Recollection of possible vocalizations and brush crashing while camping in the Lil-Aaron Straus Wilderness Area
Account
Three companions camped off-trail in a low valley. In the early morning the reporter and one companion were awakened by loud, close wailing vocalizations followed by crashing vegetation, breaking branches and heavy thuds lasting several minutes. A third companion slept through the episode. The group left at dawn and found no physical signs.
