The stories of rock apes and other similar wild men type entities are interesting, but hard to find. This document is extremely helpful, and provides some great information for those seeking to research these topics further. Thanks for posting a copy here.
It's quite something to be out away from civilization knowing that you're on you own...literally. When something odd like this occurs, you know it and feel it. There is the excitement that maybe discovery is 10' inside the treeline. There is also the nagging thought that maybe I'm being lured into the shadows where nothing good happens.
It's one thing to summon the troops to enter. It's another thing altogether to go in there alone. Kudos.
