I was there three times in the last week dec. 8,12,and the 14,2007.The first 2 times I was by myself and I walked many miles of trails ,this is a really large place .The first day the 12-8-07 I got out of the truck and whistled over and over and I heard nothing ,it was around 3:00 pm when I found the burned out stump and thorn tree .I was very excited to finely be here and was ready for anything .When I was looking at the stump I thought i heard a growl behind me ,but I could not be sure .About an hour later I was way back in the woods and I tried yelling out the name Stephanie of the legend and I didn't hear anything so I kept walking. I could see the river down below me so I started climbing down the hill to get to the trail beside the river I just got far enough down that I could not see back over the hill behind me when I thought I heard a female voice so I stopped and listened but I never heard it again .when I got down the hill I was walking back along the river when I noticed an eagle flying over head ,it made a loop over my head and flew back down the river ,this was thrilling because I had only seen one other in my life .I went back on 12-12-07 this time I got there around 10:00 in the morning and found the concrete shelter back in the woods. I found a fresh dead mouse hanging on a twig of a tree sapling it wasn't even stiff yet on this trip I didn't hear anything , disappointing to say the least . I went back again on 12-14-07 with my girl friend at the edge of dark . We whistled when we got out of the truck and again heard nothing it was cold so we just walked back to the stump and yelled out the name stephanie again and heard nothing .Next time we want to go back late at night .
