Man, I'm turning in to the old guys I used to see hiking around the mountains...

Epic photo to have!
And hey, nothing wrong with that, those guys always whoop my butt and pass me. Oooor are real nice and teach me something. :twothumbs:

Wrestled this off a black bear on Little Cataloochee Creek.

Wow, the bears back there are sure little guys, eh? Or was that its purse?

That's only half its hide.

 

[Rockskipper]

Is it still wearing the other half?

Is it still wearing the other half?

I thinks so. You know, there was a big cloud of dust, like in the cartoons, as we matched wits in our tussle. When the dust cleared it was gone.

I think it might be a Bigfoot's slipper.

I didn't wear my cycling cap on this trip. I decided to show off my curly locks due to the humidity. :twothumbs:

Does Bigfoot live in western Carolina?

 

[Rockskipper]

I know, I keep changing my posts - gotta be a moving target - and yes, Bigfoot is everywhere, or at least, their story-telling fans are...

It looks like there has been one sighting in Haywood County. We'll then maybe it was Bigfoot. It's funny you should bring up Bigfoot, because as we were driving up a steep, curvy Cove Mountain Road to get to Cataloochee, we passed a home that had a life sized Bigfoot carved out of wood (fairly imprssive I must say). I knew I should have stopped and taken a picture. I even asked my family why someone would have a carved Bigfoot when they don't live in NC. I wasn't up on your Haywood County sighting at that time obviously. While exploring the Little Cataloochee area, I ran across what I believe is an old trail that I will need to explore in the future. I'll get a shot of him when I return. I think Nick needs to create a Bigfoot emoji for this sight.

I absolutely DO NOT believe in Bigfoot. There is no scientific evidence. It's pure folklore...until I'm all alone at night in the wilds and I hear woodknocking and monkey chatter...

I don't believe either. Though for some inexplicable reason I picked this up on the day we were supposed to raft the French Broad River. Unfortunately, the rafting trip was canceled due to flooding. This was before we ran into the carved one near Cataloochee. Coincidence?

 

[Rockskipper]

Probly just a coincidence, or maybe Bigfoot's messin' with ya. They've been known to do that, especially if you don't believe. They know, somehow.

@Michael and his wife Heike basking in the sun in Pleasant Creek today. They are in the middle of their annual southern Utah sojourn and I had the chance to spend the weekend exploring with them. Thanks M&H!
