[quote:Anonymous Coward 33773224:MV8xNzM3MDUxXzY2MjQ4ODUxX0NDOTZDMDFB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 58961560:MV8xNzM3MDUxXzYyNzU1NzM5X0Y0QzNFQzVF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 7683330:MV8xNzM3MDUxXzE4RDc5REY0] I got a special wilderness permit to go into an area in the mountains in CA where they hadn't allowed foot traffic in, in twenty years. There were no trails. It was myself and two other Marines and we did it in exchange for seeing if there was a rare kind of trout in the streams up there. I guess the forest service didn't have anyone who wanted to do it. I'm not sure I was set up with this by a friend. Anyway we hiked for two days with no trails using just a map and compass and on the second day we walked around this huge cliff to find a full on cabin with a lawn and solar power and washer and dryer the whole nine yards all built into the rock face of the cliff. You couldn't see it from above so it had gone unoticed for years. We talked to the guy that lived there and he said we were the first people he had seen hike in, in 14 years. He was a retired helicopter pilot and he had flown all the equipment in by helo. He was squatting on federal land and knew it but didn't seem worried. He said he hikes out every two weeks for supplies by a different route then we came in and he showed it to us. We used that route to get back as he had a trail beaten down so the walking was easier. All in all it was pretty cool. The trout the forest service was looking for were in the creeks so it is still closed to foot travel and we never told the forest service about the old helicopter pilot so I would bet he is still out there. [/quote] It was a long time ago, and it was the scariest night I've had in the woods. Up in Maine on Great East Lake, at a friends cabin. We had driven ourselves to a party that night about 10 miles outside the small town, really in the sticks. It was pitch black excpet our headlights. The road to the main road was only narrow enough for 1 car, cut through the forest. We were heading there, drinking beers, when I had to piss. My bud stopped the car, I got out and went to the back of the car to pee. I was mid stream when i sensed something there. I heard a "snap" and loud thud and heard a terrible scream like a wolf but deeper. I slipped on a twig and fell, and looking up, saw a 9 foot animal approach the front of the car! It smelled like swamp and piss, and my buddy beeped the horn for a long time. The thing hit the car, growled and ran off. I got up, realize i had shit myself, and my buddy was gripping the wheel staring straight ahead mumbling..no fucking way...no fucking way...over and over...we got to the party and told no one. Never go to the woods [/quote] What you saw was a "Dogman". Look up "Dogman Encounters" on youtube for many eye witness interviews. [/quote]
