    O.K. you guys I kind of half/assed figured out how to post the picture of the Bigfoot footprint . Although it is above my title of this thread ! LOL! I'm so intelligent . Not. Anyway if you scroll upwards here, then scroll your screen and make the picture go left you will see the footprint my son and his girlfriend found a month ago hiking in the same spt my son and I did this weekend. Anyway, that is a legitimate photograph, has not been tampered with . The footprint is 14 inches long by 6 to 7 inches wide , from what my son told me.

    So my son and my trip went great this last weekend. We did not see any new footprints or hear any vocalizations , however when we turned a corner way up above the river , hundreds of feet below us , we both distinctly heard someone pounding rocks together down near the river . There was not any other humans where we went on this steep remote hike into the canyon. One day we bushwacked up a remote untrailed canyon and did not see anything except remains of an old miner who had camped a little up this untrailed stream and canyon. Old boot, hose, clothes weird stuff. That canyon was cold at nightso son and I decided to camp further down the next night to the main river canyon where his girlfriend and him had seen the footprint near their camp in a marshy , bushy area.

    So we hiked down to the spot , and my son noticed something interesting. He was pretty sure nobody had been there in 3 weeks to the campsite because all the firewood he left was still there. But he noticed that a 30 foot long by foot and a half to two foot round downed big limb from a tree had been moved 4 to 5 feet alongside the trail. You could see where this tree had been embedded in the ground , probably 6 inches deep, it was not on the trail, but to the north of it 6 feet . But something big and strong had to be able to lift this huge tree limb and move it 4 to 5 feet. It was way too big for a human to move. And the tall grassy, bushy area where my son had seen this footprint, had all been smashed down like something had laid there or broken through the bushes, something big. So that's pretty much all we saw. Caught some nice trout, one being 16 inches and about 3 lbs., so that was tasty. I have read in Bigfoot experiences related that they pound rocks to communicate with each other, or warn off humans. Maybe that is what we heard when we were high on the mountain going into this remote canyon. Who knows ?

    But, next May we are going to the original spot up in that area where my son heard one of these beasts screaming at him . It is a little easier hike, on a flattened ridge on top of a mountain area. So we can camp at a nearby lake a mile away. But, we will just haveto let winter come and go, and we shall see what happens. So goes the continuing story of Mr. Flipper and son's pursuit of Bigfoot. Hope you liked the picture. I hope it posts, or I'll have more mud on my face than I already do. Peace to you all, all comments are welcome. I enjoy your thoughts, even the funny ones

    If you upload it to a place like Flickr or Photobucket.com, get the URL to the picture and put the following code in your post

    This has been your HTML lesson of the day.

    I just figured it out from someone else who posted the instructions. Thank you whoever you are. Use Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla to access the internet. Under your name on the upper left, click on "Files" and from there the instructions are easy to follow. When you post on this thread, then click on the little paperclip you can see in the little symbols across the top, click on the square next to the picture to select it, then upload it and it will come up in your message. The only thing I had to figure out is that you mostly need to select the size 500X500 to have it work, for some reason.

    Where in CA is this Mr Flipper?

    Loosie, I don't want to reveal the exact location so a-hole hunters don't catch wind of it and threaten this animals space, but I can say it is in Northern California in the Northern Sierra mountains , but south of the Cascade mountains where Mt. Lassen is located. So south of that. That's as precise as I will get , I'm sure you understand . Thanks, Mr. Flipper

    Well Mr Flipper, it sounds fancinating. I used to live in So Ca. so I was just wondering if it was in my old back yard. But it's not.

    On your next camping trop might I suggest an infra red, motion sensing, digital camera. They can ba attached to a tree adn when they sense motion they go off. My husband just got one from Sams club for about $120. It would be worth the investment if you caught something on film.
