Account
Two companions rode bikes up a road to check an old helicopter pad. Near the top they heard heavy stomping, a loud crack, and saw a madrone tree shake violently. After they threw rocks toward the tree a rock was thrown back, and as they rode down they heard stomping on each side of the road as if chasing them out.
