Rockinkt-

Are you missing something - I don't know? Let's try the basis for the
speculations. We'll try the process of elimination.

Looking at the visual presentation, ...thanks Gerry.... there is no adequate way to block the staircase up to the catwalk that appears to surround the tower from any animal I can think of that has a mind to climb them......

I know of no bear or predator feline that would have a curiosity about the lock on the first-floor door. No bear or cougar is going to negotiate those stairs unless there is a food source there, they follow their noses. You can almost certainly rule them out.

A cougar might be following a game trail of mule deer that goes through the base of the lookout building, but if it was a cougar, I am certain you wouldn't hear it, they stalk with too much stealth. A bear might follow the game trail too, they are clumsy oafs, but I seriously doubt you would hear a bear moving around and if you did, the sniffs, snorts and grunts give its identity away. Same with a wolverine, they do make a racket and they vocalize their displeasure clearly.

If it was a sasquatch, the staircase is no problem. Given the height of some of those reported in that area, and assuming that basement door is about standard height of six and a half feet high, the sasquatch at shortest is probably 7 1/2 to 8 feet tall or better with an arm reach of three and a half to four feet up....if it were to stand on that concrete platform at the base of the building, the sasquatch would have no problem reaching up to the catwalk and hoisting himself up if that were its inclination.

There is no reason to be afraid of them, they aren't going to terrorize the building because you're there, they probably watched it being built anyway and it just another curious intrusion into their domain.

You might borrow or pick up some night vision gear at the local war surplus store just for the berries of it, at least you can see what they look like first hand without disturbing them. In this day and age, I can't imagine anyone being in the woods without some level of nite vision anyway.........military surplus is affordable and it makes sense.

Thanks for an interesting Story Glen, I will add it to the next issue of the bigfoot newsletter online....

From Lookoutman-

That being said, there are only a limited amount of things that can tamper with
a padlock on a door that is on a raised concrete walk. In connection with this
alone happening, the following day prints or tracks were looked for in the
immediate area of the Tower. My wife's prints were in the area, as well our son's.
My print was also present. The deer that visited, their tracks were there. But what
hung around during that one night, for almost two hours, there was nothing. It
(or they) seemed to stick to the rocky surfaces mostly. That would take some
thought on their part.

That same night, the beer bottle that I had mentioned in the report was moved
aside. It was picked up, and placed between two rocks. In the same period, what
made that upwards jump of approximately four feet - when it came down, there
was a solid plant of footing, not a staggered shuffling of a number of feet or
hooves. The creature was heavy - heavy enough to cause a slight vibration that
we felt. This ruled out a man in this instance, as it would have taken three or
four of them to perform the jump. I don't think you or I could make that happen.

In the same period of time, something was outside moving rock. They also
moved around the Tower numerous times. But then came the 'whistle.' This was
just after something cleared it's throat or what I called a gargle of sorts. This
was enough as well, to eliminate the possibility of it being a number of creatures
in the forest. That whistle came on a delay of movement.

To make sure it wasn't the human animal, we checked the entire area as I said,
the next morning. There were no prints on the road, and nothing found. You would
think, that in two hours something would leave a track. We left shoe prints just
taking supplies to the stairway from our vehicle. If it was a moose, bear, cat, or
a number of other wilderness creatures, there would have been a possible print.
As for your ghost, goblin, space alien, and wicked witch - we all know the
Investigator who'll gladly endorse such things - I have no interest in that
direction, the paranormal end of it. (There was no anal probe found anywhere in
the vicinity.)

Unless there is a special breed of new animal in the forest, that is why the
Sasquatch is being speculated upon. Even the smell, and the scream of Friday
evening, houses the possibility. And out of curiosity in researching the area
after our visit, there was possible activity in the past, something that can be
pondered as well.

That's all I have...

As with most things with the Sasquatch, things are divided on all fronts. I've
got nothing else to add to this. But if you do, you're more than welcome to
highlight the pages with your expertise and ideology.

Here I go, not speaking for LOM7 again...BUT...I don't believe that he is a wildlife biologist. Like he said in the beginning...he went out for some R&R, and experienced some weird stuff. This is a Bigfoot forum, not Discovery Channel. He had obviously had some inclination to believe that it may be one or more Sasquatches. I can appreciate that you, Rockin, are taking a comprehensive approach to saying that it could have easily been another type of animal or whatever. But, I can also see how most people that are familiar with Sasquatch would be led to believe that the possibility was, in fact, a Bigfoot. Call me stupid, and with all due respect, if the overall experience was exactly how LOM7 described, and I was in his shoes at the time, I wouldn't be thinking Wolverines or Pack Rats.
