Burnside Lake was a 3 year project in the making as I learned about it a few years back when I heard someone had died up here. But that was not my reasoning for taking the time to do proper research back in this place afterall the lake resides so deep in the sierras that getting back to it really makes you feel small in comparison to the vastness of the region.
 
Every year I host a bigfoot camp this is where you can camp, hike, fish and spend a few days working with me for this elusive cryptid. You start to find out that this creature is not as elusive if you know where to go and how to get their attention. The region is all primitive there are no trails when you go off into the wilderness you know its nothing but you versus the rocks, foliage and forest.
 
The preparations that go into such a trip and cost obviously shows our viewers why my heart is set on the truth. Because we do not go out into the bush seeking fame or fortune we go out seeking adventure but to also uncover the stranger things in life that reside in the most remote places on planet Earth.
 
Ill tell you what though I own a pretty large jeep even with all the food, kids, dogs, fishing supplies, gear, backpacks, tents etc I had no room for anyone else. However if anyone wants to camp alone with me that can be arranged in the future to but out bigfoot camp is the number 1 event we host all year so allot goes into it.
 
I had no idea what I might find here since my first expedition of the region was back in Nov. 2013 it was a mild winter so I was back here collecting firewood and doing some hiking. During that time I found in the woods in a patch of snow a large bigfoot like creatures track it was large and had nice toe impressions.
 
So I thought to myself this warrants a return trip but one where I could spend sometime here hiking, rock climbing, combing the woods and even doing some night work in hopes of finding this elusive beast known as Sasquatch.
 
Tammy and I would have so much to do stopping for ice, coffee's for the road, lamp oil, bait for fishing and all the little extras like paper plates so we could burn them make less trash in the forest. Plus you have to consider what goes into our meals when I am in the woods I eat like a king no less. Its different if your on the go hiking but we would make Burnside our home for a few days which really advanced my Bigfoot research in regards to this special place very few know about. So our adventure would begin here and we would ride off to the mighty high sierras of the Carson Pass.
 
Expedition 2
Day 1
 
It was early morning we were off to a good start normally previous years I use to set up camp later towards the evening but this time around we left on a Saturday so we could set up everything in the A.M. The pass is beautiful filled with lush large mountains then their is a turn off to the left which goes up this 7 mile rugged road to the lake. Its rather woodsy people all the time come out here to gather wood its legal in the wood cutting sections.
 
Eventually when you get to the end of the road it goes down into this lake basin which all the way around the lake is full of peaks, cliffs, rock formations and very thick woods. Although the east side of the lake has fewer trees and rocks so we decided to pitch camp right on the lake.
 
This would not only give us front row access to the lake and scenery but would allow us to do some fishing when we felt like it. I could open the window to my tent and see the lake just 8 feet away. We event set the hammocks up on the lake where I read about aliens in Nevada while enjoying the nice breeze it was truly paradise.
 
When we arrived we had to set up camp its allot of work chair, food, tents etc etc. My older son and I left in the jeep for awhile to gather firewood. Surprisingly as much as I gathered another nearby camper decided to give me some of his wood and was really sincere about it since he was leaving Sunday.
 
I was surprised at the amount of people who were up here partying you had people on kayaks and wake boards. There were dogs swimming and even people just getting stoned by a fire. I ran into those guys we talked for awhile they were toking up playing football and the guy opens up his arms to me says hey man this is paradise. How could I not agree with him especially after I told him I do not know where I am going but I am going to keep heading into the woods and see where it takes us he was like right on man!
 
There was also a sports car it was stuck in the sand they wanted me to tow them out but I just do not have the right tires plus the clowns lied to me. You see there is this one area of Burnside Lake that has a nice fire pit and a huge area of shady beach front its nice. The guys were there fishing and I told them if your not going to camp here we would like to they said oh no were camping. Yet I seen no tent or sleeping bags so right then I knew they were just being greedy which is basically typical of most human beings.
 
Those guys were stranded there all day long I snickered a bit but eventually when a group of folks pushed them out they left then the spot was wide open and I was already settled in a new area of the lake. You have to understand that Burnside Lake is very primitive it resides deep in the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest. So when you arrive here you camp wherever you want whether its on the lake, hill, between rock formations or off the road on in. There is no restrooms, drinking fountains, general stores or amenities you are literally out in the middle of no mans land.
 
After getting the wood my son and Tammy along with me prior to gathering it dug out the fire pit. We had a nice one very deep and good for burning large pieces of wood. My son did most of the work because we had ashes and mud all the way up to the top of the stone circle so it had to be dug out. I had no shovel so we used the dogs metal bowl so it took awhile but we had gotten it looking nice. The threat of fire is extremely high in the sierras the problem is campers are lazy they do not want to douse their fires or build better fire rings. We rebuilt our fire ring and it did well sustaining a safe fire considering how dry some of the foliage is in the area. Let me add that when I was gathering the wood I heard something big moving around the woods maybe a bear but I was not alone.
 
Camp was settled Jarrod and I set our eyes on this massive peak which overlooks the lake besides Hawkins Peak being over 10k their are many smaller ones which remain primitive or less visited. You can drive to the top of Hawkins on a jeep road but where we were hiking too their are no roads its pure rugged wilderness. I heard some vocalizations coming from that summit and although it looked close in actuality this turned into a pretty long hike, climb and adventure.
 
 I felt if we made the trek we would come back with something good and we did. Not to mention that during the day time while setting up camp I heard some unknown vocalizations coming from that peak so being a cryptozoologist and paranormal investigator I am surely obligated to explore as well as investigate them. So we decided last minute to change our itinerary instead summating Burnside Peak instead of Hawkins as our percentage of finding Bigfoot would increase many more times by taking a more primitive route.
 
Jarrod and I headed south along the lake that is when we passed those cool campers which I talked to for awhile. I like meeting folks in the sierras nobody ever judges me for being goth everyone is just out in the woods partying, hiking and having a great time which is how it should be.
 
As we came around the south shore of the lake we went deep into the woods no compass, no maps and no special gear. Just our backpacks and my good intuition of knowing where to go. Our goal would be to push through the woods find the ridge line then climb to the top of this peak. I named it Burnside Peak since it does reside above the lake.
 
Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into when we went into the forest it was up and down hill pushing through lush foliage. Their was also thousands of large granite rocks left here from the last ice age so our journey into the wilderness was quite rugged.
 
Jarrod and I came out to this open meadow everything was dead no flowers, butterflies or even green grass. Before we entered the meadow I was sitting down when I seen this black bipedal creature zip from one small tree and dart behind a much larger one. I scratched my head we did come to take a look nobody or anything was present here not even any tracks that was my first weird experience on the expedition.
 
To our left within the meadow we seen an amazing back drop off steep cliffs. While in the meadow we jumped down into some dry creek beds following them southward towards the bottom of the mountain. The creek was very dry but I do vaguely remember there being some small pools of water where tadpoles swam in.
 
Eventually we climbed out of the deep creek bed and back into the woods this time heading uphill. I have to say the mountain was very steep probably a level 4 primitive climb/hike. Its hard when your hiking uphill when all you see ahead of you are large fallen trees, granite rocks and loose decomposed granite. Even looking through the woods we could see no end to the trees. If we cut it to far to the right their were cliffs if we went to far to the left we might entirely miss summating the peak all together so it was a bit of a challenge.
 
One thing did not make sense in the woods though which was we heard something very big crashing through the woods coming towards us. We never seen what it was but it was very large and made allot of noise. Maybe it was bigfoot checking us out who knows but something made the track up here in Nov. of 2013 so whatever it was may still be hiding or living within this very region.
 
The hardest part about this hike was the fact that between the openings within the woods the sun was beaming down on us. I was soak and wet from the heat alone even though it was only about 83 degrees up here it still felt much hotter then it should have felt. Most of the climb was uphill no breaks just climb and more climbing.
 
Their were at times granite slabs we could run up that were steep while other times we had to climb downed trees. I took us to the left to follow the ridge to the top that is where it led us to the crown of the peak which is just this massive pile of rocks for a over a hundred feet the size of mini vans. But at least we made it to the bottom of the cliff with only about 150' more of climbing.
 
Not to far from that area we found a very large den it had a big room in it also. I believe the den could be used by animals, giants, Sasquatch or whatever it has a big entrance that drops down into this room that is completely sheltered on all sides. We found no forensic evidence but it does not mean something at one time did not use this cave. They get 20' of snow up here some winters sometimes 50' so a cave would prove as an invaluable resource to sustain themselves.
 
Since we could not climb up the front of the peak or crown rather we went around it then began to rock climb. I have to say if you do not have a good grip on them rocks or for some reason you go the wrong way up its over. One wrong fall or losing balance banging your head its all over. My son is a good climber he is flawless when it comes to safety and which giant rocks to climb. At times we had to leap over crevices other times climb straight up 10' rock faces but eventually when we made it to the top we realized we were standing on this large volcanic dome.
 
The rock at the very top of the summit was very black but also throughout it was allot of glass like shards so it sort of hurt to sit down and break at. But I finally was on top of the cliffs and tree line which overshadows Burnside Lake. I let out a Bigfoot call and could see Tammy a couple miles off in the distance standing on the shore waving to us. She took our photos we took there's it was fun and the stoner guys also yelped back to me. I told them earlier when talking that id probably just wander the woods or climb one of the taller peaks that is in the area little did I know that we would find this awesome dome considering that the crown is only visible high above the lake and we had to traverse the woods to find it. It was not an easy feat to climb the crown nor was it to find the dome which is one of the highest points above the entire lake and hardest primitive areas to reach.
 
Jarrod and I were amazed with the view you could see on the other side of the lake a massive canyon which ran perpendicular to another canyon with this massive opening to Markleeville/Grover Hot Springs nestled all within the sierras from afar. The massive canyon which ran to the north of us also ran into another canyon that went northeast and northwest.
 
The northern Canyon which ran behind Burnside Lake had many peaks I never seen before just volcanic spires that you could summit. There would be no way to work our way down into this canyon to reach the pyramid shaped peak across the other side not without it running later into the night so we had to head back soon.
 
 The canyon to the northeast took you up into the foothills of Hawkins Peak which is a mountain I have had my eye on the problem is its not as primitive and the last 1200' of the climb has no foliage which means you have no shade. But from this peak I could see a jeep road to the top so who knows maybe one of these days will ride up near the top then hike the rest of the way to the top to complete this region.
 
While the canyon to the Northwest ran along the Mokelumne Wilderness and its cliffs had to be 1000'k at least. Behind those cliffs was a gorgeous site that is Mount Raymond which is an area two years ago we had a primitive bigfoot camp at and boy was it one of the best memories of my life. I mean the amount of lakes, volcanic peaks and beautiful meadows back beyond that canyon will blow your mind.
 
Its kind of odd standing on a peak especially when you turn 360 degrees and you see sites that I once camped at or found bigfoot evidence at. I mean I could see Red Peak which we climbed, Mount Raymond and even the canyon we climbed up in Grover Hot Springs where something jumped over the trail prior to finding this massive track in the woods. I sit back reflect with a toke or two maybe a brew and think wow look at much mileage I have encompassed on my journeys these past few years wondering to myself where will I go next?
 
On our way down the mountain it was much easier we practically leaped the rocks on the crown and eventually pushed our way to the bottom of the mountain. We found an old forestry or mining road sadly its overgrown by evergreens some as tall as me the perfect Xmas trees right? The problem was for nearly a quarter of a mile they became so thick on this old road we had to abort and get back into the woods again. Because we were pushing through dozens of trees all growing so close that the pine needles were pinching us.
 
Strangely in the middle of the woods I found a wooden shelter it was kind of like a bark house probably made by a true bushwhacker but I wont rule out Bigfoot either since recently someone sent me photos of tracks and a similar looking bark house I think we have to keep an openmind.
 
Once we went back into the woods and we found a bunch of large granite rocks in between them was an old hermits encampment. Their was a broken dresser, kids chair, steak knives, old car parts, rusty lug nuts, pots and even pans. Their was also two grills both so rusty that they had no bottoms to them. The person had a sign laying on a rock and just a bunch of trinkets at least whoever was living here. We think it was someone who resorted to living in the wild and yes besides bigfoot their are wildmen in the woods who have gone completely off the deep end.
 
I kind of felt a bit worried back here watched like we stumbled upon something we should not have found. Its obvious that the person who made this encampment collected things that local campers left behind including an old temperature gauge from an older car probably from the 70's.
 
Not to far away from the encampment or at least behind it was a tree swing with ropes and an actual wooden board. Jarrod and I went for a swing he did not get as high as me but I have to say it was an awesome experience. You can swing facing the woods or you could swing facing the beautiful meadow which is overshadowed by these amazing cliffs. The problem is since the creeks that run throughout the meadow are dry so is the meadow it is brown with no life whatsoever not even a deer grazing.
 
It was a bit odd that their was a swing not far from Hermits Camp this coincides with the children's chair. My guess would be an adult and a child may have hid out here. Perhaps someone went homeless or went into hiding its hard to tell. The swing was much newer then the hermit camp but then seeing the old 60's or 70's kids chair it sure makes you wonder. The creek near the camp and swing was barely trickling I would assume that the person who built the camp built it near the creek so they had access to water and the deer that once grazed this meadow. But as my son said everything is rusted, forgotten and old so more then likely whoever was here is long gone.
 
Eventually Jarrod and I crossed the meadow then headed to the north and after a few hundred feet of woods we ran right into the south shore of Burnside Lake where we would follow it over this inlet and dry creek.  It kind of is sad to see creeks run dry but the last two winters been so mild that lakes are very low right now and the fishing in the sierras is at a low.
 
When we arrived back at camp I did do some fishing but it became really windy so the trout were not feeding because there was no bugs over the water. Not to far away from us there was a huge party going on and further down the dirt road back by some large rocks another party begin. We had two parties going on I mean trucks were coming in left and right asking where the party is I was like so much for peace and quiet. The sky turned pink it was gorgeous this is the moment I was waiting on for almost an entire year and it came full circle along with bats flying everywhere that is truly the bomb!
 
The sun was going down I seen some bats coming out took some beautiful photos of sunset over the lake and honestly I really just took it all in. I mean we had our fire pit a few feet from the lake, tents, hammocks and BBQ grill. It was a nice spot with shady big trees even some lake shore for the dogs to take a dip in. Sunset exciting me as darkness set in so did all the stars within the Milky Way.  I also seen a green fireball shoot across the sky burning up twice at separate times not something you see often but being out there in such a remote place you see allot of things in those skies. Just like a face perhaps a unicorn/pegasus or as Tammy said an Angel it is cool just to let your imagine run wild and it does not even have to be paranromal related!
 
As it became darker I had listen to techno, drunk people and this loud mouthy woman late into the night. The one party had no campers by 5am they cleared the area but the other camp had tons of tents with rowdy people late into the night. On top of it 5 guys walked past our camp with lit torches yeah that sounds real safe when the fire alerts are at its highest this time of year then they went to the north end of the lake standing in a circle so who knows what they were up to but it kind of freaked out the GF just a little.
 
I fired up the grill we had garlic herb chicken, corn and beautiful gourmet onion cheeseburgers. I like to eat food from the grill I had a brew sat back smoked a cigar and just sat around the fire sharing tales. We also had some nice desserts for after the meal. The kids went to sleep early they said it was cold I thought the breeze on and off was nippy but when it stopped it was a warm night of course do not get me wrong it does drop to the 40's this time of year.
 
When I woke up in the morning I was glad to see both parties were leaving this left just us up at Burnside Lake alone to camp, fish, explore and could possibly open up some bigfoot opportunities. I really looked forward to day 2 to have the entire lake and wilderness to ourselves allowed us to be kings of the forest.
 
Day 2
 
Like always I make coffee we had a good breakfast too because I knew that this next day would be filled with new adventures. Its kind of odd but someone must had been at my camp or the wind may have blown it but their was a joint by my camp fire. I smoked it what the hell why waste mother nature right? lol it was a good morning wake n bake surprise great way to start off the day.
 
Prior to setting off  for hiking we had a game of horse shoes trust me never buy a plastic set the wind was blowing my horse shoes 5' off course and I lost bad lol. But it was a nice time played right along the lake shore it does not get any better then that freaking paradise man!
 
I packed me some chocolate milk, essentials, brews and even readied my dog. We had plans this time to climb the cliffs across Burnside Lake on the western shore. The rocks almost were as high as the ridge line which surrounds this lake basin but not quite.
 
No less would the hike be entertaining as we would have to climb through a thick forest and eventually rock climb around the cliffs to get to the top. Its funny because Tammy seen us on top of the rocks and kudos to Rascal my dog because he acts like mountain goat. I seen him go straight up this rock that I had to hold onto real tight or otherwise risk getting hurt.
 
The rock formations were unbelievable back here but again it requires allot of upper body strength as well as lower body to lock in your feet hold on tight then climb to each tier. My dog scared me a bit when we reached the top he was pacing back n forth the entire time along the cliffs. Once you get on top of these rock formations its cliffs all the way around and although not every high a 100' fall can kill you so we made sure we sat right in the middle of the plateau.
 
This was a nice hike I had both my kids with me and the dog everybody was quite happy with the nice view of the lake as we were just above the tree line looking to the NE at the lake. So besides taking awesome team tripod shots on our first day I also took some our second day here. There was not allot of bigfoot activity here then again this area was not as primitive as the peak, meadow and canyon Jarrod and I found on foot on Day 1.

When we made our way off the dome its very primitive especially the lakes SW shoreline where I had the dog, boys and me look for tracks. Jarrod did locate this one track it was enormously wide pictures below of a toe span. The stride was nearly 5' to 6' feet in the marshland area where swimmers stay away from due to still water and high grass. Rather they use the eastern beach which is more accesible.
 
When we came back to camp I spent most of the day relaxing. I mean it was a beautiful 80 degree day with little wind nice day just to sit in a hammock eat some hot tamales candy or smoke a cigar read a book. I honestly spend most of Sunday with my family. Later that night I cooked these killer BBQ pork steaks right over the open fire on a grate I brought so that is as natural as it gets along with a nice potato salad yum!
 
Later that evening I did do some fishing as the sun went down the fish were on a feeding frenzy. I mean I lost an entire container of night crawlers within an hour. I had a few fish I lost but I think some of them were just to small to hook as my bobber was all over the place and yet at times had a chewed up worm. However do not get me wrong Burnside is one of the better places to catch trout at in the sierras I just was not so lucky. It was fun my son had some good bites to we knew their was fish here we heard some big ones jump out of the water the evening before problem is we never caught anything but it still was a blast. I mean think about it cigar, fishing, beer, food and serenity all great things!
 
That night we had smores around the fire it was less windy so we had a much bigger fire then the night before. It was very quiet Tammy and I sat outside ourselves just talking. When all of sudden I heard in the canyon behind the west end of Burnside Lake these eerie vocalizations. They were so loud it sounded like two bigfoot like creatures screaming at eachother then their was a third scream like some animal being taken down. But the animal screamed it almost sounded like it said help but according to Tammy deer and rabbit scream like they are human when they are being killed.
 
Tammy said it sounded like coyotes but in the past three years I never seen one coyote or heard one in the high sierras. I have seen them in the NV mountains and high desert just not the high sierras so I really do not know. I realize their are wolves, bear and mountain lion which are predatory in this region but what I heard was shrilling and was just not right even Tammy off the cam admitted to me after I was trying to capture the vocalizations that they may not have been coyotes and that it sounded to her like some monster attacking another animal far off in the distance.
 
When I started to hear the vocalizations that is when I quickly turned on the cam whether the microphone will pick up those I will have to review the footage and see.  I mean whatever was killed we heard echo 5 to 6 times just as we heard whatever was chasing it 5 to 6 times so that was pretty chilling. Could it have been Bigfoot?
 
 I think we have to keep an openmind I mean whatever made the vocalizations was large you could hear the screams and what sounded like a large primate echoing over and over. I did not hear coyotes but Tammy is skeptical all until I told her I am going to call whatever made those back then she was like don't Rick they may not be nice creatures lol. So I think she really had gotten a taste for her first bigfoot vocalizations ever and they were straight up scary just out of the blue. No coyotes would ever make a sound like that something was being hunted for sport and it was caught! It screamed and I turned on the came as soon as I heard them starting up.
 
Whatever it was had been long gone but I knew it came from a canyon that Jarrod and I seen on day 1. Its not a canyon you can just hike in either its overgrown, rocky and full of heavy vegetation with steep cliffs on both sides. So whatever it was truly was in a primitive area hunting its prey at midnight and ill never forget those horrifying sounds no matter what made them.
 
I did end up putting the fire out and going to bed I did not hear anything strange. Problem is once you shut the fire down and oil lamps that is it. Its free game for anything to come through camp and snoop around even Bigfoot or black bears. Luckily we lock up all food items in our jeep so that kind of keeps them at bay plus we keep our campsite very clean so that helps to and just a safety tip to those who want to camp here someday. I went to the tent put on a lamp read a book dozed off and had a really good nights worth of sleep.
 
Day 3
 
Morning came I heard the boys unzip their tent and they were messing around. I let my dog out to go to the bathroom put on some house slippers started the coffee. Jarrod was very over excited to tell me that he heard this banging noise on the other side of the lake which BTW is extremely over grown and primitive. Those cliffs on the opposite of the lake and peaks contain many paths over the lake basins ridge down into the very canyon we heard the vocalizations.
 
My son explained to me when he heard the banging he took a piece of wood banging it on the rock. When he seen a bipedal black creature come up to the lake shore look at him and lumber back off into the forest. Amazingly this sometimes works when it comes to finding these creatures but it also can piss them off or make them feel threatened. You have to understand its an early Monday morning not a soul was up there just us which allows creatures like Bigfoot to come down to the lake in search of water.
 
I believe and maybe I am wrong but based on how he described it this is what I seen on Day 1 on the edge of the meadow. I seen a bipedal black creature move from one tree to the next then vanish maybe because it climbed up the tree so yeah always look up when your looking for this creature.
 
That day I would pack our packs once again this would be one final hike actually a really great one. We would climb over the ridge and cliffs behind our campsite or rather the east end of the lake to a series of rocks which is the highest point on the east end of the lake besides the amazing Hawkins Peak which is a few miles off in the distance.
 
We did do a few tripod shots on the cliffs overlooking the lake then Jarrod and I went up into the woods below Hawkins. We then hiked north through the woods below one of the massive hills which resides below the peak or perhaps mountains afterall the first ascension is a 1000'k climb then you follow the saddle to another 1000'k climb without any woods so we were below the tree line hiking north for about 3 miles in primitive forest no trails or amenities.
 
We followed the foothills below Hawkins Peak for awhile then turned left and came right out onto Burnside Lake Road which again is 7 mile long and a couple years ago a man hiking on it froze to death. This is not an area to ever go up in during the winter time and if you do you better prepare because the snow gets higher then your head. The gates to the lake generally stay closed at least half of the year sometimes longer so its not an area that is accessible all the time.
 
One thing that caught us both by surprise is we found an unknown series of stool piles. One pile was massive it looked like something large made it I mean one of the sizes of the fecal matter was as large as my fist while I could study it and found out whatever made this pile was an herbivore. Their was no animal hair in the stool or even berries. We know it was not bear scat as nearby we did find a pile of it but again when you spend allot of time outdoors you know the difference. Their was a huge difference between the bear stool and the two piles of stool we found deep in the forest. I think we found the area where this creature relieves himself at as a third pile emerged not to far away each one was the same but made by something larger then that of a black bear. So the real question is what could it be? I had to video tape and photograph the stool its at this point evidence which point to all the signs that a very large creature is defecating in these woods.

Not to far from that very site Jarrod found a rock with crystals on the bottom laying on a granite boulder. I believe since their were broken off pieces that something or someone banged that rock very hard against the boulder. I have seen a similar rock up at Kings Canyon laying on a stump maybe this is how Bigfoot communicates.  No less in our research we have to keep an openmind its just that simple.

We were quite deep in the wilderness this is a dense forest full of fallen trees, massive rocks, peaks everywhere and dense forest. That is when we heard these mysterious booms I could not record them on time but the skies at that time were crystal blue and clear. I know all year allot of news sites talk about what these mysterious booms could or could not be. But I thought I would note it on my journey for everywhere to pay mind to.
 
This part of the woods was lush anotherwards flowers still grew and were not dying from an early Autumn. Just as I photographed a few butterflies back here as to where we did not see any on our other hikes. I found berries in the woods and even wild mushrooms. It appears that an early Autumn has not effected the forest below Hawkins peak but it is effected the woods and meadows that surround Burnside Lake based on my observations. This hills went up and down but really all we could see is more and more woods. We could not see any peaks, landmarks let alone even the lake but as a bigfoot chaser I know that the more remote you go the better of a chance you have at finding good evidence. All our finds are done with hard work nothing gets handed to me I use my own money and my legs to find me what needs to be found.
 
My dog has a new infatuation which is chasing chipmunks he never use to not sure what the deal is. But the one thing that caught me as strange is that on one occasion my dog went after a chipmunk which btw some carry the plague just so hikers know do NOT feed them if you value your life. The other thing that caught my eye is that my dog stopped in the woods in this frozen stance scared shitless like he just seen Bigfoot. I did not think much of it till later something came towards us when we made it to the road crashing through the woods. So I think my dog knew something was in those woods maybe trailing us from a distance. The woods below Hawkins Peak is a wild adventure in itself they are so thick and anything could be hiding elusively back here who knows!
 
We were glad to have finally found the road after being in thick woods for hours at the same time we were put on high alert when something big, broad and large snapped a bunch of branches. Once again never seen what it was but could hear it walking and it was extremely large as if it followed us to the edge of the woods and ended up stepping on a bunch of crisp branches.
 
We stood still waiting for something to come out of the forest but nothing came its as if whatever was following us just stopped or went up in the trees to hide. But at the moment I felt watched, followed and sort of disappointed that I did not get to see whatever was coming at us through the woods. I am finding that Bigfoot is extremely curious but at the same time its a cautious creature who at all cost does everything it can to remain hidden besides the tracks it leaves behind like the one I found in 2013 here. No less something stayed with us in the woods for awhile and we never could see it but my son smelt it along with the dog was a bit yancy.
 
When we arrived back at camp I decided to take Tammy on a hike to the creek which runs about 20' then runs dry as it ascends into the sierras. I felt stalked back here something was moving around who knows I never did get to see it. I just know it was not far from where I had my first sighting two days prior. Although the Sierras have some game its really not allot mainly deer sometimes a bear or cougar. But my awareness rises whenever during the day you hear something big moving around yet no matter how hard you look around for it you cannot seem to find it even in broad day light.

When we had came back to camp I had  started up the fire then pulled out our roaster skewers and roasted some hot dogs over the fire. We had macaroni salad and triple berry muffins. It was a stellar lunch prior to us having to pack up all our gear into the truck which actually we had more room because we went through most of the food. I am considering buying a cargo carrier for my jeep that way I have more room since I have allot of gear that includes a second tent now and even a small boat. So the collection is growing but its all good we are a family who has adoration for the outdoors.
 
Jarrod and I target practiced I am 2 for 2 while he was 3 for 3 that was pretty fun just making a few targets to hit. Looks like our aim shooting guns and arrows has greatly improved which is an essential skill. This is a skill everyone should learn and possibly train for it might save your life lets just leave it at that. I also played football with my sons my older boy kicked the ball and his brand new shoe fell completely apart man that pissed me off if you are a parent then you know how much sneakers cost at the store lol. We also played horse shoes it was adults VS the kids Tammy and I kicked ass we played 5 rounds getting five points. I actually hit the bar a couple times but then again their was no winds at the time so my plastic horse shoes were not blowing like Frisbees in the wind lol.
 
Packing up is the biggest pain in the ass you spend time setting up lamps hell my son made a stone table and chair even. On a nice note I left a ton of firewood for another camper but within an hour everything was in the jeep. We had both tents down, food saved, gear in the jeep and just a few things left to shove on in before leaving. I took one last look at Burnside smoked a grape cigar a large one then I left. I decided to let Tammy drive the road out so she could experience how rugged it is actually its allot of fun but again if you go back here keep in mind if you get stuck on the road or at the lake you could be in a bit of a jam its desolate wilderness back in here most of the time.
 
I tried to find the Burnside Mine never found it to many roads go to the right I even found this one gate that said no vehicles past this point but you can hike the road. All the roads to the right lead up near the top of Hawkins Peak which is fine I guess if you want to drive but then you miss out on nature, scenic vista points and you really wont find bigfoot sitting in a jeep to the top.
 
Even though I captured allot of wildlife to top off the icing on the cake we saw a buck standing in the middle of the road leaving the lake. I went to grab my camera to photograph him I believe I captured him on the road and in the woods watching us.  But this just proves there is food sources available in the area just as I seen berries, mushrooms that were half eaten and other edibles a bigfoot creature such as this may devour to survive.
 
In conclusion to our camping trip I learned allot that indeed their is something back here whether its a monster of some kind or giant of the forest or Sasquatch himself. I think that as a whole the woods around Burnside are just plain creepy and if you are not an outdoors expert you can get lost and even end up dead. Cliff climbing, rock scrambling, going primitive etc all require strong skills and decision making.
 
I am not sure what I seen or heard but I do not think bear follow you in the woods then stop when you stop or run on two legs or scream at one another while trying to capture some prey. Just as I am not sure what was banging on the trees and peering at my son on the other side of the lake. So many things just do not add up but being an adventure group we take the strange as it might come even if that is finding an old hermit camp or some other oddity like me photographing a cloud that looked like an angel or the odd chemtrails which seem to within hours cause the sky to turn gray everytime I hike in the sierras. So overall I have to look at this region as just a strange place that probably hides allot of its secrets.
 
I found on my hike plenty of berries in the woods and then their was the massive buck. If you combine that with the lake water and its primitive location its plausible to say that something might be lurking back here. This also goes with the massive track I found in a patch of snow in the woods here in Nov. 2013.
 
What I can tell all of you is this is going to be a wonderful addition to our site plus it completes the follow up expedition to this really amazing place. I took allot of videos, pictures and tried to gather as much evidence as I could. Your going to see allot of nature, offbeat primitive locations, cliffs, mountains and all that good stuff. I truly hope my cam caught the vocalizations or recorded them they would make a nice addition to our site to go with the track I found.
 
The only thing I was sad about is that someone near our camp spot cut the rope swing while Saturday night people partied so loud I never really had gotten the chance to listen for vocalizations especially with drunk people shouting and acting like fools.
 
Our trip home was relaxing I sipped Nesquik ate some candy and granola bars on the journey home. We stopped at Jack n The Box for dinner then came home to unload all the gear. All our clothes smelled like charcoal and campfire lol ahhhhhh what a nice smell.
 
I cant ask for more though I had gotten to do everything I wanted we climbed a peak, rock climbed, cliff climbed, explored a hidden meadow, went swinging in the woods and we had not one but two bigfoot sightings on this trip which is amazing in itself. I had gotten to see allot of nature even the changing of the foliage caused from an early autumn. I drank millers, smoked cigars and smoked the best medicinal bud right on the lake it was so relaxing.
 
I sat in my hammock read books played with the kids and got to spend alone time with my girl around the fire. It was a trip ill soon never ever forget this is the whole reasoning behind what we do here at PGS. Its not about fame or money its about truth, adventure and friendship. But its also about family too and to have my family be a part of my projects really is a blessing. I am not sure their is nothing I did not experience out my tent window I could see the peak I stood on just as I could fish night or day right from my camp fire. We ate like kings and Rascal my dog had gotten in two solid days of hiking. He needed it just as much as a cold wet bath at the lake just as much as the exercise lol.
 
The kids had a great time and I had completed my mission this place is truly an area where bigfoot roams. Its an area that will test you its one of the hardest hiking locations I have done in the sierras it has everything brush, rocks, crevices, volcanic rock, cliffs, swamp land, thick meadows, remote wilderness, wild animals and even the strange. Its very hard to get back here and when you do you really want to stay that is why I returned here because I needed more time to conduct my research.
 
I am sorry that nobody has heard from me I had to keep this trip on the down low as you guys know their is a group of felon bullies particularly Krusty who attacks my paranormal sites with porn and hate content. Therefore I did not announce this event or expedition sorry but chances are if I am not online I am offline as far away from technology as possible looking for anything strange that I can see or gather evidence from.
 
I will say this we have allot of exciting projects coming up like our second expedition to the top of Maggie Peak, Historic Fort and even a haunted school house from the 1800's. Were starting to get back into ghosts with old man winter approaching and October. We also have a special bigfoot expedition planned in October which will take us over the Tahoe rim to this old saw mill and hidden lake. The trees should all be various colors it should be a fun little trek. Ill also try to get back out to Apple Valley its an area we hiked in last year, drank at the brewery, ate fresh apple pie and even bought pumpkins at. We also got some EVP at some of the local cemeteries in the valley and so I look forward to returning there. My sons birthday is also coming up in a week so ill be very busy the next 6 weeks with no breaks trust me allot of paranormal cases coming to you.
 
We have allot of catching up to do with adding cases on our site but trust me all the evidence and our work is well worth waiting for. I am the only one who updates our site therefore I do all the hard work and its a full time job but soon will be showing off our bigfoot finds and even UFO video footage you will either grow to respect the work we do or not. I will not force anyone to believe in what we do but we are committed to debunking and truthseeking! Where will we go and what we will see next? Anything is possible at this point in time we even have someone who wrote us who wants me to examine their property they have a family of four bigfoot living behind their cabins the male being very aggressive and they might end up moving because of it. So were always working hard to not only bring others history, mystery and the paranormal but also to help people cope better with the unknown!
 
On my way home when we nearly reached our house we realized during our time away their was a fire up at the Tahoe rim. All of Lake Tahoe and sierras surrounding it were full of smoke. We did not see any smoke or smell any burnt trees but they finally had gotten the fire under control as of this morning. So you can understand why its so important to get a fire permit, douse your fires, keep them low and build a solid fire pit at all times! When I arrived home I felt so bad to see the forest burning down in Tahoe but at the same time I was to tired to jump online went to watch Hell On Wheels and Witches Of East End then went straight to bed.
 
Let me just say that once again Krusty has struck I been suspended on facebook for posting a LEGAL paranormal radio program which the host is now dying of cancer. Krusty reported it I wonder why could that be because he called Hawk a DUMB MOTHERF*CKER and does not want the world to know that he is a bully in the para community? Just as my anti bullying stuff gets reported just as my research gets reported just as my own paranormal videos gets reported. How do I know who reports it? Because it tells me who did it and well its straight up harassment, hate and jealousy. Because while were away the mice will play just as they use PSP to paste my face on pornographic images.
 
My point is that I am out there all the time investigating/exploring it never stops we never take a rest almost every week we go out and do different projects and most of what we do is family run that way the work is done with reputability. We do ghost towns, mines, woods, tunnels, historic sites, forts, cemeteries and most definitely some of the prettiest places in the world even on top of the world!  Ill never give up doing what I enjoy I do not need facebook to do my work I just need to be loyal and true towards the work we do!  The paranormal is life and while haters will go ill always be here for the next grand adventure.

Burnside Lake for me was just that a grand adventure it was like stepping into a world within a world ill never forget this place nor the experiences we had here! We experienced vocalizations, sightings, oddities and even being followed in the woods multiple times. Expedition one had introdued this area to our viewers but expedition two expanded it more in depth since we spent a few days in the bush so that we could bring close our case here. We know that the paranormal is very much alive in this area of the sierras now its time to find out what other areas contain equal if not more strangeness then Burnside.
Namaste,

UFOs - Bigfoot - Fortean

We called this place giants den its just a massive room but its not easy to find nor get to. Its very well hidden in the wilderness and I believe that it could have been used by anything at this point as shelter at one point in time.
Not so much paranormal but its pretty intriguing how two private planes are flying next to eachother. Technically federal aviation laws state that non military planes are suppose to be so far in distance from one another how odd!

Its not paranormal either maybe Fortean but notice the giant face in the clouds staring down on us like there is some mad god in the skies. I believe energy can manifest itself but I had to share this when I was relaxing at camp. What do you see when you study clouds like these?
Tammy pointed this out said it reminded her of a sky angel maybe a uniorn or Pegasus. It might not be much of anything but it still is pretty cool and worth capturing a photo of it. What do you see we would love to hear your thoughts?

These chemtrails derive from a commercial airliner however when I hike allot in the sierras we get chemtrails from airliners that we cannot see. They stay in the air for many hours then the weather changes but two contrails probably just means condensation coming off the planes engines nothing more.
This is the Hermits camp we found someone collected allot of junk in the woods or maybe from camputers such as parts off vehicles, trinkets etc a bit creepy no less. There was also a chair, pans, pots, old grill and even a broken dresser. Not far from here is also a swing but its newer and probably has nothing to do with this camp.

Someone not only ate there can goods back here but they obviously may have had a means to listen to some music unless they stole the speaker from campers as a trophy lol. But in all due seriously someone was very primitive at one time back here and now that the creek running nearby is dry water was to scarce for perhaps a hermit or wildman to even stick around.
The Paranormal & Monster Hunting
Jarrod and I found dozens of piles of stool in an area deep in the woods up towards Hawkins Peak. It could be mountain lion but generally the piles do not get to the size of my entire foot either so I am not totally sure as in some of the scat came out in very large pieces while others had smaller pieces but were full of foliage from something who might eat the local foliage. While some of the piles contained hair which does NOT digest therefore it passes through the digestion system what is making them seems to have a liking for whatever it can find in the sierras based on our examination of the stool. In 2013 I found a track not far from here in the snow of something at least estimated to be  8' tall that left its entire footprint in the snow. The stool photo with my dog Rascal in it seems to be something that went Vegan but its much different then other piles found nearby. Either a cougar uses this area of the woods as his bathroom or something else predatory is making the two dozen maybe up to three these stool piles. No less we document all our finds to  let you draw your own conclusion. The fact is the dog was pretty nervous back here so maybe he senses an animal nearby or even a Squatch. The other thing was that we hiked out of this area to the main road on in that is when something big charged through the woods within minutes of studying the piles of stool. We never seen what charged at us but it was big and went right to the edge of the tree line as we hustled to get down the road a little to calm whatever it was down. This place we found all the stool is well hidden by allot of trees and rocks below Hawkin's Peak or at least climbing towards it. So its remote the perfect spot for a mountain lion or Bigfoot to use as its public restroom and whether its paranormal or not it just proves that their are bigger mammals in this general region that do eat and defecate. 
  We found this half eaten mushroom deep in the forest but also I photographed this buck along with an area in the woods full of edible berries. What it proves is that their is sustainable food in the region for various creatures whether they are herbivores or are carnivorous. This is a good size deer it could sustain a Bigfoot like creature and so can the berries which seem to grew in this area of the forest abundantly. If you throw in the secluded lake and remoteness its quite possible that there is a bigfoot like species back in this region thriving off the land thus the Burnside Lake expeditions were a huge success by our organization. 

This is an oddity in itself two anomalies or bright white objects inside the cave itself which drops down into a room. I have no idea what it could be something paranormal maybe something on the wall of the den etc. No less we ran various test and the objects are solid and appear to not show in any other photos or videos.

This tree fell over thus creating a natural shelter which looked as if something at one time was sitting down inside of it because the ground had been very compacted. Its naturally made however when it fell over it created a small bark house which could easily have been used as a shelter for juvenile Sasquatch like creatures at one time. Video of den and collapsed tree can be found further below very interesting.
I found this wood swing near the hermits camp someone put allot of work into this. It had a wood board with two holes then rope strung high up above me wrapped around a massive limb. The swing is newer but I found signs that maybe a parent and his kid lived in the woods for awhile at one time. I just jumped on pack and all started swinging not far from here I also seen a bipedal creature.

This was sent to us by a member of ours Rcardo Cordeiro it shows some strange anomalies in the woods which may or may not be something. He used a photo that was shrunk down therefore the enhanced images could actually be more clear and larger in size.
Three possible UFO's in the sky same photo this time enhancements of three objects above the trees. Its quite possible they are UFO's this place sits in the heart of the Sierra Triangle its the real deal very remote and strange.

Spherical metallic ball in the skies as we were heading into the slopes of Hawkins Peak. Rcardo Cordeiro renditioned it for us or pointed it out. Pretty interesting what this means is that these UFOs are in our skies at all the times maybe we all need to look up more.
I call this the lions den it does go a ways back and could be used by mountain lions/cougars that are found in this region.
Check out the track and the stride now were not saying this is Bigfoot but it is strange. This is marshland the water is very still so its not a good area to walk around barefoot. However what makes the track odd is that it has an extremely wide toe span. So in simple terms whatever or whoever made it had to be very tall. Our goal for day two was to climb a volcanic dome then on the way down hit one of the remote areas of the lake where the ground is softer.
 I call this place tree bangers rock and let me explain why to you. Jarrod found this rock just laying on a granite boulder in the foothills of Hawkins Peak. This area was heavily forested any direction you can almost go you could get lost or stay hidden for a very long time. The rock had quartz crystals on the bottom much like the one we found in Kings Canyon Nevada  laying on a stump. You can tell that this rock has out lived its use as we found particles of it laying on the granite boulder and a tree next to it that was missing its bark. Bigfoot uses tree and rock banging as a form of communication between the species. I believe what we found here served as a location for this to be done as it kind of overlooks some nearby old mining and forestry roads.  Its very strange how the geology of this rock is similar to the one we found up at Kings Canyon it just would appear to seem a bit out of place. My son Jarrod that morning across from our camp on the lake knocking so he knocked back when he seen a large bipedal creature lumber off into the woods. Based on the tracks we have found here, vocalizations, two sightings, odd stool and this find we can certainly lock in a case that Bigfoot possibly thrives in this area. But PLEASE be respectful of not just this creature but all nature so we can help keep it safe for them. Our discoveries we make our are very own with hard work and with these breakthroughs we are learning that maybe this lost tribe of giants are more abundant then we ever imagined!
Video Evidence

This is not paranormal or Bigfoot made however nothing goes to waste in the forest.It is possible that the tree was very weak and something pushed it over thus creating this den. These creatures of the forest will do anything they can to assure there survival. One can imagine just looking at this that any animal could hide up under here awaiting its next meal even a hungry mountain lion. Perhaps the tree become hollowed out in this area due to termites and extreme weather causing it to fall. No less we must look at both sides of the spectrum that is the basis of all research.
Finding this den was a jewel it may have not contained any bones or DNA evidence but its hidden from the rest of the world in an area so very few would ever go. The entrance to the den is fairly large it drops down into a room. More then likely a cougar or bear used it at one time or still does but with all the noise we make we scare everything away except for the Squatch himself. Other Cryptozoologist often wonder where a Bigfoot like creature might hide? Well if you want to study primitive roots probably ancient cave dwellings like these which provide shelter from the elements in the wilderness where food is abundant.

Jarrod and I were hiking in the forest when we came across some sort of an encampment. More then likely a hermit lived back here we found a dresser falling apart and a bunch of parts collected from various vehicles. There was also a chair, goggles, been cans, knives, old grills and a bunch of rusty parts that the individual may have collected from campers at the lake. I believe once the water starting running low near the meadow nearby that maybe this wildman moved on somewhere. I did not like this area I felt watched like being here was not such a good idea strangely just around the other side of the granite rocks was a tree swing that overlooks the entire meadow and cliffs behind it. The hermit camp and swing set do not correlate together they just both happened to be nice finds in a very hidden area outside Burnside Lakes basin.
This was the strangest thing I had ever seen camping in such a remote area. Later at night a large series of cars came up to the beach area and parked all up along the granite rocks for some party. I thought to myself it sounds more like a ritual as multiple people with torches, hoods and dressed in black passed by us to make there way around the northern edge of the lake. I pulled out the camera to film there torches flickering not sure what they were doing but I do know the grass near the north end of the lake and foliage is very dry. I think my major concern would have been a forest fire and we would be forced to have to retreat leaving behind our camp. In addition to strangeness prior to shooting this video I seen a green fireball that was burning up on and off in our atmosphere.

Phase two of the volcanic dome would involve our team traversing the woods below it till we could reach an area of marshland along Burnside Lakes southern shore. The grass is very tall the earth is very soft here the water is like muck its rather still not good for swimming. So your not going to find allot of people at this part of the lake. Jarrod found a rather unique track it has an extremely wide toe span then continues to take two to three more 5' to 6' strides then all of sudden just vanishes. They never turn back like a human would do nor did they reach the lake water. Maybe these are the tracks of a wild man human or non human the whole premises of this project on day two was to find tracks which we found on expedition one warranting a second journey in the region.
Tammy gives our viewers some science 101 on precipitation, impurities in water and what causes it to freeze. The reason she gets into the conversation is one of the main studies we do now in the sierras is chemtrails. Whether you realize it not all of them are harmful some is just condensation from the airliners. While others are made by craft I never see and reside up in the air for hours without ever dissipating. More then often when many chemtrails appear over a certain quadrant within those three hours the sky darkens and generally it precipitates. There might be some weather modification occurring in the sierras. Honestly the sierras lakes, rivers, streams and reservoirs are running dry due to mild winters and lack of rain.

On occasion when we are out later at night investigating Bigfoot I like to do calls to initiate responses or stir the forest up a little. Sometimes it works in regards to generation a return vocalization other times it takes awhile. We were up in the wilderness alone on a very serene night no anmails just silence therefore I figured my voice could carry so its a 50/50 shot. Were were just roasting some S'mores then I did my call I did not get anything. But id have to say after my sons went to bed and the fire begin to subside a little we did hear a mix of strange vocalizations which is in the next video.

Your sitting there listening to the crackling of the fire sometimes its to quiet then you hear something your trying to make sense of. The moon is not out and earlier you were trying to do Sasquatch vocalizations. Then all of sudden you hear what sounds like to strange vocalizations as if some hunt is taking place then you hear the scream of something being taken down. I had reacted as quickly as I good turning on the cam and you could hear more vocalizing. Tammy believes they are coyotes but I never seen them in the sierras or heard them on my journeys so it was odd. On the west side of the lake if you work your way out of the basin over the ridge is a very remote canyon that runs parallel with the lake. I integrated some photos of a case I worked up in NW Pa.of some animal mutilations we found in this one general area our team had a bigfoot sighting. I have to say I did find some coyotes that were mutilated I believe that Bigfoot may find them to be a nuisance along with the carcass of a small dog. In any case I try to keep an open mind we are in the forest you have many animals such as cougars, black bears, wolves, deer and even cattle. But what I recorded and heard at least what I could get was very odd then again during the day I heard similar vocalizations and seen a bipedal creature hide behind a tree. This should send some chills down your spine animals or monsters it gives me great pleasure to be able to share my experiences with our viewers and spook Tammy a little. Even though she believes they are coyotes she still shows great concern that making Bigfoot calls is not a good idea because she believes that these creatures are not nice. Anyhow it gets better because later in the morning when the sun came up my son seen a bipedal creature across from the lake that lumbered off after tree banging. I definitely think that the expedition was a success we found so many oddities but come on out listen to some tales and strangeness around the campfire.

I have to say that I did not rest well nearly all three nights as I heard things near camp. For example the first night I awoke to someone leaving a smoked joint behind. Then the next night I heard something move around our camp and I just listened to it move around. But when I awoke my son Jarrod ran to me said dad I heard banging on the western edge of the lake. I was intrigued to hear more I know that Bigfoot is a creature that will use a rock to bang on a tree as some kind of warming signal to others perhaps in there tribe. When he heard something knocking on the western edge of the lake he responded by banging back. As he told me about it he used the words bipedal said it walked off. I know where it went up by Burnside Summit which also gives you access to a very primitive canyon with many dens, dense forest and its just not an ideal area to hike at therefore it could have went back up over the ridge back into the wilderness. It was early morning may have came to the lake to have a drink or show some curiosity for our camp.
Hiking below Hawkins Peak has a dense forest, hills and various canyons. We are below the peak just exploring the woods I take a break to recap on a few things especially Bigfoot. You can see from the video alone that this area truly is limitless in regards to adventure and making your own path. What better to talk about Bigfoot then near an area you found a track at just 11 months earlier. Its nearly impossible to see the peak because its a very steep ascension through the forest and the top of these foothills. There are no paths here its strictly primitive exploration and it would have its rewards.

Up above the base over the cliffs on the Burnside ridge line you began to hit a bunch of hills eventually they become steeper as those will take you up to the crown of Hawkins Peak. The bottom of Hawkins Peak is extremely dense forest same type of terrain thousands of large as well as small granite rocks. Prior to filming this video my dog stopped like a pointer dog and would not move looking into the woods. Personally  thought more or less this was a strange find. Let me explain as to why okay? The stool piles were gigantic at least some of them were. There was over 20 piles in this small clearing in the woods and mainly what was in the stool was foliage. Not many mammals in the reason can digest the plant life in the region however a primate like creature has longer intestines therefore it can sustain itself on plant life alone. Its also possible this is just one very hungry large mountain lion either way we probably should not have been in the monsters restroom.
We were randomly hiking in the foothills below Hawkins Peak heading north but below the peak when Jarrod found this rock laying on a giant granite boulder. This rock is very similar to the one I found laying on a stump up in Kings Canyon. This rock had quartz crystal on the bottom and obviously looked like something beat it. The pattern is very similar to the finds in Kings Canyon perhaps these Bigfoot like creatures are able use this rock as a form of communication by repetitively hitting a tree known as tree banging or another rock. If you know anything about primates they exhibit this kind of behavior however with Bigfoot it may used as some warning system when humans are near or some other reason. It was strange to just see the rock there and many pieces of it had broken off resting on the boulder suggesting that something or someone applied force at one time on this very rock.  For a primate this would be a tree bangers paradise!

At one time their were mining districts near Burnside Lake very little remains but they had camps and each mine was in its own district.The area you see in this video is near those mines not sure what is down some of the old mining roads but many are overgrown or forgotten while some will take you near the top of Hawkins Peak. Imagine the history back here miners had the pleasure of the scenic views while roughing it in the wilderness a harsh one if that. The deeper I had gone to where the mining camps were life was flourishing nature had consumed everything. I had found a butterfly, multiple flowers still alive and the foliage was more healthy. The premises of this clip however is to show you the various food sources to sustain a Bigfoot like creature  Where the mines once were berries grow and deer run free.
This is a bit of a parody video as a paranormal investigator I try to at times lighten the mood and we have our fair share of bloopers. Prior to firing up the cam Jarrod and I heard something descending down to the road through the forest. Its very hard to remain elusive along this road due to the fallen trees, dried up wood and heavy foliage. All I could think to myself is how something was following us in the woods and the moment we get to the road whatever it was ran right to the edge of the woods as if to tell us to keep out maybe even try to scare us. No less what else can you do but laugh or instead of getting mad get even. But in all do honesty I felt like something was messing around with us my attitude was that if your going to follow us along the road you should just come out. There is also bonus footage of me showing others how to make the crucifix. Nobody says that you cannot have a good time outdoors and use anything around you as a resource waste nothing. Aside from all the sarcasm and laughter honestly ever since I examined the area we found many piles of stool at something had been staying hot on our trail at one time as the situation only intensified. Once we were able to make it onto this road we felt safe like we one who knows what would have happened if we did not make it out of the Sierra Jungle!

I took Tammy to the South end of the lake where Burnside Creek dumps into the lake. Problem is the due to a mild winter even drought the creek is not flowing and there are no waterfalls. I had heard some vocalizations in this area its a very shady area of the basin with a meadow just a little ways behind it. That meadow is where I seen something bipedal move between two trees and along it was the strange encampment I found. Overall its just one of those small areas you always feel watched although sometimes a small critter like a chipmunk can also wreak havok by knocking branches or even pine cones down. But prior to filming this something very heavy footed started coming through the woods snapping branches coming towards me. I figured it to be maybe a bear who knows a mountain lion at best stalking me. I even went to go check it out seen nothing turned on my cam and kept it rolling as I really expected to see something show itself. The south end of the lake is a gateway into a very massive wilderness area that goes up in the higher sierras all the way down to deep massive canyons. Anything can be out here UFO's Unknown species of animals or even Bigfoot all the way to considering the existence of a wild man. The natives referred to such creatures as being tribal and maybe they are territorial for self preservation purposes since man is encroaching upon locations like these.
This is a special clip of a good portion of the beautiful drive leaving Burnside Lake which is very remote. Portions of the ride have beautiful granite rocks surrounded by tall trees while to the left is the mountains of the mighty Carson Pass a heartbeat within the sierras. There is also some pillow humor in the video I swear next time I go camping I am bringing a carrier for my jeep. We have so much food, gear, supplies, dogs, kids, fishing gear etc.The road from the lake basin to the pass is around 7 miles which can be treacherous in the winter so please remember that area deems respect all the way from the peaks with the sheer cliffs to the dense forest. Towards the end of the video I give everyone one last really gorgeous view and really to thank all of you for your support.
