Hey Kyle. Thanks for reading. I need to update this stuff one of these days. As for this little piece, the repetition was deliberate. We’re talkin’ about school, here!

This seems like an almost-exact copy of the last chapter, “Waiting for the Bell”

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate the positive feedback. Yep, the soundtrack choice was rather, er, unorthodox. I was trying to come up with something other than “Rocky Mountain High”. iMovie deserves a lot of credit for the technical aspects. It makes those transitions easy to manage, and fun as well. I may have overdosed on the “Ken Burns effect”.

Excellent, well-paced transitions between images, Dan. This item was composed rather than being “thrown together”, I think. The music seemed a lot busier than the subject matter, but that may be just a matter of personal taste. Anyway, it was good to have my aesthetic challenged. I watched the video/slide-show to the end, which is unusual for me.

Comment on A Hockett Trail Guide: 4. Ladybug vs. Garfield by Dan Jensen

Hi Bill,

Bigfoot hunters? That *is* pretty creepy. In the Sierra even. Maybe that’s just what Bigfoot was thinking: “nobody will look for me in the Sierra.” Maybe he should try Berkeley!

My friend Juan and I followed the route maybe several hundred vertical feet. We passed a large clearing then encountered a deep and wide thicket. We tried tunneling under, with our packs getting snagged here and there, before I decided to turn back.

If I had another enthusiast such as you along, I might try harder next time. I might try harder to work around the thicket, or even just keep tunneling. Send me an email.

As for caves, I think that if you join a spelunking club you’d probably find out about the caves. I have not as yet gone that route, but it sounds like fun.

-Dan

Hello-

So you have attempted to follow the original Hockett Trail from Ladybug Camp to where it exisits today?
I too have tried, but I was solo and it’s a bit creepy back in there…
I was actually up there last weekend and came across a crew of 10 on a bigfoot hunting expedetion!
I would like to hear how far you made it, and if you would be attempting it again soon. I would like to join you if possible.

Also, I would like to know if you have ever found any other caves up there besides Clough.

I consider myself a local and have been all over this area, but I know there is a lot I have yet to see up there.
