Regarding: "Squaw Lake Again?"

Changing the name of the lake will not stop the damage. They must know that whatever did it the first time has returned to the area up there. The question is: Will they reopen and take a chance on someone getting injured or killed, or will they act dumb and hope it goes away. Anybody that knows that place also knows how remote and inaccessible the land is. Were talking about a place where there is nothing but wilderness in any direction for thirty miles or more.

Squaw Lake Again?

USFS has found more destruction at Sru Lake formally named Squaw Lake. An on duty ranger found several heavy trash receptors smashed for the second time in six months. Also a concrete campfire ring was pulled up and hung in a nearby tree. The lake has been closed for several months because of unexplained damage to the camp area. A group of people were unsuccessful in finding the person responsible for the recent damage.

Can you please tell us the exact Squaw Lake you are speaking of as there seems to be at least two Squaw Lakes in Oregon. Thanks... Linda Newton-Perry

February 20, 2010. My wife and two children went with me on a wood cutting weekend.We live near the Oregon, California border. We had obtained a permit from the USFS for 3 cords of wood. We were in a area where a forest fire had been through 2 years earlier. Around 10 am we got to the permit area and began to saw wood. It was then my son motioned at me to look over at a pile of logs some 150 feet away from us.

As I did I saw a brown colored shape and head on the other side of the pile looking at us. It was definitely an upright apelike looking human. I yelled for the family to get in the truck. This thing took off towards the other side of the hill and was gone in a instant. I threw the chainsaw in back and we left the area. We got down the road about 1/2 mile and come across a another party coming up.

I stopped them and told them what we had seen. After the laughter, the driver said to turn around and follow them back up there. When we looked around the pile, we found several large tracks where this thing had been watching us. The other guys didn't stay to cut wood either. We all went to the lower location to cut our firewood.

 I reported the incident to FS on Monday. Don L
