Class B First-hand BFRO #33793

Memory told of hearing possible daytime knocking while working as a Fire Guard in the Pasayten Wilderness

September 1949 around 2pm Winthrop 40 Miles South, Okanogan County, Washington 1 witness

Account

After finishing a tour at a wilderness lookout in 1949, the witness hiked out along a wide, flat trail. From about 100-150 yards to the right, the witness heard several loud impacts described as long dry posts striking tree stumps. No loggers or campers were known to be in the area, and the witness found the sounds unlike anything previously heard in the woods.
