And now let's get on with the show. All right, Bigfoot Society, you've got the privilege of talking to an individual today. we got connected. His name is Randy. He's the individual that took the Silver Star Mountain Bigfoot photos in Gifford Pinchot National Forest on November 17, 2005. So it's a privilege to talk to him about his experience with that and to finally get his side of the story out there in his word. So Randy, welcome to the show. How are you doing today, sir? Great. Thank you for having me on. Absolutely. You know, I feel like.

we've got a lot of ground to cover. I would love it if first, if you wouldn't mind taking us back to that day, what you had to do to get to that point where you took these photos that probably most Bigfoot enthusiasts have seen at one point in the other and just feel free to tell your story from your side of things, please. Okay. Well, it happened on November 17th, 2005. I decided I was going to go up to hike Silver Star Mountain.

A friend of mine was going to go with me, but he had to cancel. And so I knew I'd hit snow, and I'm always prepared when I go out, so I had all my gear that I needed to go up. So you drive up, I came out of battleground up to Copper Creek area, and was taking the Ed's Trail. And when I got to the parking lot, it was lightly snow there. There wasn't that much. The road to get up there now is almost last time it was really almost impossible to get up.

And then I parked and got ready to go up and I'm going. And then the snow started getting deeper, you know, from like three or four inches to a foot. and then they get higher and higher. So I'm heading up Ed's Trail, which is on the east side of the Silver Star Ridge. And I'm hiking along, and there's this arch there. It's a rock arch, and you walk through that, and the snow is getting pretty deep.

And at certain points, like the cartoons where you're walking along, I mean, a snowball starts and it gets bigger and bigger while it goes down. That was happening. And so I got to this one little, it's like a small in cave or like cave, but it's not huge or anything. So I sat in there and decided whether I should keep going up Ed's Trail or not because it was getting really snow. And I didn't want to slide down because it's almost cliff that part area. and so I decided to turn around and I went back through the arch

and then I started zigzagging climbing the ridge up and it took a while it's usually about a two hour hike to get up there well by the time I got there's like four hours so I'm still zigzagging along and I go up I get on the top of the ridge and I'm walking along this area

that has Indian pits and stuff and you can see all over the place there's a beautiful beautiful beautiful day I could see all the mountains and stuff. So then I walk and I get to, I always go into the area of the Silver Star Mountain is like a saddle. It has the north peak is higher and the south peak is lower. So there's a little saddle there.

So I came up into the middle of the saddle and I started hitting up north to the higher elevation peak. where there used to be a lookout tower. And so I must have walked 20 to 40 feet or yards. It wasn't that far. And all of a sudden, I got this eerie, like, my whole body electrified. It was just like, ah. And I didn't know what, I thought, I didn't know what it was or anything, but I thought maybe a cougar or something.

because or bear, but I didn't know if it not, but I just, I'm not scared to be out there, but that was the first time I ever had that experience. And so I kind of waited for a little bit, like two or three minutes, and then I started heading farther up. And it was a real windy day. I mean, real windy. The winds were coming from the east, just blowing like crazy. And so I get it to the top, and I always look up, look at the,

mountains. I was looking at Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, and came around to Mount Hood. And as soon as I looked at Mount Hood, I saw this black object. It looked like a big black rock down there on the southern peak of Silver Star. And so I go, whoa. And I got, I put my backpack down, took out my camera, and I stayed myself because of the winds and everything. And it's a strip on my left. It was a straight down. drop there just it just really dropped and and now I'm at I'm at 4,300 feet up. That's how high the highest peak is. And so I take the camera out and I snap the picture and then it stood up like a whoa. And so then I took another picture and then I took turned and took a picture of the Columbia River

and then I took the other picture. It walked down the hill after that. Now, I didn't know what it was at the time because it was just weird that to see something like that, you know. And I'm standing in snow. I've been in the snow all day, and I'm up to my knees in snow, and I'm pretty cold. So I kind of didn't know what that was,

I just glad I got a picture of after all this time, and I wish I would have went down and explored it more. But I didn't have the time. I had to walk back to my car. And so I got my stuff gathered up, and I headed back down. And that's pretty much what happened. That is absolutely fascinating. From what you could see in your viewpoint, how tall would you estimate what you saw was? I don't know. It was big. It was big and black. But I know that later Cliff Barachman went down there with me, or went up there with me, and he estimated between six and eight feet tall.

But being it, it was on the other side of the little ridge there, and I'm standing in snow, and I'm up to my knees in snow. It could be taller. It could have been tall. It could have been. smaller because you don't know what's on the other side. Was it kind of in a rock or was it baked down like I was because it's for sure really a heavy animal? Absolutely. I'm sure that you've looked at these photos hundreds of times over the years. I know I would. I would look at them every day. Are there any details that you've noticed about looking at these photos that you always go back to that you're like, wow, okay, yeah, it definitely was a big foot. Just look at this one thing in the photo. The thing is I look at it that they're blown up now,

and I could tell you a story about that whole thing there. But I notice there's tracks in the blowup. I at that time didn't even think about going down and looking down there. I just decided I had to get out, back out, because I didn't want to get stuck up there because of the snow and everything. but what happened was when this I guess I could keep going on that

what happened was is that on Thanksgiving I was going to my son's house and I started showing everybody the pictures of the that I took for that day and so I'm going through

and showing the pictures and then those pictures came up and somebody goes wow what is that I go, I took those pictures last week, because it was on Thanksgiving. And my son's a computer whiz, and so he got on there and started blowing him up. And then they go, because you can see the arms down to knees and stuff, and it's hunched over and stuff. And somebody goes, that looks like a big foot.

And I go, are you kidding me? So then I got on the... I called the paper, the Columbia paper, and I called the news channels around the Portland area. And only one person was interesting and it was channel two news. But then when we were going to do the interview, they decided that it wasn't that important at the time. And there was some sort of dog thing going on in Hillsboro, in Hillsboro. And so that ever happened. But so then I also got on the Internet and started looking around and I saw the BFRO,

Bigfoot Research Organization. And I text or emailed them and I said, hey, I have some pictures that you might be interested in. And this guy text me or email me back. and his name is John Challenger, I mean, Calender, John Callender, and he says, can I come down and look at those pictures? And I go, sure, come on down. And so we set up a date. He came down like the next day or two days later. I can't remember which day that was.

And he looked at it, and he goes, wow, those are awesome pictures. And so then he did a story of me, which you can see on the BFR. page if you look up Scamania County Bigfoot of that year. Another thing about that, after I got done, I also looked at on, when I found the BFR, I looked on that webpage, and there was a father and son in that area in the 1970 or 71 that they were hiking up there and there was this big black thing chucking rocks at them. So I thought that was kind of strange. It kind of makes my pictures even better because there's other people.

And over the years, I've noticed people right that they'd been up there and they've been hearing the sound of the Bigfoot, you know, the howling. And so basically that's it on that. Sorry. No, that's, that is really cool, especially that they were able to get someone there. that quickly. I mean, if you look at the site, I believe it was November 25th that John was there with you, which is just over a week after this happened. Very, very interesting stuff. Have you ever had any other like professional analysis or anything done to the photos? No, I haven't. I know that the BFR did some stuff on it. And one person compared to

it to the Patty film pictures, you know, the film, because of the cone head and things like that. And the other one person was Daniel Perez that does the Bigfoot Times. He contacted me, he wanted me to take them up there. I took them up there. And the other, the next person was Cliff Brockman. And he's the one that got me into doing the finding big. foot TV show. Yeah, I would consider both of them a friend of the show. When you took, so you took Daniel up there and you also took Cliff up there at different

times, correct? Different times. And there was another time I took Cliff, Matt Pruitt, Tyler Bounds, and I think there was another person, I'm not sure. And we went up there around the same time. And when we were coming back down, it was at nighttime. And the blood moon was out, and that was pretty cool. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Well, that must have been just beautiful looking. Did anything happen out of the ordinary on any of those trips when you took those individuals up? No, the only thing that happened different was when Daniel Perez and I was up there, we happened to be up on the top talking and this couple came up and they were teachers from Portland. And we asked them, or Daniel asked them, why are you up here? And they were explaining that they wanted to go hiking and they saw the picture of the Bigfoot. my picture and Daniel goes, well, this guy, here's the guy that took it, and so they wanted to take a picture of me and ask questions and stuff. So that was kind of interesting. And then when we were hiking back down, and I've never seen this before, but there was, we were in some snow at the time, Daniel and I were up there. And there was these ants that were, and the snow's like a foot to a yard deep in this one area. But they were ants on top. of snow making holes, you know, they're coming from the ground up to get the sun.

I've never seen anything like that. That was pretty weird. I don't know if that's what you're asking about. But otherwise, I hadn't seen anything as a Bigfoot thing going on up there at that time. That's pretty weird. I've never heard of snow ants before. That's really, really interesting. So I'm going to think about.

Have you gone up there by yourself? since that time? I hike by myself all the time. Matter of fact, I just posted it on Facebook that this year is the 20 years since I did it. The last, okay,

one of the last times I went, I went 10 years after the pictures I took and I went out there by myself and literally I took a video of it and some pictures and it was like a monsoon brainstorm. It was so terrible.

And this time I posted that it's 20 years since I took the pictures and I want to know if anybody wants to go up and we could start planning to go up there. And so far, I only got one person that is thinking about it. But I also need to know what if I take people up there, they have to be able to hike in the conditions. they're not your regular. I'm trying to do the same trail I did last time, and it's not for the light harder. It's a long hike to get up there. So just throwing it out there.

There you go. It definitely sounds like it is not for the beginner, multiple hours to get where you were going. You need to be ready. I mean, it sounded like you had drop-offs right, right to the side of you as you were up there. You've got to not be a beginner outdoorsman or hiker if you're going to even consider this. Right. I mean, it's a great hike in the spring and, I mean, the summertime through fall.

It's beautiful. I mean, the flowers are out there in the springtime summer. It's beautiful. You can see for miles up there all the way at the Mount Ruff. Rainier, all the way down, you can see the sisters. You can see to the coast. You can see Saddle Mountain in Oregon. It's literally a beautiful place to go.

Is this the main experience you feel that you've had with Sasquatch over the years? Well, my very first time was when I was a kid in the 70, 1970, and we were heading to my grandma's house, but we stopped off at a little town couch, Kashmir. It's between Wenatchie and Leavenworth, and it was in the morning, and everybody's still sleeping. I had told my, asked my brother, hey, Russ, you wanted to go out and walk around the woods? And he said, yeah, let's go. So we went up, and we were up on top of this mountain, this ridge. And over there on the east side, the trees are pine trees mostly and you can see farther it's not as dense as it is here except so we're sorry that's wide open but we were on this one ridge and all of a sudden we looked over to this

other ridge and we seen this thing huge big brown thing weighing back and forth and stuff and we i asked my brother what do you think that is what is that and he goes i don't know he goes it's not a bear say, hey, let's go check it out. So we had to go down into the, to this can't, through this canyon and came back up. And by the time you got up there, it was gone, of course.

And, um, and the reason I figure now, the reason it was going back and forth, walking back and doing, like, I think it smelled us or something, or whatever. So, but when we got up there, it reeks so bad.

It was, I never smelled something that, bad in my life. And so then we got to my grandma's house where we're going in Elk City, Idaho. And first thing out of her mouth was, when we told her about the story, first thing out of her mouth was, you saw a Sasquatch. And then she started to tell us all these stories of the loggers and miners in Idaho in that area that they were, and road construction people of the Sasquatch all the stories

that she told us it was an amazing thing but after that I hadn't really I did find an article on in the Seattle Times back in the 70s about it but after that I hadn't really thought about it

and then there was then I had had encounters after the Silver Star incident and I'm still having encounters that are amazing. That's just amazing.

I found a footprint the other day. Well, a couple. And they went out into the swamp. I took a picture of that. But I'm seeing this stuff. I'm hearing tree knocking, which I never would have thought of this stuff until I started hanging out with the other people

that know these stuff. Like in Portland, once a month, this guy called I'm having a very hard Guy Edwards was doing this thing called

hopsquatch and every month in Portland they'd have hopsquatch there and people from the show of Finding Bigford were there sometimes you never know

who would be different and Bob Gimley was there. The guy that did the Chia costume, he was there. There was so many people, Bobo, Renee, all those people were there. It was really fun. So the more I learned about this bigfoot, I learned more stuff that, hey, I'm out in the woods. That might be a big foot or it might not.

you just don't know, different sounds that goes on. How long ago was that happening? Which one? The hopsquatch. Is that a current day event? No, okay, it's been gone. I'm going to guess 20 years to stop. They used to have it once a month, and it was so many.

Some people still have pictures. There's, like I have a picture that was there, and you can see some of the people that you knew in there. It was great. Was that the Lucky Labrador or something like that, a pizza sandwich place, beer? It was really great. So are you saying it's the, was it the individual that made the Chewbacca costume or the individual that wore it? I'm just curious.

The guy that made it. And he was there to talk about the Patterson film and saying that there's no way that, that, that there's no way that, could be fake because they didn't have the technology in the 67 when that when Bob Kimley and the Patterson guy took the pictures, the video, and he said there's no way and stuff. And it was, it was a really good discussion. I can't, I don't want to butcher what he said because it's been so long. That's, that's extremely interesting.

If you talk to Cliff or talk to Guy Edwards, he might have some video that I'm not Sure. Now, you'd mention that you are current day experiencing things when you go out and finding tracks and things like that? Yeah. I've had encounters. There's one encounter that I had that an area called Indian Heaven. I was up there by myself.

I was going to go camping. I had me camp, okay? So I got my stuff ready and I was hiking up to It's called Indian Horse Track In Indian Heaven And I was going up there and I was almost two I actually got to the lake where I was going to camp But I met these two guys I knew that are hammie campers

And they were heading back where I had just come from the parking lot And I had already walked probably two, three miles in I asked them what they were doing. They goes, well, we're going to go to these lakes. And I go, hey, I've never been there. And I've been all, hiked all that area before. I just, this is one of the areas I hadn't been. So I said, hey, do you mind me going with you?

And they said, sure, come on back. So we ended up going back. And then it was getting a little bit later. So they go, we're going to go back down to the parking lot and make dinner. And then we'll head up there. I said, okay. So we have dinner. We make dinner and everything, and it's getting later.

It's probably around. And this isn't, this is in the fall time. So it's probably around 4 o'clock or 4.30. And then they did those two guys decided that they weren't going to go. And I said, well, how do I get up there? Because I want to go up there in the area. So they told me how to get there. They said the trail's probably really overgrown and stuff like that.

But it falls at the creek that it will go up. to the first lake and there's a bunch of lakes up there and so I hike up there and there's trees flown over and so the trail kind of you kind of lose the trail then you gain the trail and you keep going and it's getting darker and darker and so I get up I set it I get in this place I think it's a good place to set up I'm tired by this time I've hiked probably two miles in or three miles and I and I set up my hammake I eat some fix up dinner and stuff and I said okay it's time to you know go sleep so I'm laying my hamming and I'm just about ready to those off and all of a sudden smack something hit this tree

and it's like 20 to 40 yards away and then all of a sudden it went like I said it went smack and the sound like it went hey bleak bleep blee blah everybody like that one bleak me like that one bleak me bleak blah And this went on for about a minute, a minute, a minute and 30 or half or whatever. And I just got tired of it. And I just wasn't used to it or something like that. And I took out my gun and shot it up in the air and it shut up. So then I got up the next morning and I go and I'm only like 100 yards or so from the first tape. So I kind of explore that area.

And then when I got home, I looked up that area because I like the research where I went and stuff. Same thing I did with the Silver Star thing. Well, on this one here, I found out in, they used to have these guys that clean the trails, their rangers. And they were up in that area where the lakes are at. And they had an incident up there where they had an incident up there where they They had their pack horses or mules, and they noticed their horses started getting little skittish. They got a little skittish. And then one of the guys looked over and he saw this big black thing.

It wasn't a bear. And they said it, I came her exact what they said, but it was a big black thing. It was scaring their horses and stuff and all that. And you can look it up on the Internet if I tell you where it's at. But these lakes were all named for the wives of the rangers that were out there working the trails and cleaning the trails. So that was really interesting, and that was a pretty fun incident that I had. I'll tell you, so the one this, I was down in the gorge, that's the gorgeous between, on the Columbia River between Washington, Oregon. And I was on the Washington side.

And I'm in an area I call Wizard Falls. I won't say the name of the place because now I heard it's all closed off for an environmental thing. But I was hiking up in that area and zigzagging up these clueless of stuff to get up. And all of a sudden I found two left foot footprints. I could, the right foot every time it would land in the solid rock. So these things were, and I got pictures of this of the footprints. and these things were about 17 inches to 18 inches long the footprints. So I took that and then I kept zigzagging.

I kept going up about 45 minutes later. I was way up at the top of this area and I'm walking along. And like I said, I'm at the top so there's no cliffs or anything like that. and I'm walking along and about 20 feet from me a big rock the size of a microwave drops right by me

I stop I look around and I go okay I know that whatever they are at first I thought okay at first I thought

did this thing drop out of the tree but if the trees aren't windy or anything like that and that was just kind of a weird thing but that's the first thing that in my mind would just drop over a tree

and I looked around and stuff I couldn't see that I couldn't hear nothing but I think that basically whatever it was

was warning me that you get out of that area you know it's the same with the silver star thing that

that when my body got electric electrified I found out later that Bigfoot will send out like a bat

signal you know sign a high pitch something that's telling you to get out of their area. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. What if you could get more from what you already do? When you're a Shell Fuel Rewards member, you can.

Like I said, just learning all this stuff. back in the day. So that's one of the things that happened to me. And I remember this other time I was up at a cave by eight caves on not St. Ellen's. And I used to hike with these guys that were, we did night hikes. And we were doing the Oli Cave, which a lot of the, only the locals really know about this cave at that time.

And so we're. We're getting back to the car. It's about three in the morning. And the guy, we're getting up to his car, and he clicks his, for his alarm on his key thing. And they went, beep, beep, like that. And all of a sudden this ungodly screech yelled out. And it ran away from us. The ground shook.

And it was pounding and busting branches and trees getting away from us. and we both the two the three of us go what what was that I don't know but that really shook the ground

I don't know what that was but it was big and yeah that was and so I think it was like a month or three later that I heard on some TV show

about Bigfoot it made that screeching sound or something and that's what I figured that was a big foot. Now again, I don't know because of course it's just something to happen and it's the weird thing that these things happen to me and I'm in fine footprint I'm trying. The first time I heard tree knocking was

I was camping at Frog Lake down in south part of Mount Hood at about 430 morning I'm out hiking around and all of a sudden I hear the tree knocking. I get a log and I hit the tree, just kind of like see what would happen. And then it answered me back, and this went back and forth a little bit of time. And then it just stopped talking.

I might not hit the tree that many times or not. But, okay, I probably shouldn't know. Randy, this is some incredible thing. and some really incredible places that you hear about, some of which, I mean, people that go out by themselves, I'm thinking of like Indian heaven, there's a lot of missing persons cases out there. But has there ever been a time when you've been out, you know, doing some hiking or exploring and something has happened? you've been like, you know, this is a little bit too much for me. I'd rather not be here, but I've got to deal with this. I was hiking in the gorge on the Oregon side, and I was doing night hike by myself.

I did a lot of those during around New Year's and stuff. I like to come in a New Year's. And I was out there on this trail. I wish I could remember which trail was. I had to think about it. But all of a sudden, I hear somebody behind. or down the trail coming up the trail, and I just dove off the trail,

and I thought that was weird, but I did ever see anybody. It was just the noisy walking up through the trail. I thought that was weird. And did I, I did turn around and go back at that time, because that was kind of spooky to me. So were you able to hear the steps go by you, and there was nothing there visually?

Yeah, it was, you can feel it. Oh, that's, I just remembered. Okay, so I was up in the, up on this one place that I parked, and it's up called Lookout Mountain. It's above Large Mountain in the area of Silver Star. And I plan on hiking around the mountain all the way around. It's called Lookout Mountain. There's a lookout up there.

There's actually a radial tower up there now. And so I parked my car, got myself ready, and I'm hiking down. And then I knew I was going all the way around the mountain. Never did this before. The trail disappears. I'm going down this cliff and stuff. And I ended up somehow, and I never been in this area. And somehow when I was climbing down the cliff or walking and scooting down,

down the cliff, I hit a hornet's nest or beehive or something like that and they started attacking me. So I actually literally jumped and leaped and bound and got down out of that area. And so later, probably about another half hour, 45 minutes, I'm down in this canyon and there's no trail. Like I said, I'm just, I kind of got a homing device in my mind of I know where I'm at or whatever. for some reason. Because I don't carry a compass. I don't carry GPS. There's some or nothing like that.

So then I'm walking down in this one area and way down, I just crossed this creek. And right next to me, probably about probably five yards to 10 yards away from me. Some come through the trees, big heavy. weight. I could feel it. And I'm going to still say this because I don't know because I didn't see it, but I heard it. I was thinking there was elk and they didn't know I was there or whatever it was, didn't know I was there. And it was like three or four of them went right by me up, but they, like I said, it was like five to ten yards away. And they just went right up the hill past me.

And I thought, well, that, that was just weird. And so, And then eventually I got up and finally found the road on the other side, the main road, and hiked my car. And that probably was about, I'm going to say seven or eight miles I walk. I call it bushwhacking, okay? Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the, I've done that.

Well, this is back. I mean, I used to do a lot of East Coast hiking. in, well, it was like a high school, so 90s. But yeah, you do some bushwhacking. You got to definitely have your skills and tools with you, just in case you never know. There was another time I was walking out. We lived in Squam, Washington for a little bit,

and I took a hike out. I still can't remember that name of that huge gigantic forest park that they got there. But I'm walking along. and something catches my eye and I took pitch I got my phone out and took pictures of it and that was weird because that I took pictures of it and then right after that I saw this leaf that looked like a face that was on there and I go what the heck is that and Sasquatches tell you but this thing looked like this thing was a Sasquatch I saw and I showed it to what is his

name. I'm going to say Todd something. He does he lives up in Agnew, Washington, which is by Squin. And he does Bigfoot stuff. Strange Daisy does.

And, um, oh, was that, uh, Tob. His, he showed, he showed, Tob, it's Tob, that's right. Yep. Not Tobin.

And I just met him last two years ago at, uh, the Bigfoot convention here. Longview. Mm-hmm. And I showed him the pictures, and he showed that to his wife. And they, she goes, that's the same thing I saw in the same area.

And we both call it. She called the green man, because it looks like a big green mossy big flick thing. And I just took two pictures. You can see the face. You can see the pecs and everything like that. But it ran off. I got two pictures. of that. And then later, about a week later, I was up on the Dungeon Nest River in the Squim area.

And I found a friend of mine that I forgot his name, but we went up there and looking for stuff. And we found Bigfoot coming out of the Dungeons'est River. And there's this big rock and it smashed the rock. I got pictures of that too. coming out of the river and went up the hill. And this thing went right up the hill. And I couldn't even climb. It was just almost 80 degree, 80 degrees embankment, you know, straight up. It was crazy.

That's extremely interesting. I mean, those sound like photos that would be incredible to see. I don't know if those are any that you feel comfortable sharing with myself or listeners. I'll let you think about that for a while. The whole Olympic Peninsula, you talk to people over by forks, and there's always sightings that are occurring over there.

The whole rainforest, extremely, extremely wild stuff. You've had more than a few sightings. And so you've probably thought about that for a while, about what you saw. Do you have any thoughts about what you think Bigfoot is exactly. I believe he's a creature.

I mean, it walks like a man, but not like a man. The way his legs move and the feet, the way his feet at the ground. It's almost like a gorilla, but it's not a gorilla. It's not, I, it's not, I don't know if it's interdimensional.

heard that before. I don't know. It's just, they know the woods. They're out there. And the big thing is people go, well, why we haven't found any body or anything? And I go, well, have you ever been in the woods? There's thousands of elk in this area right there. I live in now. And you might find a couple bones or whatever, but you don't find a lot of them. And there's thousands of elk here. If you ever been out in the woods, found of porcupine bones? Probably not. The nature takes care of itself.

So, you know, they start, the body starts deteriorating fast, and you got all these ants, you've got rats, mice, possums, raccoons, you name it, we got it,

they're going to make that body disappear. and leaves and branches and falling down. Natural decompose decomposition. You know what I'm saying. Oh, no, absolutely. I mean, that is the best way to give an answer to that question.

That's a question you do get a lot. But, you know, Randy, has been a really enjoyable conversation with you. Before we do start to end out, I just want to make sure, were there any other things that you wanted to make sure that you had shared in this interview. I'll also say one thing about the Silver Star thing. If I would have known now, because the whole thing was, people said, well, why didn't you zoom in on it?

Why didn't you do this? Why didn't you do that? Well, my camera was very small. It wasn't a professional camera. I'm lucky you had a camera at the time. They go, why didn't you go over and look at it for a footprint? And I already said that. It was cold.

I was getting cold. I needed to get back to my car. and there's so many things that happen and I'm not afraid to talk about it because a lot of people are afraid about talking about this stuff that happens because I feel things happen to me all the time like this

being out in the woods and I'm out the woods most of the time whenever I can be so I just want people when they go out to enjoy yourself but leave it as you had found it. Don't trash it. Okay, that's all. I think that's great advice.
