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).
