The weekend of April 11th, myself and a fellow researcher from the NE Sasquatch Investigative Network were out for the weekend, doing some initial recon at a location in Southern New England. The effort actually began two weeks before when three members of the Network were out conducting the recon of the area, mainly for the purpose of getting the lay of the land and checking on conditions. At the time, there was still a decent amount of snow pack on the ground. So when we arrived this time around we found as we had expected that much of the snow pack had melted and left things pretty swampy. We had to use a secondary fire pit since original one was in the middle of what was essential a moat around the lean to.

As for activity we did encounter some activity with local wildlife, but the object of our investigation didn’t seem around at the moment. We did see signs of turkey, grouse and the like, and my cohort had a critter visit during the night while he tested out his hammock. We had a few setbacks, the weekend was originally supposed to be four of us, but one had car trouble, and the other wasn’t able to arrive until the second night. While a good time was had by the three of us, the conditions were a bit preventative without waterproof foot gear. There are plans to return to the area, and I will be out this month to do more daytime scouting unless others join in as well.

Given the nature of the area this weekend, we affectionately refer to the lean to now as Moat Camp Alpha, and in nothing else, a piece of Network folklore began here.
