Not Sru Lake but still a lake in Oregon

Guest Editor-Blogger: Charles J

Regarding: Sru Lake, former Squaw Lake, Oregon
I have ran across this blog by accident. I was searching the Internet to see when the lakes in Oregon will be stocked with trout. Then I see this about bigfoot and Sru (Squaw) lake. In June of 2008, me and two friends camped at Squaw Lake In the Siskiyous. We are all very familiar with all the wildlife in that area. Anyway  the first day we camped, there were the strangest [occurrences that] we've ever encountered.

The first night we heard a commotion on the mountain unlike anything we have ever experienced. A terrible scream covered the mountains from something up above us, then the sound of breaking tree limbs on trees. The whole area was devoid of wildlife and seemed dead. The next morning we were eating breakfast and all of a sudden a huge rock splashed into the lake. We didn't know what to make of that.

That night the screams and pounding of rocks together kept us up by the fire all night. Day two we quickly left the campground and went into Powers Oregon to get some grub for our next camp. Anyway we did not know about bigfoot problems there but suspected something very wrong. Now we all know just how lucky we were, not to see the maker of that terrible noise. Whatever made that noise was seemingly monstrous. Our next camp was at Agness with no problems.

I worked for USFS out of Powers from 1954 to 1987 and knew of many reports coming from the area of the USFS #3348. The USFS had a good size file on that lake and the surrounding area. Also, I was up there one time and saw where something had snapped smaller trees off near the lake. It does not surprise me that this lake is now shutdown. Of all the areas in the Siskiyou's I've traveled I have seen many unexplained prints and tree damage not from anything known to me near there and also over on the 5201 on Butler MT.

Yes I do remember the camping group up there. They were actually college students from OSU on a nature study. I'm very disheartened on what the forest service has become.Since the years I worked up at PRD their field staff has went from 39 to 5 maybe less now.

Aggressive Creature...Politics run USFS

Regarding: "Sid Phoned Powers Ranger Station Sru Lake Closing"
I can 100% guarantee everybody the USFS knows what is going on at that lake. There is no unknown vandals at work there. There is a very aggressive creature that is responsible for all the damage. Politics run USFS .

Defending DMV Where Sasquatch is Concerned

Guest Editor-Blogger: Oregon State DMV

I feel that I should try and defend DMV. Let me tell the readers of this blog that DMV is a division inside Oregon government. Oregon does not classify Sasquatch as being a real living animal nor primate. According to the federal government, Sasquatch is not a real living creature.

It is pointed out in Oregon that there is no evidence that a Bigfoot or Sasquatch is real. Oregon does understand that  many scientists and others  believe there is ample evidence for the support of this creature.Therefore a person that reports a Bigfoot to Oregon should be evaluated by DMV for medical or mental disease. A police officer in Oregon must report any such person who has claimed to have seen this creature.

Thank you for this defense. So often we don't get both sides of an issue. . . . Linda Newton-Perry

Sid Phoned Powers Ranger Station on Sru Lake Closing and More

Guest Editor-Blogger: Sid
Regarding: Closing of Sru Lake (former Squaw Lake)

I phoned the Powers Ranger Station today to get a since of what is the true driving force behind the closure of Sru Lake. The manager of that district told me there has been an ongoing problem up there and he does not want to discuss specifics about it. He said the lake has experienced several different kinds of vandalism and would not talk about what they do or do not know.

When I ask him if they think it is bigfoot related, he quickly denied it, saying there is absolutely no indication that it is anything other than your run of the mill vandals. He also said he would not talk about a mythological creature being responsible for damage. The lake had water problems along with damage from unknown people. The lake itself is only 300 ft by 600 ft. With budget cuts, it makes sense to close the areas that do not preform as a good revenue makers. He did say Sru lake is closed.

CNN Special on Bigfoot and Licenses being Suspended

If you see the promo for the bigfoot special on CNN dealing with licenses being suspended because of reporting a bigfoot to the police, please comment.

I've seen the promo clip twice. But since the Chile quake I have not. I believe the health care debate and other disasters will take the slots up for some time. We have to remember CNN is driven by ratings so they stay with the big news stories. I also think Oregon might be trying to hush the nasty little secret up not to embarrass themselves. Multiple law suits will no doubt come from the airing of a special on an illegal practice of suspension. If a lawyer thinks there is  a dollar to be made they will flood the court with suits.

On Killing Bigfoot at Sru Lake, Oregon

Guest Editor-Blogger: BFRO Member
They will never capture or kill the bigfoot near Sru Lake because of the lay of the land. If you go to google earth you will see that the area surrounding the lake is complete wilderness and not accessible by vehicle or plane. Too much forest for a plane to be of any help in searching for it. Also the land gives the bigfoot the option to get away in several directions and then return as it pleases. The thing to do is close the lake to the public and then wait and see what happens in the next few years. It has never been a money maker for FS so it doesn't mean a loss of revenue.

To kill it would be criminal in my book because their can't be all that many of the animals alive. People need to settle down and just leave this bigfoot to roam and do whatever bigfoot does. Maybe at one time this animal was shot at by a human, thus making it not friendly towards us. To simply kill it because we don't understand it would be a true travesty. There are many miles of forest out there for all, so can't we do with a little less at Sru Lake? I believe the USFS is doing the right thing by closing the lake to the public.

As an active law enforcement person, I believe trying to kill this animal would be a crime against everything we believe as right in this world. This creature has not injured or killed anybody at the lake. Just because it showed "Hostility" towards the little girl doesn't mean it was going to harm her. We do not know if this animal was simply trying to protect its own turf. If the US government goes in there and harms this animal, there will be a public out cry that we've never heard before.

With current policy, we would never even know if they did it. First they isolate it and then they deny its existence. How will the public find out? My point is that we need to pressure the people who know, to disclose its existence. So that we as the public can protect it. Otherwise they will have to kill it because they can't keep people out of there. They don't have the man power. What will they do post a guard? too many people know already. Its too late.
