Moose river plains, sleepless night, "creature"

[Dinner by the Pound]

Repeat the Camping Experience

I have a friend who firmly believes in buying a bag of McDonald hamburgers. Burgers are placed around the camp perimeter as you would lay a long rope to ward off snakes. Sit quietly as you drink through the late night hours enjoying your favorite brew and chowing down a chunk of fire-roasted Spam. If the experience repeats itself, please contact me. I would like to check it out myself. It's definitely not Bob the Bear or Harold the Moose. You didn't say where you were camping. That could help narrow the mystery down. Were you near the Red river? Little Plains? Big Plains? Otter Brook? Lost
Ponds? Mt. Tom? Mitchell Ponds? I might be able to help you. Ive been camping in the Plains for 40 years. If you were near Ice House Pond, I suspect you experienced the musings of long departed Fred Hynes. Seriously!!!! See the new book ADIRONDACK MEMORIES and
CAMPFIRE STORIES. There is a photo of his gravestone taken before it was destroyed in the 1890s. Wellington Kenwell later placed a small marble marker at the site but that too was destroyed in the 1950s during logging operations. Know you are not the first person to have this experience.

Could it possibly be.... Man Bear Pig?

Could it possibly be.... Man Bear Pig?

Is that the one that's half man, half pig, and half bear?

You don't think Kimpdog is Al Gore do you?

[EagleCrag]

Another thought, were you eating any of Jack Links jerky?

[KIMPDOG]

Buahahahahaha, I've been called a lot of names before, but Al Gore is a new one! Hahahahaha! We were camping about a mile past Helldiver Pond.... I'm headed back tomorrow to see if whatever it was comes back out to play... This time I'll be more prepared!

[KIMPDOG]

And I actually was eating jack links jerky!!! Too funny!

The man-bear-pig was a South Park episode in which Al Gore tries to convince the world of its existence. I think it was a spoof on Global Warming.

Good luck on your search.

That was on the 17th , no report back in 3 days . The mystery continues

No one is really pointing this out...This is really serious if (big "if") it is true.

If what's described is accurate then obviously these were humans, and not just "kids messing around" but criminals threatening your safety. A "softball size" rock thrown against a tent is easily a lethal weapon, especially in the backcountry far away from EMS. This kind of **** is why I won't camp unarmed.

My previous message is absolutly true... We were camping in site 44. This past weekend we went back and camped a few spots down the road from 44 and there was no activity. We did go back to 44 and did a complete search of the area. We found many trails that all lead deep into the woods. Heavily walked trails. I don't think a Bigfoot visited us but I do think a hermit might have been messing with us. This past weekend we went armed too! Were headed back up this weekend to explore all the trails behind site 44.... Wish us luck!!!

There have been infrequent reports of people living in the woods out that way. Some quiet and respectful, others apparently not. Several years ago, during the Wakely Dam Ultra, a disturbed individual appeared from the brush and attacked one of the runners. I've always said that the thing in the woods that we have most to fear are other people!
