There seems to be a cottage industry of Blog or story tellers that take sighting reports and others experiences and then in most cases embellish them to make them more interesting. I had the opportunity to investigate one such report which was in for form of a internet radio blog report since I live in the area. If the area was BF active I certainly was interested in the site. It apparently never occurs to some story tellers that someone may be able to investigate, put boots on the ground in the area, and evaluate the report based on the facts presented. From the description I was able to go to the exact location of the encounter. It was encouraging at first when the road and side road mentioned matched the story, but soon the story began to fall apart. The terrain sloped the opposite direction than was described.. The location was confused in the mind of the story teller and if some parts were believed, then the road mentioned was 8 miles from the geographical mountain that was also mentioned. Of course when the encounter was in the early hours of the morning, the witnesses had to explain how they got such a good view of the several menacing BF in the dark. A nearly full moon was mentioned. Not only was the moon not near full on the stated date but it had set several hours before the stated encounter time. Oops! Those who defended the story tellers suggested that city lights from the distant greater Vancouver Washington are might have lighted up the area. However the location was in a deep river canyon making it unlikely that sky glow from the distant city would make much difference. Making up a story is full of traps in this day of internet access to astronomical and weather data. While I have no direct evidence, it was almost like they drove around, found the location, and created a story to fit it. What two men were doing parked out on a side road in the middle off the night off a forest service road is also strange to say the least, and was not addressed in the encounter report. There is probably more of a story to that than what happened. I guess that what I am saying is that if you hear a slick radio voice sounding like they are reading a script you might be suspicious.

What a waste! Watching the federal government work is like watching two wolverines fight in a gunny sack.
