Two weeks elk archery hunting no luck but still a great time. Skamania County WA, right in the heart of BF country. Squirrels made some great knocks with those big fir cones. My partner ran into a big black bear that was chowing down on huckleberries. He left the area because all he was carrying was a bow. Took his revolver with him after that. I followed a cougar this morning that was tracking a deer last night. Hope he got it so he wasn't looking for something else for dinner.

The tuna can is 4" of flame on. Takes a couple pours to compensate for shrinkage during cooling. Essential items: everyone should have a signal mirror and whistle, on a lanyard, hanging around neck. The whistle is an 'Acme Thunderer 660', made for young lungs, old lungs. ( no jokes about acme dynamite kits please, meep meep). You will sound like a World Cup Ref throwing a flag. The red and silver background is the classic all weather blanket, original space brand blanket. This one is 5' X 7'. Israeli bandage is 'Israeli tourniquet'?. I forgot a tin of Bag Balm, the universal cure.

norseman Wishin' ya the best with the neck surgery, hopefully it also gets rid of the vertigo.

I can't speak for anyone else. I've had the sighting ... x2, decades apart. So ... I can only hypothesize. Considering the body of evidence, I think yes, I could be convinced by that alone. The problem is, as I see it, dismissing ALL evidence requires such an incredible Rube Goldberg mix of excuses .. or sheer ignorance .. that as a logical person with a science background, the existence of an unknown hominid is by far the simplest answer. In short, Occam's Razor, applied to the evidence, says they're clearly and unequivocally real as the simplest and most logical explanation. The only doubt I have about that conclusion is whether I'd have taken time to truly adequately examine the evidence without those two sightings to keep my curiosity engaged. If I did not, I might come to the same ignorant conclusion as the scoftic cadre. MIB
