Hey cymry101, I thought that you once were in the Canadian Forces...shooting at stuff you do not see is NOT COOL. Regardless of the situation.
What was he objective of this nature walk again? What exactly was achieved? Was it worth it? Would you do it again?
I was a survival instructor in the CF, at one time, amongst other specialities, and believe me, I would not have planned something of that type of "nature walk" without the proper planning, the proper logistics and back ups.
My views, glad you and your fellow treckers made it back alive.

Thought you had to pass a safety course to obtain a P.A.L. these days?

Hi Gerry,
Indeed I am, I'm the leader of the Yukon group, part of the Western Canadian Sasquatch Research Organization (WCSRO).
We now have representatives and researchers in BC, Alta, Sask, NWT and Yukon.

Hey Steve! Sounds like a fun trip - very much looking forward to the photos. I was disappointed that i didn't hear back from you on account i really would have enjoyed the trip! I'm curious what road to take by Stave Lake? If/When you get a chance, could you share the directions? I'm keen to check that area out - especially if it runs into the valley that connects the top west of Harrison to the top east of Pitt Lakes! Glad you and the crew made it home safely!! Chrissie

I came across these stories from an article by Douglas DuHamel;
Sasquatch/Bigfoot Sightings at Pitt Lake
There were several reports in the 1850s of Sasquatch sightings at the mouth of Debeck Creek which runs into the north end of Pitt Lake. In 1933, two men saw a Bigfoot at the North end of Pitt Lake grazing on berries. Most Sasquatch sightings are near creeks that run into Pitt Lake.
In 1965, two loggers saw Bigfoot tracks and realized they were being watched and managed to make sketches of him before he ran off. Bigfoot harassed loggers in the 1960s at Frenchman’s Bay at the north end of Pitt Lake.
At the Wild Duck Inn at Port Coquitlam British Columbia in 1970, nine loggers reported their logging equipment was found turned over. In 1972, loggers again at the Wild Duck Inn talked about having their cook house pounded with large boulders.
In 2001, on a logging road in the Boise Valley leading to Pitt Lake, a man and his wife and two dogs heard a weird noise coming from the opposite side of the road. This noise sounded like two large rocks being hit together. The strange thing was that the sound repeated itself every five to 10 seconds for at least a 10-minute time period. During this time, the dogs had put their tails between their legs and really didn’t want to go find out what was making the noise. The man and wife stood up and shouted into the bush to see if someone was there. The hairs on their heads stood up and they both felt a very strong desire to leave.
Another account was from two men who were hiking in Spindle Canyon in search of Slumach's lost gold mine. The men had set up camp for the night and when they were just starting to fall asleep, they heard a blood-curdling scream and then a series of low garbled noises. They could also smell a foul odor that resembled rotten eggs or rotting meat. At daybreak, they hiked further in the canyon and saw a Sasquatch crouched over a creek catching fish. The Sasquatch turned around and looked at the men then ran into the bush.
A logger who resided at Pitt Lake said he was heading up the lake on his boat early in the morning. Although the waters were calm, he glanced towards the shoreline and saw a series of splashes. The man headed toward shore to see if someone was in trouble. As he neared the shore, he saw a tree laying in the water and an ape-like man jumping up and down on the tree. As soon as the logger was spied, the ape-man quickly headed into the bush.
On another occasion, a logger was cutting wood outside of his cabin. His dog began to bark, growl and make crazy movements. The logger looked towards the bush to the location where the dog was staring and saw an 8-foot creature standing on its hind legs. This creature gave out a loud roar that did not resemble any animal noises heard by this experienced bushman.

Bigfoothunter In 1995, I had a report from a good friend Dan Gerak owner of the Pitt River Lodge about a fresh set of 17" Sasquatch tracks he found while hiking along a very remote creek in the upper Pitt River country. Dan said that he and a couple of friends had hiked up a small creek a few miles in search of some good rainbow trout fishing. In a very remote and rugged area they came across four or five 17" Sasquatch tracks impressed into a dampened natural earth slide along the creek. Dan explained the tracks were farther apart then he could fully stretch his legs and so clear that he could see dermal imprints in the bottoms. Interestingly, Dan also said that while flying in helicopters over the years, he noticed that the valley he found those Sasquatch tracks in, - is the only one that links up cleanly with the Harrison Lake country and has no boxed canyons or obstructions. A possible Sasquatch migration route?Ken

Thomas Steenberg has some in his books too, of the West side of Harrison lake, I think. Will have to go look to be sure.

Hi all, I've recently re-enlisted and have been in Alberta for a while, sorry to have dropped off the face of the planet. Been taking a couple courses over to ready myself for deployment. Whilst back I thought I'd take some time and see whats new with one of my favorite mysteries. Monster Quest Sasquatch II episode was dissapointing, and perhaps I should redefine my words, since they have come under concern with a few of you; To speak a little more clearly, to say I couldn't see what I took several defensive shots on is a bad choice of words. A better wy to put it is that I was having a very difficult time identifying my intruder, as there was distance and lots of forest growth between us, and I found myself stricken with real fear and my survival instincts kicked in. I know what it wasn't, but I do not feel confident saying I know what it was. I agree that there are more responsible methods I could have used, but I am a person who listens to my instincts, and my fight vs. flight instincts were vibrating and I tried both. This encounter left me disturbed for quite a while and even now I have goosebumbs re-envisioning that day. I still firmly believe that my visitor did not appreciate my presence, and at least at the time, gave me a very strong feeling to not give it a chance to close the distance between us, as something bad may have happened to me. IF this were a bear, it was very large and moved unlike a bear, and wasn't clumsy like a bear, and in my opinion (if I'm wrong feel free to correct me) a bear would have left more evidence behind of its presence. It in no way resembled a moose or deer related animal, and we were the only people out there. If that was a person, he was big, hostile, and obviously has no fear of firearms. Anyways enough of my rambling, I am in town until The new year, hi all. And uh, lol, dumb question, but how do I post pics?

Nice to see you back for a while. Thanks for explaining your reactions a bit more, appreciate that. Re the fear of firearms. It should not be presumed that these creatures or any other creature out there knows what a gun is, how it is used or what the results are. 'We' know what guns are and what they do however to transfer that 'knowledge' to this creature or any other is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. If you were to show a gun to a deer, nothing would happen. If you fire the gun and make that big noise, the deer will obviously flee, if you fire the gun at the deer and kill it, the deer will drop dead. Perhaps this applies to most animals. A human presence in their territory is enough to alarm any critter, no? I've got bear spray but hopefully they don't know about that, hehe

hi cymru, welcome back! In answer to your question, you need to download your pictures to a proxy site first such as photobucket.com, then copy and paste the IMG Code (there is a window below the posted image at that site, just click on it to copy it) on a post here. Easy peasy.
Looking forward to your pictures!
