I got a string going 24 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.359 on here. Something just kid with my dog. Something killed 25 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.680 your dog? My dog. We're flying through there, over the tree. 26 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:20.079 I don't know how it did it? Okay, damn it. 27 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.640 I'm really confused. All I saw was my dog coming 28 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.519 over the fence and then would dead once you hit 29 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.560 the ground. I didn't see any cars. All I saw 30 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:45.120 was my dog coming over the fence. Mad, what are 31 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.959 you reporting? We got some wonder or something crawling around 32 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:59.560 out here? Did you see what it was? It enough 33 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.560 out here? Look him near the window now and I 34 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.959 don't see anything. I don't want to go outside. He 35 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:11.479 is point carey, Hello, hit the body out here? 36 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.719 What quent on out there? 37 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.319 I thought of a bit of about sixty nine? I 38 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.199 don't know easy, I'm out there. Yeah, I'm walking right away. 39 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.120 Oh, greetings from Alaska. 40 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.919 This to spread what I wanted to share with you 41 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.639 today comes from Tom and Jory. Their brother is separated 42 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:33.520 by about ten years. This incident occurred eighteen years ago. Now, 43 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.319 Tom reached out to me Nan had his brother Joy 44 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.199 reach out to me separately about two weeks apart. What 45 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.599 Tom shared was he was up here twenty years ago. 46 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.680 He bought himself a little super cub He had saved 47 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.680 up money. He wanted to be a bush pilot. 48 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:49.400 He wanted to. 49 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.520 Basically fly for a guide, just to see the world 50 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.919 and see Alaska. When he initially got here twenty years ago, 51 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.000 he flew for a couple of years and didn't really 52 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.479 like the other people's schedule and stuff. 53 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.319 He walked away. 54 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.639 He made substantial money, you know what I mean, But 55 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.960 it's not what he envisioned because all he was doing 56 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.800 was constantly flying and he had very little time to 57 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.759 be out in the back country. After a couple of years, 58 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.039 he walks away and he flies back down to the 59 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.599 States with his plane. The following spring, his younger brother 60 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.840 Joey was in town visiting. Basically he was taking a 61 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.199 sabbatical from his job. He brought up, Hey, how was Alaska. 62 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.639 Tom was like, you know what, how about I show 63 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.000 you two brothers. They're like, hell yeah, let's do it. 64 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:32.919 They plan it all out. They get up here and 65 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.199 when they arrive in Anchorage, they spent about a week 66 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.240 just flying around here, flying back from there, just checking 67 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.879 the area out. And they decide let's go out. They 68 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.800 rolled out a map, picked the spot off to cusca 69 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.000 Quim River, actually north of the cusc Quim River. It's 70 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.680 a little valley up there, and it's right south. 71 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.280 Of Vaughan Frank Mountain. 72 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:54.800 Now. 73 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.360 They picked that name. 74 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.000 Because they thought it sounded funny and out of place 75 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.080 for Alaska. They were like, that's the spot we want 76 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.400 to go to. They make all their provisions and everything. 77 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.280 They had to make a couple stops along the way 78 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.479 for fuel and whatnot. Because it was just a super cup. 79 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.879 He had his wing tanks, belly tank and that kind 80 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.439 of thing. With a super cup, you're limited on weight. 81 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.240 They traveled light, They brought the minimums. Of course, they 82 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:22.720 had a shotgun. Joey had a forty four magnum. Their 83 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.120 plan was we're going to land out there. We're going 84 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.040 to have a great time as brothers. It's remote Alaska. 85 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.680 It's beautiful, you know what I mean. Once they make 86 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.319 it to a spot, they find a landing area that's suitable. 87 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:35.839 They had to fly a low back and forth a 88 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.360 few times. Wind direction and checking for obstructions on the 89 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.560 ground is stuff any bush pilot would do. They find 90 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.120 their spot and they land. They set up camp right 91 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.519 there next to the plane. For two days, they just 92 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.360 went up and down the Von Frank Creek back and forth, 93 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:52.959 and then there's flat creek. 94 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.040 They were just looking around. 95 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.399 They decided, let's go up that little valley there on 96 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.480 the south side or Von Train Mountain. 97 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.000 They got their day packs. 98 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.160 They brought extra flood in case they had to spike 99 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.279 camp out there because of weather or what have you. 100 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.040 In the morning, they take off to go up this 101 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.160 little valley, this little canyon, real tight valley. From what 102 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.120 they said, the vegetation was to stay. They basically went 103 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.560 up the creek because I was the only open area 104 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:20.439 where they weren't. 105 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:20.920 Fighting the brush. 106 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.480 Because there ascending and going along, they hear a noise. 107 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.040 It was odd, he said. It sounded like a mournful 108 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.680 kind of yawn. It was very loud, very pronounced. 109 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.600 They looked at each other. Was that a bear yawning? 110 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.920 Because when Tom was up doing the flying for guiding, 111 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.560 he never heard a bear. He never heard a moose call. 112 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.360 He was too busy flying back and forth and sleeping 113 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.040 in between. They sit there amongst each other. That must 114 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.040 be a bariable minder of Pie's and Ques and we'll 115 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.480 continue on. They ascend further, they get another few hundred 116 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.839 feet in elevation, cutting back up because from their vantage point, 117 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.759 what they could see was a bowl up at the top. 118 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.800 But in actuality, once you got up there, there's a 119 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.399 valley that kicked off to the southeast. They didn't know 120 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.079 that at the time. They were flying around and stuff, 121 00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.199 but they were paying attention to a landing area and 122 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.920 not necessarily Oh, once we get up there, because they 123 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.439 initially didn't plan on going up there. They get to 124 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.000 this elevation a few hundred feet more and they hear 125 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:19.399 that yawning sound again. 126 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:20.600 It was a yawn. 127 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.839 Then at the end of that mournful yawn was a 128 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.079 high pitched squeal, and then it went dead quiet. Now, 129 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.759 the weather conditions at the time was a low ceiling. 130 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.800 They're ascending up into the clouds, basically because they could 131 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.600 not see the talk of on Frank Mountain. They look 132 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.560 at each other and Juria's I don't know what the 133 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.439 hell that was. Maybe it was some kind of owl, 134 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.959 their spitballing because they don't know. They're sitting there debating 135 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:44.720 back and forth. That was too loud for this too 136 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.079 much for that. They're like, let's just continue on. Maybe 137 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:48.680 we'll come across some new species. 138 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.439 They laughed. They're like, oh. 139 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.360 Yeah, we're the adventurers that are going to find some 140 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.920 lost species of weird bird. They were joking amongst each other, 141 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.800 trying to lighten the moot because there was something real 142 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.839 off and airy about that noise. They didn't feel any 143 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.800 initial sense of danger. They continue on up. Then they 144 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.879 reached this point where the one valley that came up, 145 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.079 a little small valley, the one that came up met 146 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.560 with that one that ran to the southeast right then 147 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.759 it continued off slightly up to their left, continuing on 148 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.839 an incline. They stopped at that point. Now, when they 149 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.560 stopped there, they decide we'll eat lunch here. 150 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.319 They boil up some water. 151 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.800 They're eating top Rahman and canned chili mac basic quick 152 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.319 meals for energy. They cooked that up, they're eating it. 153 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.920 There's a little trickle of water where they're washing stuff 154 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.720 out when they're done. Jory was over twenty five feet 155 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.000 away at this spring. He's rinsing stuff out, and he's 156 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.959 looking around and the ceiling just seems like it's coming 157 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.680 lower lower as far as the clouds. It's getting real 158 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.199 hard to see, like a dense bog. They're basically up 159 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.839 where the clouds are. He's sitting there renting the stuff out, 160 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:03.639 and Tom hurt something off towards that southeast look Kenyon 161 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:06.959 dropping back down. He hears noises like rocks clocking and 162 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.680 stuff like something moving along. He gets Joy's attention, saying, hey, 163 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.639 sounds like something large back up over here, a little 164 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.519 distance away. We're at a good distance, but something's moving 165 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.319 in the rocks. I can hear him. Jorry goes, Okay, 166 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.720 we'll pay attention or whatever. He finishes what he's doing 167 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.199 as he turns around and starts walking back towards Tom. 168 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.439 All of a sudden, further up off to where it 169 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.399 branches off to the left there, because they come up 170 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.039 and then it branches off to the left and the 171 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.360 other canyon drops back down to the right, up up 172 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:43.000 to the left, he said, the loudest, loudest air siren scream. 173 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.360 He had ever heard. It was like an air rate siren. 174 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:49.399 It started low, pretty classic sound, ramped up to a 175 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.840 very high pitched he said. As soon as that high 176 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.720 pitch ended, there was three loud whoops, real loud. It 177 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.399 reverberated all around them. They're basically up in this semi 178 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.159 bowl right up at the face of the mountain, echoed 179 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.600 around real loudly. They were like, what the hell is that? 180 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.159 What was that bigfoot? 181 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:09.600 Harry Man? 182 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.600 None of that stuff was on their mind. They knew 183 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.840 nothing about it. They had heard all the stuff over 184 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.120 the years from different shows or whatever, but they wasn't 185 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.600 even in their wheelhouse. Jory scrambles back over by Tom 186 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.240 and he's putting stuff away because we need to go. 187 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.120 Tom's not arguing. He was like, yeah, let's gather up 188 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:26.919 the stuff. Because they took one of their day packs 189 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.759 and they spread out their stuff with the stove and 190 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.360 they had a little fire going and stuff. They had 191 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:34.120 to sit there take care of their little area. They 192 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.360 didn't want to cause a wildfire or whatever. Tom said. 193 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.919 As they were doing that, Tom is the one looking 194 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.639 around again. Low ceiling. The cloud was basically touching the mountain. 195 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.360 It was down almost on top of them to where 196 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.320 they couldn't see anything very well. It was like being 197 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:55.080 in super dense bog. They're like, all right, let's get going. 198 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:59.639 As Jory's packing up to stuff, they heard the second 199 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.679 noise and he said. The second screen was identical to 200 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.480 the first, just a shorter version and only two whoops 201 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.440 that got their attention quickly. They're hearing movement over from 202 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.639 where this second noise came from. Again, the clouds are 203 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.879 stick they're looking through this dense fog. As they're looking, 204 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.679 they noticed this dark spot back up in the fog 205 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.440 where they could barely make it up, but they could 206 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.879 tell it's moving, and it's moving towards them, but parallel 207 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.000 to the mountain, but moving closer towards them. They can 208 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.720 hear the rocks and stuff from where this thing was moving. 209 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.240 They're immediately like hurry as they're donning they're packs and everything, 210 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:42.039 and they're focused on this second noise back behind them, 211 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:46.240 up a shorter little cut literally back behind them, not 212 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.320 that far off. They hear the third noise, which was 213 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.240 just a couple whoops and then a high pitched whistle sound. 214 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:55.480 He said it. 215 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.320 Almost came across between a mix between a high pitched 216 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:02.240 woman's screen in a very loud whistle. He said, it 217 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.600 was real hard to verbalize exactly. 218 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:04.639 What it was. 219 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.000 They whip around again that dense fog. They could not 220 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.440 really make out what was going on now. They feel 221 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.519 like they're surrounded right now. They just talked amongst each 222 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.519 other and said, hey, let's just hold our ground here, 223 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.639 because where they happened to be was open enough where 224 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:23.519 they can see around you. 225 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.559 They're feeling surrounded. 226 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.320 There was more of a rise behind them, but they're 227 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.840 on the open face with very little vegetation immediately around them. 228 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.799 They felt like they had enough response time for whatever 229 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.639 in the hell, but they're basically squatting down. They got 230 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.519 the packs on. Tom has a shotgun and Jory has 231 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.279 his forty four magnum and they're just sitting there quietly. 232 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:46.440 As the day progresses. They sat there, Tom said about 233 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.600 an hour and a half before they heard the next noise. 234 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:53.360 And the next noise was again from those three spots, 235 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.600 but they were just a little bit closer. I asked 236 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.799 what determined they were a little bit closer, because again 237 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.279 thick fog and all that, it was real dense. Tom 238 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.759 said that it was evidently closer because the loudness, the 239 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.759 way it reverberated, they could tell it was closer. During 240 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.559 certain points they could hear movement, especially on that side 241 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.159 where they heard the second noise. There's a lot of 242 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.759 rock movement from this thing movement across where there was 243 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.840 rocks that slept down. He said they got really freaked 244 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.919 out about the third hour because all of a sudden, 245 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.559 rocks not big ones, he said, they were about the 246 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.759 size of walnuts, and they were coming in from that 247 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.360 second noise area. These rocks are raining in, not at 248 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.879 a fast pace or anything like that, but on a 249 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.679 regular cadence. They were like, all right, let's get moving. 250 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.120 What they do is they decide, we'll just walk slowly, 251 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:51.320 we'll stay low, we'll go back down. As they start 252 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.080 to make their movement, all of a sudden, just below 253 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.159 them on their trail back down, they hear a whoop, 254 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.519 and then from the area of the first whoop, they 255 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.519 hear another one, which is a lot closer. They're really 256 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.600 feeling boxed in now. They got these rocks falling, these 257 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.919 noises a lot closer. As they were backing back up 258 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.000 to almost to their original position, they squat back down 259 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.440 and they're listening and they can hear brush movement off 260 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.120 to their left. They can hear brush movement in front 261 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.720 of them, and they can hear these rocks and stuff 262 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.519 off to their right. They got these three points and 263 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.879 they feel boxed in, and Tom said it felt like 264 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.879 a standoff. He said he felt like he was being 265 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.320 manipulated to stay where they were. He said, it was 266 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.679 the oddest feeling. I was like, you're hearing these noises. 267 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.120 That doesn't necessarily mean it's a stand off. You chose 268 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.639 that spot, and he goes, when we started moving, all 269 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.559 of a sudden, these noises were coming in. 270 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:48.480 He said. 271 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.799 It wasn't what we could hear, it's what you couldn't hear. 272 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.519 It's what you felt. He felt like they were being 273 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.960 hurded to stay in this one area. I said, Hurting 274 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.679 is one thing, but what's the standoff? Because we had 275 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.480 guns and we were standing I said, oh, okay, fair enough. 276 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:07.120 He said as they sat there, they could hear movement, 277 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.039 but they weren't seeing anything. The most say so far 278 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.799 was that dark spot in the fog bank or in 279 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:17.519 the cloud basically, and the noises of moving. But he said, 280 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.360 it's not like they were circling by any means. It 281 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.519 was just noise from there, and noise from there and 282 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:23.600 noise from over here. 283 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.679 And it was never in order. 284 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.200 Per se. It was just different noises. They would hear 285 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.639 branches and small brush cracking, over here to their left, 286 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.600 in front of them, same thing, and to the right. 287 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.720 It was always the rocks. 288 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.840 When they ascended up to that point before the cloud 289 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.440 really started coming down on them, Tom noticed that across 290 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.840 the little valley there there was a rock line before 291 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.879 it reached vegetation. Right hearing this thing moving in the rocks, 292 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:53.799 he knew it wasn't below into the tree lines. It 293 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:55.720 was always making noise on the rocks. 294 00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.679 And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see women. 295 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.039 Right after these messages. 296 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.639 He felt comfortable with where that one was or what 297 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:14.000 was over there, because it was at a safe distance. However, 298 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:17.279 these branch breaking noises and stuff up to the in 299 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.519 front of them and off to their left, those seemed 300 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:25.639 like they were getting closer and closer, just incrementally, he said. 301 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.120 At the point they decided to really make a go 302 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:34.440 was about going on four hours into just like listening 303 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:37.120 and whispering amongst each other and freaking out, what the 304 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:38.159 hell is this crap? 305 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:38.720 He said. 306 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.600 A couple of times, just before they decided to really 307 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.960 make a break, they started yelling out, hey, this ain't funny. 308 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.480 You don't play games were armed? 309 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.320 You know that whole bit He said that every time 310 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.840 they yelled out, they would hear this weird mumbling. Tom 311 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:59.120 said he had heard you pick just from flying around 312 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:01.919 in remotal Aska getting fuel and stuff. He'd hear you 313 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.480 picked now and then. And he knew nothing about the 314 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.440 dialects or anything, but he said some of the mumbling 315 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.720 resembled that it sounded different. It sounded a little weird 316 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.879 and off, but that was the closest he could associate 317 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:15.559 it with anything. 318 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:16.200 He said. 319 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:21.200 What really sparked them saying screw this, were out regardless, 320 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:26.039 was off to their left, rocks started coming in. The 321 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.240 rocks that initially were thrown were just landing near them. 322 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.559 Right when the rocks came in from the left, they 323 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.519 were hitting in the backpacks. They had their backpacks on, 324 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.320 they had the high board backs. These rocks were hitting 325 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.240 in these areas pretty hard, none directly in the head, 326 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.200 shoulder or anything, but hitting the packs. Immediately, they look 327 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.639 at each other and says, screw this, let's go. They 328 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.480 commenced to going down and then cutting back to their 329 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.960 back trail. Now on the back trail, he doesn't understand. 330 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.639 And it's not a walk in the park. There's drops 331 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:05.480 and little spots for their small falls and stuff like this. 332 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:10.279 They're literally jamming down this little tight canyon, having to 333 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.240 climb back out along the edge and drop back down 334 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.119 past these spots that have drops, and one spring melt 335 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.839 off is coming. It's basically a waterfall in that spot. 336 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.680 And they're doing all this in pretty dense fog. They 337 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.920 can't see horribly far around them. 338 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:25.839 He said. 339 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.079 Once they got down, there are ways they could hear 340 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.880 the one that was initially across from them to their 341 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.240 left coming in behind them as they're making their way down, 342 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:36.519 he said. A couple of times they had stopped, they 343 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.680 would hear rocks and clambering above them, and they couldn't 344 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:42.599 make anything out or see anything. They said, screw it, 345 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.319 turn around. They kept going now, he said. Once they 346 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.519 finally got out of there, more towards the base of 347 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:53.039 the south side there of the vonn Frank Mountain, they 348 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.319 calmed down because there hadn't been noise in a while. 349 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.200 As they were sitting there talking like, oh wow, that 350 00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:02.279 is crazy. They're looking around. They're hyper paranoid. I would 351 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:05.920 be too, but they're not hearing anything anymore. Jory's facing north, 352 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.039 Tom is in front of him, off to the left, 353 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.480 a little bit. As Jory's talking to Tom. Tom's facing south, 354 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.880 Jory's facing north. He's facing up this little valley. They're talking. 355 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.880 All of a sudden, Joy gets hit with a small 356 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.400 rock center chest. It came out of nowhere. He was 357 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.279 looking up that direction. Tom was looking at his brother. 358 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.000 This rock just hit him. When he got hit with 359 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:31.920 the rock, their eyes both got big. They turn around 360 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.920 and continued. They got back to their camp. They're socked 361 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:39.160 in at this point. They can't fly. Tom said they 362 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.799 took turns sleeping. One would climb in the cub and 363 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.160 sleep with nothing in it. The other one would be 364 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.279 outside on guard. When they did sleep, they had to 365 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.359 sit there two days. Nothing happened. Within those two days. 366 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.799 Nothing happened once they got off the mountain, however, it 367 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:54.240 was dead quiet. 368 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.839 For two days. 369 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.839 They basically took turns keep them watch. He said that 370 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.799 he hasn't been back to Alaska since he has no 371 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.759 interest in coming back to Alaska.

From what he said, he had typed 378 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.559 out an email a couple different times or whatever, and 379 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.680 never sent it and just called me. I want to 380 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.319 thank him for his time in reaching out after that 381 00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:38.839 two days being socked in.
