clients. Simply because there's a stigma that's associated with people that believe in Bigfoot. The government is the same as the company I work for. They don't want the stigma of being associated with this subject matter as it does not "officially" exist. This holds true for many other things, aside from BF, such as UFO's, ghosts, etc. I may not believe in ghosts but who am I to judge? Imagine how the world would look upon us if the FBI announced that it believed in the existence of ghosts, trolls and Chupacabras? I'm sure some special interest groups would think this was great but most people would instantly lose confidence in the FBI. Bigfoot, from the public's perspective is really no different. The bottom line is that government employees, agencies or officials cannot discuss topics such as Bigfoot without leaving themselves open to ridicule or scorn. They have to be seen as above board in all ways. Until BF is acknowledged by the government, he won't officially exist. I have no doubt that cops, rangers, soldiers and all sorts of government officials have seen these creatures. However, the agencies they work for will not officially acknowledge these sightings for the same reason I stated earlier Therefor, the government is not trying to cover up the existence of Bigfoot, they are just stating that he has not been proven to exist. All public servants will "officially" have to follow the same position. There's a significant difference, in my mind, between this and a cover up. Again, there's no logical reason, I'm aware of, for the government actively trying to stop us from proving the existence of Bigfoot. Otherwise our ability to hunt, hike and camp in national forests would be restricted. TV shows like finding Bigfoot, would not exist. This website would not exist. This is really a matter of official denial and not a policy of trying to keep us from knowing. After all, it really is a bit late for a cover up; don't you think? Whenever I hear "cover up" as a reason for why proof cannot be produced or made available, as it pertains to Bigfoot, I immediately question the claim or testimony.

At the end of post # 51, Crowlogic states 'the subject does not even get to the post office of real science........'. Does anyone have the zip code for the post office of real science? We will need that to send in cards, letters and boxes.
