I place rock piles in with tree breaks. Until somebody documents a sasquatch doing the activity they are pretty much meaningless. I have a case involving a hunter who stumbled across a large hole dug out of the rock. The rocks were claimed to have been stacked on top of each other and being much larger than anything a human could lift. But as for little piles of rocks I would say human.

Sorry Bobby Orangeboom, I was unaware that documented proof exists of a sasquatch stacking or piling rocks. Please direct me to the documentation. I assume photos and possibly video are available for scrutiny.

Thank's

Have to totally agree with you Crims!

The ones I found this last weekend were in the middle of a creek on a flat rock, there were two of them next to each other. The first was a round rock surrounded by small round rocks, and right next to it was a pile of about 6 or 7 flat pancake-like stones piled straight up. No way could it be chance or an animal, either human or bf.

There are no pics or video. John Green documented the case as did numerous others such as Dahinden, but it was all based on human observation. So it is only anecdotal evidence. Someone claimed to see them digging up and stacking the rocks and eating rodents, presumed to be pikas. I lied though, there is a picture of John Green's son standing in one of the holes and I think there is another picture of just the holes. IMHO I could see a Sasquatch possibly doing this but until there is actual evidence, who knows.

The most basic cairns are often a single stack of rocks intended to mark a path, a territory, or a specific site. The intent is utility and meaning, rather than art. Those who place them are thinking of those who will come after. Those who find and follow them are trusting travelers who went before. Many experienced hikers fondly call them "trail ducks" when the top rock is larger and points the way at a turn. In Hawai'i such a cairn is referred to as an ahu.

Acadia National Park has an extensive system of cairns and rules about their construction.

Simple cairns and similar assemblages have recently been adopted by the Deep Ecology movement. Stacked or balanced, these offer places and moments for reflection at spiritual-environmental retreats such as Earth Sanctuary center on Whidbey Island, Washington. Visitors to the lush grounds will find the paths punctuated with what its founder describes as "balanced stones designed to stand for a long time without falling," as well as contemporary megaliths and stone circles. A recent guest installation, however, entitled "Sticks and Stones", emphasized the reciprocal trend of impermanence and complex flux.

Yeah... my thoughts exactly... rock piles may be used for some sort of "trap"...

Rodent sets up housekeeping... has a bunch of yummy babies...

Un-stack... munch... burp... re-stack...

Rinse and repeat...

Vilnoori, if the rock piles you found were not created by "chance or an animal, either human or bf" then how did they get there??

... hearing weird tuneless child-like singing sounds coming from downstream... odd tree and branch breaks... some very large and fresh footprints in the mud. About size 17.

In certain areas of the country, a rockpile in the woods could have a simple explaination. The area could have been cleared of trees and rocks removed for the ground to be used for farming, say, over a hundred years ago or more. The settlers consolidated the rocks in piles aside from the farming plots. Once that area was abandoned for farming, the forest reclaimed it and it became overgrown. No longer showing any evidence of it once being farmland, other than the rock piles in the woods.

... But I will state that 99.99% of rock piles found are the result of human actions....

Well somewhere in this thread someone thinks logic is only owned by one person per thread, that being said, I say that rock piles are markers
that something or someone moved them there. Any takers?

Nice numbers... I quite certain you have the evidence to back it up... please post... in 5000 words or less would be nice...

The Glen Thomas Sighting
http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/...-with-a-shovel/

I have spent only one day out in the brush in Oregon as compared to months in California and British Columbia, but I rate that day as the most productive I have ever spent. The man who made it possible refuses to let his name be made public (note: the man was later publicly identified as Glen Thomas), but he did put his story on tape, as follows:

"I was supposed to be watching a catskinner as he was fire trailing, but it was awful cold, and I walked a mile or so down the trail, because he had no need of anyone at that time, and I thought I’d warm up and see the country. Up where he was, it was a cold east wind blowing; a little further down it was a west wind coming in. It was late fall, the last weekend in deer season I think, in 1967.

"It was a mountain trail - they have several of them up there - footpaths, and for horses. The elevation was about between four and five thousand feet. I came out lower down, into the fog, before I saw anything, and the fog was freezing on the trees because it was so cold, but if the wind would blow, the fog would break, and fall off. That made it kind of noisy, it sounded like walking.

"I came around a bend - well, first I noticed some rocks that were turned over. All the other rocks were wet, because of the fog, but these rocks were dry. Then I looked up, about forty or fifty feet, up on a ridge of rock, and I saw these animals there - looked like human or just about. Large male; the female wasn’t so large; and a small baby - well, not really small. It was moving with them. It was standing up, mostly. The two older ones were squatting down and sort of bending, as they picked up rocks and smelled them. They were kind of careful. They moved on for a few minutes, and then finally the male found possibly what he was looking for and dug real fast down into the rocks, which were large boulders - not the round-type of rocks, but the flat, sharp kind.

"I could not explain why these rocks were there; there hadn’t been a slide or anything. They were on top of the ridge, so they wouldn’t have come down from anywhere. They are loose, quite a few holes underneath them, and they are as if they had been broken up - definitely not the round river-type rock. But they (the animals) would pick them up, and, after they smelled them, they would lay them down, on top of each other. They didn’t just lay them back where they had picked them up, they stacked them up, in piles. And when the male found what he was looking for, he really made the rocks fly. The big rocks weighed 50, 60, or even possible 100 pounds; he just jerked them out with his hand. He didn’t seem to take any precautions for his safety. Later on I looked, and there was some rock there that could have fallen on him, but he wasn’t concerned.

"He brought out what appeared to be a grass nest. Possibly some stored hay that small rodents had stored there. He dug through that, and brought out the rodents. It seems they ate them. The rodents appeared to be in hibernation, or asleep, or something. There were about 6 or 8 rodents. The small animal, I noticed, only got one, but the others got 2 or 3 apiece.

"But about that time they became aware of my presence. And well, just became alert. I was along side of this trail that follows the ridge. I didn’t remember getting there, but I was squatting down beside a small tree when I became aware of where I was. As soon as they realized I was there, they suddenly began to move. Real quiet, behind some low-hanging limbs on a tree there. I didn’t see them again after that.

"I tried to follow their tracks in the direction I thought they would have to go, but I couldn’t find any, although there was frost there. But the next day I found 2 tracks, I heel print, and the front part of the foot, the toes, but they were in a different direction - the direction from which I had come - and I never did get to connect them up with exactly which direction they had gone or know anything about them.

...Don't get mad or get your feelings hurt...

Here is a good report of BFs moving large boulders leaving definate rock structures.
BF rocks!

i haven't read any of the responses in this thread, cause i was in a hurry, but i can tell you this about rock formations. they go way back wh

contd......sorry, hit the wrong button, but i'm from washington state and the rock formations here are to guide people on the trails of hikes and lookouts and people have been dong these according to my father, for a very long time. i can't believe some people are shocked and mystified by them when they them, i guess it depends on where you're from? jmo
