No pic or video will move the ball. We have half a century of proof of that with the PG film. It must be a carcass, it must be delivered to the most powerful sasquatch advocate on Earth (whoever that might be), and it must be delivered with the stealth and planning of a special ops military operation.

My cousin that used to go with me moved to Ohio so I don"t have anyone to go with. I am not comfortable going out in the area without someone else a lot of it has no cell service. So if someone is interested that is on the site let me know. Thanks I have a 4x4 you can send me a msg

It seems a bit crowded for full time occupancy but it certainly seems big enough for a short stay passing through. It's about 1/3 of a mile to what seems to be a power line cut. Fairly heavy timber. For comparison, I've followed up on a couple of reports along the Columbia River waterfront in Portland, OR where BFs were reported in some steep, brushy draws. Less than a block offstreet but in a position where the car lights would go 20 feet over their heads. Not ideal but if they're going to get past the city without a 50-75 mile walk, there's not a lot of choice. From what I see, what you've showed is considerably better turf for them to pass through. Why? Following up on a report?

On Sunday afternoon, I drove out to the quietest mountain valley in the region, and explored all the old logging roads, right out to the headwaters of the big creek. In 5 hours out there I saw 1 dirt biker near the start, and 2 4x4s parked at the very end of the valley, probably hikers heading up into the alpine. I spotted several grouse, some bear scat, and some nice big deer tracks, but nothing Squatchy. I took 2 hikes along some very overgrown old roads, but the swarms of mosquitoes kept the time out of the truck short. On the east side of the valley, I couldn't reach the end of a couple of the roads due to snow banks blocking progress, but the west side road was clear all the way to the huge bluff that boxes the south end. The views from the high points were worth the drive.

This past weekend was the warmest we've had here in the Fraser Valley so far this year. On Saturday, I hosed down the H3 and took it to a 4x4 show and shine. Of the 200+ trucks, there were 2 H3s and 1 H1 representing the Hummer brand. There were about $10,000 worth of raffle prizes, and a $2200 50/50 draw, and I didn't win a thing!

No the camera had a 30 second delay and all the images are time stamped. They were all posted. Why would the deer hunter collecting deer photos even be asking friends and family for a week what it was before it was suggested he ask the BFRO if they seen anything like it. They told him it was a juvenile Sasquatch.

And......? It's still a bear...

Thank you!

You'd do well here, norseman, they're widening the freeway through the Fraser Valley, probably another couple of years before it's done. My youngest boy, Rick, is a heavy equipment operator, and just got on the project, working at a pit and materials screening site just 8 km (5 mi) from my home. He preps the loads during the day, and the trucks haul them out at night to avoid too much traffic disruption. I don't see many belly dumps or side dumps here, though. All the fill and gravel is moved by truck and transfer, or truck and pup. The valley is crawling with them!

Awesome indeed! I appreciate your sharing that! The rapidity of the sequence of "steps" themselves and the intervals between each sequence... remind me very much of the sound of.... the sequence/intervals of a full-galloping horse - the absence of the 'percussive' timbre associated with hooves, claws, nails or other hard objects that would be striking the surface of that bridge, IMO, eliminates any familiar quaduped that has such....(which you point out). I would think the closest I could imagine would be a creature with pads like a cat or with tissue/flesh of knuckles or 'fingertips' and foot pads or 'toes' like we humans have - (not unreasonable to imagine that 'hair' would also be a factor in softening the sound some). A large 'cat' of some sort? I think not, unless, maybe, it was a cheetah...because, if I'm not mistaken,...most, if not all, cats don't gallop "like a horse"...with the exception, of maybe a cheetah at times. Gorillas and Chimpanzees can 'lumber' along at a sort of gallop,...but I don't believe they can do so for extended periods and I doubt that it would be at the same speed as what we hear on this recording. Without any definite idea of distance between the microphone and the area of activity,...(especially when/where the 'breathing' is first heard)...it's hard to imagine just how large the runner is/was....but I'm thinking that because we hear its rapid breathing (while galloping) a few moments before it apparently jumps/lands on the bridge in stride and records the simultaneous continuous breathing pattern and the 'softened' or almost 'muffled' sound of the galloping, as it passes by ; I have to imagine that the runner had to be large/powerful enough to project the sound of its rapid breaths prior to its approach to the bridge - (without any prior, apparent sound of galloping, I might add)...AND the pattern of rapid breaths can be heard for several seconds after it apparently leaves the bridge...almost seems as though it may have paused at some point after passing the bridge area...because it seems like the sound of breathing is faintly detected....or I'm imagining things...tell me if you think I am. The deeper tones of its 'breathes' causes me to think of a large chest cavity - similar to that of a bear or horse. I have a fair number of early to recent newspaper accounts from N. American regions that describe strange, hairy, wild creatures that "resemble a man" or "resemble a gorilla" (after the mid to late 1800's)...that evade pursuit by dropping to "all fours" to outrun dogs and/or humans on horseback.....(interestingly,...quite a few accounts of these same 'creatures' being predacious - against dogs and horses, as well as any other domestic animals - easy pickings) Thanks, again!!

I think it’s important to note and we’ll worth listening to Dr Meldrum’s gut instinct as he is studying the photos. http://vimeo.com/6367515

Grizzlies and polar bears probably aren't appropriate comparisons. Both have distinct physical characteristics that are notably different than black bears, particularly the shoulders, neck, and head. The pose os appropriate in some of those pics, though. It's a common pose for the haunches.

The dead giveaway that it's a bear, is that there are very likely other photos either taken before or after that confirm what this is. But you will never see them...I wonder why

Of course.....everything on the internet is true, how could I have forgotten that.....
