π Description
August20,2006 We were camping at Forbush lake at the far end. My wife, son and myself. At 5:00 am this morning my son woke up and said he had heard something crossing the river behind us. We didn't think much of it as we are in the wilderness, but then I heard something throwing what sounded like very large rocks up the river about 20 yards away from our tent. We were camping at the mouth of the Puntledge river which meets Forbush lake it is open and very visable.I got out of our tent and started to look around and heard yet another rock being thrown into the river. I hike a lot and have had many years camping in the wilderness I have never heard this sound. I got my family up and we went to our little boat because I didn't know what else to do. We rowed out from our campsite about 40 feet and heard yet another rock being thrown. I took my flashlight and started along one side of the shore to see if I could see anything and to the right of our tent I picked up something red like a reflector shining back at us. We remained in our boat and waited until the sun came up, we went back into shore when we could see. There was nothing there, where I had flashed my light, and my son was so scared because of this we ended up packing up right then and coming home. The only way into this lake is by boat or by hiking in, but there was no others at this lake when we came in the night before. When we reached our truck there were no other cars. You are only allowed driving between 6 pm and 6 am due to the logging trucks that are coming in and out.
