Cool track find! We were up there a few weeks ago, the park was packed so stealth camped at the end of the road in the refuge, don't tell anyone. Over here following day, which was packed also, at least 100 cars all down the road, last time there, had it to ourselves: Only sign of our quarry:

Last Saturday, I finally got out in the H3 to an area I hadn't visited in about 20 years. It involves a steep climb up one creek drainage, a traverse along a very rough ridgeline trail, and an even steeper descent down the next creek drainage to the north. Total distance is not much more than 10km (6.2mi), but it took from 11AM to 4Pm to drive that distance, with stops to check for tracks and scat. It was overcast and showery all day, with a smattering of snow along the 6,000 ft. ridge, but even the limited views were great, looking down on the Chilliwack River valley on one side of the ridge, and the Fraser Valley and the town of Chilliwack on the other side. A couple of washed out bear tracks were the the only signs of wildlife for the day.

Just got back from spending 2 weeks on the Maine Downeast coast. The coolest thing was on the rocks at the shore line. I think it was waiting for us to get there. It was about 7 ft. tall and quite a work of art like I've never seen. The only thing holding it together was gravity, two days later the wind kicked up to 40 mph! and blew "Poseidon" over: And then the wind toppled it over:

I decided to keep the Schnee Timberline and sent back the Schnee Divide Mid. The TL is a very comfortable boot that has a flexible sole, as mountain boots go. It's a 9" boot which is the biggest hurdle for me as I'm use to low trail runners. The foot box that is roomy and my heel feels locked in. I bought a medium and Schnee offers the boot in a wide as well. It should work well for traipsing through the forest and up and down mountains. The Schnee Divide Mid was also very comfortable. It is a 6" full-leather boot and it's height is perfect for me. I don't like locking in my ankles, which are very stable and strong, and I've never had an injury with low trail runners. I'll need to move up a half size which is why I returned the one I bought. Also, I'll wait for their next sale and buy then. The Company pays attention to little details. For example, the lace-up metal eyelets have a ball bearing inside over which the laces slide. That makes pulling them easy and smooth. I tried Zamberlan, Kenetrek, Hanwag, Scarpa, Lowa, Asolo, Salewa, and more. In the end, it's fit and prevails. I'd highly recommend Schnee boots.

I think I found my ugly Christmas sweater! https://www.gearliberty.com/products/bigfoot-ugly-sweatshirt-for-bigfoot-lovers-on-christmas-time-0095-t5vth0078?fbclid=IwAR20mXn17tK6uORM81CTuMFkQBfdyh50VUUs4Hu5pJ-QnocHpHviQ9Q78do

Hello 🤩 My name is Jesseu and I am from various parts 😁 mostly live in Texas for years. Traveled to Europe, USA, and South America. I am currently in Peru. I am continuing my ed and have attended University of Texas in San Antonio. I am an Army veteran of the USA. I am married and have one son. I love the sciences, arts, music, reading, writing, internet junkie and other. My interest in BF dates back to the early 70s when I read my first paperback book on the subject. I have since been very interested and intrigued. The recent work analysis using the latest technology has come a long way especially the work on the PG film. I look forward to contributing and learning more here in this forum. Thank you

Cobscook State Park with two trips through the Mooselook Wildlife Refuge. Coyote and Moose prints below:

Went scouting for elk yesterday and it was beautiful out. Only saw one other vehicle the entire day. Unfortunately, not a single sign of any BF activity. Fortunately, lots of elk activity. The last photo is of a cow elk at around 700 yards away.

Then you wouldn't need to tree knock to find a BF. Just head towards the laughing

I'd wear that !

Archery season 2020 1st leg - Selkirks Bear and Wolf tracks, heard Wolves in Harvey crick. Cut one set of fresh elk tracks on way out by Petit lake. :/ One weird 3 toed track too. Pics 1-10 2nd Leg - William O Douglas Wilderness/Cascades Pics 11-19 Only spent two days in there. Into bulls both days. Calling on ridge and something came in silent and spooked out. Made us jump. Had a hot bull at camp this morn at 5 am. But spike only area. Elk sign out of sight. Every step. Wyatts GF Holly came with us over weekend. She hiked with Wyatt for Saturday morn hunt. I also love, love, love my camper....

I went backpacking into Emigrant Wilderness over labor day weekend. I read an old report of a daylight BF sighting on the southern end of the Relief Reservoir and wanted to explore that area. Went in at Kennedy Meadows trail-head and climbed up to Upper Relief Valley. Distance was about 9.6 miles and climb about 3,600 ft. Took me 2 days to climb. Unfortunately, the Creek Fire (NE of Fresno) dumped ash and soot on the whole area on Saturday afternoon and I decided to bail out on Sunday (instead of Monday). At 5 pm on Saturday, I could not see the sun and it was a dark as night. But the worst part was that my mesh tent and everything inside was covered with black soot and I was breathing that bad air. I was disappointed with this trip because: 1) Both lower and upper relief valley had cattle grazing (Don't like cows in wilderness areas because they change the wilderness and make non-local sounds). At least the cows did not have bells, like they have in other wilderness areas that I have been to! 2) Kennedy Meadows during labor day weekend is a ghetto - too many people crowded together (though not many people were climbing 3,600 ft to see Upper Relief Valley) I heard a bear at midnight and at 2 am on Sunday, but my Tascam DR-05 died on Friday (day 1). It was probably far away from my location because the granite walls of that area carry sound very well. My FLIR only captured rabbits, squirrels, and cows. Below are some photos of that beautiful area. Probably best to visit on a non-holiday weekend. There were lots of horse back riding into that area via that trail. So I took a photo of a group of horseback riding on the 2nd bridge from KM.
