Mystery On A Rainy Day

It was raining again. So what's new. The grizzled Park Ranger said, "You can hike today if you're determined, but I'd stay away from Hatchet Mountain in weather like this. People don't like to tell about what they see in those mists."

 We hiked closer and found a stream running 2000 ft down the near vertical slope.

 As we approached the top, a forbidding world emerged from the clouds.

Climbing into that invisible world was not as frightening as what we saw there. Branches were ripped off trees. Limbs were broken off.

 Some trees were snapped like match sticks!

Then we saw something we couldn't explain. 

 The hair on my neck stood up. We felt like we were being watched. I spun around and snapped a quick picture before a large upright creature vanished into the trees.

 You be the judge. We won't even admit that we went to "Hatchet Mountain".
