Bigfoot 04

Matching set of traffic barrels on one of the linear roads crossing Bigfeet. Map soon hopefully!

Unfortunately most of my pictures of Bigfeet this day simply did not come out well. But perhaps you can get a general idea about the roads I talk about from the small photo below. There are 4 ‘of em by my counting, with the top three being basically straight as an arrow. All exist within a small pine forest of more recent origin, perhaps planted in the early to mid Naughts according to my research, making it about 10 years old or a little more. The 4th or lowest road can be extended to mostly circle around Bigfeet Swamp, with a gap remaining in its northwest corner. This gap is where the still unnamed small stream empties into the marsh from the west, crossing under each of the other three roads in its downward progress from the topping plateau.

There’s some poison ivy in the forest but not a lot. You can fairly easily avoid it for the most part, as the small wood is mainly clear of undergrowth except for in and around the swamp itself.

Another shot of the blue “doormat circle,” with a cryptically placed smooth rock. Does it represent an orbiting planet or planetoid by chance? Does the band of blue stand for our sky, or the visible universe surrounding our Earth? Sky blue represents the sky in day, a blanket for dreaming stars.

The pool formed where the feeder stream enters…

Another shot of an upper road, black and silver coffee travel mug already in place. Again… I need a map!

Odd spectacle encountered on the north edge of Bigfeet. More raw art roughly dropped off the side of The Plateau.

Mysterious orange tinge to this area just below and east of the swamp. Better pictures soon!

Bigfeet Swamp pool and feeder stream from a terminus of the lowest forest road. I can see camping on this very spot in the future.

Stepping stones mark the remains of an old path heading up to the swamp from Leola Creek, an ascent of about 30-40 feet perhaps.
