But I'll be going back on Monday as I left my memory card out of the camera. As an added bonus though, as I was leaving, I heard some noise in the woods a couple hundred yards out. I had seen a couple cow elk on my way to the cave so I figure it's some elk or maybe if I'm lucky, a bear. So I start creeping toward it as quietly as I can with a rambunctious dog. I finally get to where I start seeing flashes of movement in the trees, but still can't make out what animal it might be. It's making noises like it's hitting something, so I think maybe it's a bull elk sparring on some poor sapling, but it's not the rut. So maybe it's a bear smacking a tree stump to get at grubs. I keep inching closer until I can finally see what it is. A person. I couldn't tell what he was doing out there, but I got out of there as quickly and quietly as possible. There is no way that dude wasn't up to no good. There was no car anywhere nearby, so either he parked far away or he walked or rode a bike there; both of which indicate he had a good reason to go out all that way. So, my guesses are dead body/rich stuff a la DB Coopers stash/small-time grow-op. Either way, come Monday, I'm packing heat and heading out there to find out what's over there and to get the cave pics. So, if anyone wants to come along, I'll think about splitting the rich stuff with you.
