I poo poo'd the idea of autism and rocking, but I am always open to being wrong. With the number of reports that involve mindspeak and our recent thread about autism, I thought this deserved its own post.

Thank you, I learned something new.

I've found that a lot of people just don't want to talk about a sighting or encounter. It scared them to the point they won't go back into the woods. I knew of a guy who was a mountain of a man. You think there's nothing he would be fearful of. He, and another person, had a sighting at night as it watched the two of them. It took a few years before he would even consider hiking much less sasquatching. Nowadays, the stigma that used to be attached to openly discussing it is gone. That's a good thing.

I've never been moved by the tree-structure aspect of sasquatching. Maybe I should but it seems that a determined person, or persons, could erect many of what we see offered as evidence.

SO did we.

Didn't you as a kid with your friends ? We sure did and some were pretty cool

Right, if you think all they are capable of is lean-to's and teepees you have missed their messages that are sometimes difficult to see (sometimes next to impossible). It will test your tracking and observational skills to the nth degree. If you are uber familiar with a section of real estate it can make it much easier. The manipulations that occur between dusk and dawn-- if you are close enough to investigate-- can be very eye opening. Sure I have engaged in fort building before the woodscraft and survival shelters were but a figment, grew up in the age of the early USAF survival manuals from the 50's. My adventures included ground excavations and tree forts mostly.

I did all the time as a kid. I had more forts than I could count. And some where teepee style around a tree like that.🤷‍♂️

or it could just be kids building forts

I tend to think they are calling cards, and sometimes they are calling certain preselected humans at predetermined locations that they (and us) frequent. I have had much experience with these structures at a local level too. There is no reason that they could not serve multiple purposes depending upon what is being crafted. I have seen perseverative patterning and geometry in narrowly confined mountainous drainages in the Blue Ridge.
