Rocky, it has been raining and muddy here for the past few days. Both Fred and Joe wear boots that would not leave a print like that, so it's either a bear or something else. It's a desolated area in the National Forest, I think. I've been there and it will creep you out. I can't say how deep it was; Maybe the guys will chime in and can tell the approximate measurements. I'm afraid of bears, but would be willing to go back to get a cast.
It was at least a few inches deep if not more[8|]-------neither Joe or myself made it!---I don't spook easy . But told Joe several times we were being watched[sm=rolleyes.gif].I'm always aware of my surroundings. Force of habit i guess--you never know when you may be ambushed[]
Spoken like a true Marine. Fred, I think this is close to the "Bear Dump". We all felt like we were being watched there, too. Maybe it's because we heard things being thrown (rocks) and saw a bottle a bear had dug up. There's an old wagon trail in part of that lost town and it is surrounded by trees. It looks like Sleepy Hollow. Very spooky, and I don't get spooked easily either.
I wonder how all the horses people ride on the trails there, feel about it!
