Another day trip today, back to the area we concentrated on early last year, to see if there had been any changes to access, or to the ongoing powerline project in the region. It rained all day, giving a surface that would show fresh tracks easily on the normally hard road, but all we found were tracks from a large coyote, no deer, bear, or Sasquatch. We did stop to shoot 3 videos with Thomas, for his ongoing website. These should be posted in the next few days on http://www.thomassteenburg.com along with some more written material from his files. We did hike in to the lake that my son and I had walked the shores of last summer, but the rains had filled it so high that there was no open shore area to scout for tracks at all. The only excitement of the day was being splashed with muddy water by some idiot in his "Off Road Special" F150 tearing up the trail toward us at stupid speed, then having him come up from behind 40 minutes later on his way out, and do the same. I thought we might wind up scraping him and his truck off a rockface, or the bottom of the creek gorge, further on, but no luck there, dammit.
