We can't be to hard on Nancy, though, because she's helped both you, me, and all the ABS. My youtube silly footer video interest has payed off big-time. Remember the smell that initiated the events on the Saturday of your expedition that culminated in thinking you guys had a possible encounter?
Kit, I am at work and I cannot view you tube videos. I would hope that you are not subscribing to Nancy's theory that the smell that we encountered was caused by the restrooms. If so, Let me pause here and get my breath back from laughing.
...OK, I can breath now.
First of all, the area that Nancy was showing in that video is on the complete opposite side of the picnic area from the ravine in question. If you look at the bottom of the comments from that video you will see me arguing that fact with her.
Also, those restrooms are kept locked most of the time, especially at night. This helps to keep the animals out. But, because you seem to think this is a major metropolitan area and not a wilderness area you would not have come to that conclusion.
Also,Billy Willard (who does enviromental inspections of ground water, fuel tanks and septic systems for his profession) and myself went back to the site 2 weeks after the event and used his professional equipment to test that theory and see if a septic leak or drainage problem was the cause. It was not.
You see Kit, although your crtitcal thinking is good you just do not give us the credit of being a step ahead of you and being critical of ourselves.
A more critical thinker would have come to the conclusion that the urine smell was from a known animal such as a fox or a coyote. Even inexperienced woodsman like myself thought of that.
That restroom theory was thought of and tested. NEXT??
Well, for you and the rest of the ABS you can thank Nancy from West Virginia via kitakaze for solving the mystery for you. Drum roll, please...
Yeah, uh-huh. You and Nancy make quite the team and are made for each other.
Isn't that awesome? Thanks, Nancy! You showed me the handicapped picnic area
and solved the mystery of the ABS' mysterious pee pee smell.
When will you start making your debut in her silly videos?
I'm just going to go ahead and start my timer to see how long that thread will remain up before Melissa hides it from public view.
I don't think anyone really cares except you.
Wow. What would be crazy is if someone tried to discount that obvious busting of the possible Bigfoot stink attack by claiming it was something else.
Yes, it smelled like urine but there was something else. The Bigfoot smell and the pee pee smell were just happening at the same time.
It is never crazy to look for alternative answers. It's just where you look and who you look with. But I am glad you found your research partner in Nancy.
And Melissa says skeptics never do anything positive. I found the answer to your mystery stink! Hi five, Mel? No? Didn't think so. I think it delicious that it was me of all people that found it. She's just going to hate that. Hee hee...
You found nothing. You took the educated guess that we all did and we investigated that option.
Looking at that handicapped picnic area the idea of it being remote or that there could be undiscovered massive wood apes sneaking about around there makes it very hard not to burst out laughing. I realize it's different for you with so little experience in the woods and no one can criticize you for that.
You just did critcize me for that.B]
You have no idea. Just because there is a restroom you think it is not a wild area.
