Barb,
it's documented evidence of the experience actually occurring. Evidence is need to prove a physical event to those who weren't there. Now I don't discount the event occurring but others may. That is why documented evidence of an event is needed

Urban,
I understand what you're saying, but I don't see how a picture of a rock or tree(which could be any rock or tree) or a picture of trampled grass is going to be considered evidence when people can see an actual picture of a BF and still cry hoax. I don't even bother bringing a camera with me anymore. I know they're there, the people who don't will never believe a picture anyway, JMHO. But I do appreciate your scientific approach to the subject.

Barb,
You are absolutely correct. Unless the rock lands at your feet and you see it land, there is know way of knowing which rock or which tree. This did take place in the WOODS after all. These trails are very dark at 2;00 in the morning and most of them are covered with rocks,sticks,roots etc. I was on this Expedition and I can tell you on many of the trails you spend a good deal of time just trying to see where to put your next step. It's that dark.

Thanks T, you got my point across better than I did. Trying to find one rock amongst many, or trying to find a mark on a tree 20 or 30 feet high, in the middle of the night, just seems like an exercise in futility to me. I suppose you could note the area and look for the mark on the tree the next day, but I don't see what that would prove even if you could find it.

You need to remember this is Deep woods in the dark. Also, this is a coastal environment. The winter storms blow trees and branches every which way, so yeah, there are bent and broken branches everywhere, but I didn't see, or hear anyone talking about any that looked particularly Squatchy..... |

Is is OK to tell which county you were in? I spent that weekend in the town of Elk on the Mendocino Coast and have been wondering if your expedition was near by.

No, we don't give any locations, and the county could be too much of a clue.

I went back to the trail the next day to see what the area looked like and to hopefully get some evidence, like the rock that was thrown. When the rock was thrown, one of the things that went through my mind was if that was a rock, why didn't I hear it hit the ground? Well, upon returning to the area the next day, I found the location very dense with ferns and underbrush. The tree that I felt was hit was surrounded by a huge amount of ferns that were about 3-4 feet tall each, which explains why I didn't here the rock hit the ground, it fell into a soft "bed" of ferns. To walk into those ferns and find anything, let alone "the" rock, would be like finding a needle in a haystack. And like Barb Kaz said, to find a mark on a tree 20-30 feet off the ground would actually be futile, because I couldn't prove that a rock was responsible for creating a mark on a tree. Plus, it was dark, and I could only guess as to which tree was hit based on where I felt the sound came from. I took pictures of the area, and if I can get a little extra time over the next few weeks, I will post a link to them.
