Trackways Western Sierras

New Logo

This is the new logo that I created. It is simple but has meaning to it. The "S's" create the ball of foot as well as the heel designed in a tribal fashion. The toe's have unique characteristics from the 10 inch that I call "Stix", because I seem to find sticks where ever this one may show up. I drew this free hand using my memory as well as castings to help guide me to duplicate this particular individual. I have cast over 130 of this group from all over the Sierras. Some people think it is random folks that just happen to be walking barefoot in areas of prediction. Taking this path you must do an exhaustive application putting these specific ones into these areas at these specific times walking through some rough terrain. So am I following a group of people that just happen to like to walk in rough terrain within these small time frames year after year? Or am I following a group of unidentified individuals throughout the Sierra's? I can tell you that without reservation I have never seen anyone in the high country walking around barefoot nor have I found barefoot track's at the beginning of the trailhead. It is always the same "They come from the forest walk around a body of water and head back into the forest". This is not normal human behavior but does not exclude human activity. I think what is most important here is that it is from "THE SAME GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS". It must be noted that no one knows where I am going including myself. I may choose an area of opportunity but may change the site due to changes in terrain or other variables. This must be contemplated fully to get a better understanding of what I am dealing with.

crossing through the West Sierras

One treat I have always enjoyed when crossing through the sierras, is the contrast of vegetation and terrain as well as wildlife from one side to the other. At this time of the season there are areas with greater warmth as well as available food sources within a short distance (by their abilities) across the sierras. I am heading to an area of previous activity and will be recording any further events in this area. Stay tuned for more good stuff.

Coming through the Sierras

I am coming over the Sierras and come into some snow at about 7,000ft. I need to check an area of previous activity to see if there is a pattern here. The only way I will know for certain is to go and check this area. Those videos will follow.

Coming through the Sierras

I am coming through the Sierras heading to another area of opportunity.

Deer Kill

I am heading home when I come upon this deer kill. I have learned since I recorded this that the spine is intact. The nose has been bitten off which would lean me more towards a big cat kill. I have found large amout of cat scat in this area.
