Fish Creek - Campers hear noises, smell 'skunky' smell

Two people backpacked in and camped for two nights along a closed road. During the second night, one camper heard sustained light movement in brush around camp after dark and woke to a strong skunk-like odor before dawn. After sunrise, that camper found two fresh and clear footprints in duff near camp measuring about 15 inches long. The camper interpreted the activity as the camp being cased.

Bigfoot "bed" and possible tracks in duff found

The witness reported finding a large mashed-vegetation bed with a trail of very large footprints leading to it and trees broken high up. An investigator later visited the site with the witness and observed that the tracks were in duff without toe detail and that one track location would be awkward for a biped. The investigator suggested the bed could be from a bear or elk and was not enthusiastic about the site as evidence.
