Campers have rocks thrown at them near Mineral King
Account
Four people camped overnight in a remote pine forest after hiking all day to the spot. Around 1 a.m. large rocks began falling around their tents for several hours, despite no cliffs or steep grade that could explain natural rockfall, accompanied by very loud branch cracking. The witness got up repeatedly to look but saw nothing that could explain the activity, except a deer that stayed in camp until the disturbance stopped.
