prolly my next gun

Could be a good candidate for contact. I read that article a while back but it was before I began my outreach and so had forgotten about it. Thanks for the refresher. She should be getting a nice email from me within the hour. I'll let you know how things go

Wonder if that rock that "slid" into the Thomas site excavation is still there. Didn't go up to look this year. I sincerely hope people don't vandalize the site. I'd have to check my notes, but about 15 years ago a large rock did slide into the excavation. The next summer it was out and on the northwest side of the hole as if it was just "flipped" out. There were no scratch marks on rocks in the hole. Also, it looks like some of the ridgeline stone work has changed. I don't know who goes up there, but whoever it is doesn't leave people trash. Once in a while we'll find some hunter discard, but that's about it. Pika photo ! They are up there and in talas south of the site. Love those little guys. They sure like to "talk." Those big bare rock piles are called "talas." There are many of them in the area. Look at Google Earth. There are also big talas near Signal Mountain to the north and Mt. Lowe to the south. Be careful on them. We have found at least four more clear excavations similar to the Thomas site. They must not be confused with rare Native American vision quest sites which are also up there. Be careful on the rocks. An accident can happen lightning fast, especially of the bare rocks are wet or icy and you don't notice. I have three pins, a connector joint and some removed small bones in my left foot to prove that. I was foolishly wearing Nike prowling around on one one day. Joe here

Great thread, 7.62. I spent 30 years behind retail gunstore counters. This is dear to my heart. When "in the field," a .45acp Colt 1911 stainless Commander, condition 1, on my hip. These days I find my "field" more likely to be suburban. Since I was intricately familiar with a 1911, I most often carry the 9mm Sig 938, a smaller 1911 clone. I also often opt for my S&W 638 .38 "humpback" snubbie. Edit to add, licensed concealed carrier, in my state. Enjoying onset of cooler weather, generally carry heavier caliber as conditions allow.

I made a day trip to a quiet valley on the S side of the Fraser River, between Chillwack and Hope, where I had seen lots of deer and bear sign on a visit earlier this summer. I found the steep creek valley almost as quiet this visit, only encountering 1 couple on a side by side ATV, but there were numerous logging slash piles burning, leaving a blue haze in the air, and sometimes bits of ash falling around me. Only 1 pile of bear scat was seen, and no tracks of anything else in evidence. I stopped and glassed several areas, with nothing of interest except for the smouldering brush piles. The logging companies do these burns after several weeks of fall rains, so there's no danger of the fires spreading, but it is annoying to see. Looking N towards the Fraser Valley East view. Fire haze from below, and a clear cut at top centre that I reached 3 yrs ago via a road that is now washed out. Looking S towards the US border, with an unburned slash pile at the bottom left, and several burning on the horizon.

It's beautiful and that first photo is greatl

I think sometimes it's just a taboo subject for some PhD's whether they think they will be discredited or even losing their jobs . I guess if they have tenure that wouldn't play a role but first and fore most they also have to be a believer ! , that's the key really in my humble opinion . My self I think one day if remains of body is discovered it won't be by a PhD . It will be some of the dedicated researchers who spend way, way more time out in the field than I do. Maybe even somebody here , who knows . The other chance is maybe a whistle blower , it happens right? look at Snowden Maybe there is a person working right now that feels the world should know this ..

All this back and fourth but the government would never confirm they have known about these animals . Man would the law suits fly for any family that has lost a loved one in a national park .

The good thing about that is at least it's not overly expensive but I agree since you already have firearms night vision or thermal should be the next thing to purchase . I went kind of cheap with mine and now I wish I had spent a little more to get something better . I bought a ATN OTS It's okay and the thermal works fine( got it on sale for $1600 but I wish I had spent another grand for something better now after using a friends thermal .

I made an afternoon trip out to the location of the sighting from 2007, reported to me by Mike, which I mentioned in my post of Sep.22, on the previous page. He had said that the creature seen by himself and a companion that day in Oct of 2007 had crossed in front of their vehicle in daylight just at the Km 4 marker on the Harrison East FSR. It was seen to cross the road from the forested downhill side, and proceeded uphill through a recent clearcut, then cross the Slollicum FSR above the cut, and disappear into the old second growth timber above that road, a distance of about 250m (280yds). The Slollicum FSR had been gated for the last 3 years, but I was fortunate to find that the gate was now removed, as logging operations further uphill had been completed. This allowed access to that road, but with the challenge of newly cut drainage channels every few hundred meters, as the road was now considered "decommissioned" until needed for logging in the future. My newly lifted Outlander, with larger tires installed earlier this week, could just barely crawl through the trenches, and I did manage to scuff both the front and rear bumper skins in doing so. Oh well, it's 18 months old now, and over 80,000km, so not a new car to cry over a few scratches any more. I got a few shots of the sighting location, and a few of the fall colours for fun. Looking down the now 12 year old clearcut to HarrisonE FSR from Slollicum Rd The second growth timber above Slollicum FSR Parked on Slollicum Fall colours higher up the Slollicum road

Thursday I went up and checked out the Glen Thomas Site and Tarzan Springs area. It was nice but really cold.

A Monkey wrench, If you research the the first nation accounts, There accounts are more along the lines of Forrest people, and many of FN accounts said they would regularly interact with them. That they were there to Protect the woods, as far as aliens... as far as I know There were no FN accounts of craft dropping them off. I find that end of the Spectrum, A little out there. If the government is now willing to to admit that we have something in skies that they are looking at. I think BF wouldn't be a big deal. But that's me. But our government is so ****** up, Now. You just never Know. The bigger security threat would be something traveling through our skies that we cant stop. And as far as what would happen to belief system. I think we are intelligent enough to understand that this world, is stranger than we think... I think the fear is on the governments side - Why they spend all this time lying to us... The problem is easliy solved - "Power" - How do you keep people in line - Fear and Need. Here, here I agree with u 190%. Oh I forgot to say, Hello, to all you great thinking People Here

Here's some photos I took of the Glen Thomas Site from Oct. 2015. I did not see any golden-mantled ground squirrels, (maybe they were hibernating), but I did see pikas and timber tigers.
