I went to the Mt. Adams area in Washington (Gifford Pinchot National Forest) during first week of August to explore a couple of wilderness areas and the GPNF. The first area I visited was the Mt. Adams Wilderness. I took the Short Horn trail out of Morrison Campground (~4,700 ft) up to Round-the-Mountain trail (~6,100 ft). Main reason I visited this location was to explore the panic attack location that a BFF member posted a few years back (see link below with his story). Unfortunately, the area has gone thru 3 forest fires since 2011 and looks completely different than when the original poster had his panic attack in 2003. Below are some of the pictures I took around the GPS coordinates that he provided. There was nothing particular or unusual about that location. http://bigfootforums.com/topic/49276-panic-attack-in-the-woods-is-not-evidence-of-bf-presence/?do=findComment&comment=869860 The second area I visited was the Indian Heaven Wilderness which is well known for bigfoot encounters. I went up the Cultus Creek trail #108, joined the PCT and then looped back via Cultus Creek trail #33. The PCT trail elevation was about 5,100 ft while Cultus TH started at ~4,000 ft. This area was beautiful but full of mosquitos (due probably to the large number of lakes). I ran into 2 PCT hikers and they both complained about the mosquitos. These two young men started on the border with Mexico and were starting the crossing of WA State. I asked them if they ran into any wildlife that scared them, and they said that they had not seen any bears. One said he crossed Oregon in 16 days and was planning to cross WA in 20 days. Below are a couple of pictures of the lakes plus a view of Mt. Adams looking NE of my position. I took a panoramic photo to illustrate the expansiveness of that forest. I did not see or hear any evidence of BF during my 5 days stay in the area (but I still need to go thru my night-time audio recordings).

Took a trip up to the Northern Oregon Coast area recently and then went down to the area east of Mono Lake off of hwy 120 east. There's a really nice campground in the area called Nehalem Falls Campground right along the river, This is a very lush part of Oregon and spent a lot of time on this river as a young kid and is one of my favorites. The forest in this area is very thick to hike in and would be hard to have a sighting unless you are on the river and happen to see one foraging for food in the water. I then went to a dry climate east of Mono Lake taking route Hwy 120 east. To me this is one of the nicest drives in all of California, totally untouched, very pristine environment. I believe there is a healthy population of Bigfoot's in this area due to the food sources and places to remain hidden. Would be hard to find tracks due to the sandy conditions though. The river photo is 12 miles in off of Foss Rd on the Nehalem River. The other photo is of Boundary Peak which is the highest peak in Nevada and sits at the northern end of the White Mountains. Photo of cave is in the Eastern Sierras in my Bigfoot Research area which is my preferred area to hike in finding tracks and having encounters and sightings of Bigfoot. 7-13-18_121.MTS

Nice pics Explorer, beautiful country. I love the mountains which are sorely lacking in MN. BCW for some reason I agreed to let my 8yo daughter to be in charge of photography for the weekend. She thinks she’s the next Ansel Adams...
