I was in the adirondacks on an overnight snowshoe trip. I'm cursing myself for not bringing my camera. I left it behind to keep my pack weight below 25 lbs, as we were going deep into the mountains.


However, as we were snowshoing along the morning the first day, once we got deep into the mountains we stopped seeing all signs of human activity for around the next 4 miles or so. Then, toward the end of the day, (I'm CURSING for not having my camera!) we came across some tracks. They were about 8 inches wide, and around 22 inches long and teardrop shaped, with a front foot and heal area clearly defined. They seemed to be heading in the same direction we were. We followed them for the next 45 minutes. They lead to a lean-to and then faded away. (NYS helicopters in building materials and lands them on frozen Adirondack lakes in the winter, and volunteers, usually boy scouts, build semi-permanant lean-to structures all along the adirondacks, every 10 to 20 miles....)

We were pretty freaked out. Although we couldn't make out any toe or claw shapes in the powdery snow, they were definitely 20-22 inches long and tear drop shaped, like a foot.

Anyway, we made a fire and cooked dinner in the dark. We pitched two tents and two of us put our bivys inside the lean-to. The lean to was under a thick canopy of tall pine trees overlooking a lake. We hung our food in a nearby tree and played cards until 9, then went to sleep. i slept in the lean to.

At around 4am, I woke up hearing something at the edge of the lean to. I peered out from my bivy, and could barely make out the shape of something big in the dark. I couldn't say for sure it was humanoid, but I could hear a breathing sound. I reached for my light, but in doing so I knocked over my stove, making a racket. When I turned my light on, there was nothing there.

20 minutes or so later, we heard objects hitting the roof of the Lean to. It freaked us all out. There would be somethign hitting the roof every hour or so all night.

In the morning, we found 10 or so sticks about a foot long and as thick as my thumb on the lean to roof. Thrown there in the absence of rocks due to thick snow cover? Also, in the opening where I saw the creature, the snow was very packed down, as if something had paced back and forth there for awhile.

We ate breakfast and packed up our stuff and walked out. The wind picked up, and over the sound of the wind we could clearly hear sticks being banged together, as if the creature was telling us our decision to leave it's territory was a good one.

The rest of the trip there was no more activity or tracks.

Thank you for this important story and please keep us up to date. Do you have an exact location for what you saw? - Raymonty/Old Dog.

The title says bigfoot found. you have no bigfoot, no photos.WTF

Neognosis, this is at least the third time you've posted this thread or something extremely similar to it, please stop starting these "Bigfoot not found" threads, they serve no purpose other than to ridicule and attack those who have a genuine interest in the phenomenon.

It's interesting that you departed for this trip saying (sarcastically?) that you were going to keep an eye out for bigfoot.

Your story is very compelling, yet I'm not buying it... as I wouldn't be surprised by you BSing this to prove some kind of abstract point.

Shouldn't have left the camera...

We here in the mountains call the creature,"Montaneman" - Raymonty.

I have a photo but it was taken in the spring time. It was taken in side of a small cave - Raymonty.

I think this could be an experiment perpitrated by Neognosis to gage the responses. If not, then ya wheres the Beef ? I mean Proof....

Can you believe the truth? Can you handle the truth? Do you want to know the truth? - Raymonty.

and where is this pic. show us something anything, anything, this thread is pointless without it.

I thought you got a warning against posting these threads, from the big boss

Edited to add

Indeed ~ This is the first time that I have made comments on this website. Please explain what you are talking about? Who is the Big Boss? What am I doing wrong?

Folks, our friend Neogenesis is having fun playing with minds. Technically, this is not flamebaiting -- but let's call it "tease baiting."

Neo is fairly obsessed with the fact that Bigfoot cannot possibly exist and, and he is amazed that lots of people are apparently willing to at least entertain the notion that there could be a species of unclassified giant ape in North America.

Neo is on a one-man mission to free our minds from that which he considers unscientific to the point of absurdity. His efforts are nothing less than heroic, I suppose.

He's like the Gandhi or Mother Teresa of "there is no Bigfoot." He is driven to drive Bigfoot from the consciousness of the world!!

Well, you know, everyone should have goals in life.

Neog-ridiculer found snowshoe tracks, and he's desperately hoping someone asks for details. He's so transparent he should be invisible. Mods?
