Counterfeiter's Den
 
Big Bend really wore me out I took a short nap then Denny showed up only we got a late start cause Liz and everybody was out at the mall so this really hurt the investigation cause the den is really not a safe place so it should be done during the day only. Its one of these places that is very risky cause you can get into the Den with careful climbing but if its not done right the fall could be deadly.
 
Well we got out there to late and it was already getting dark. We started our hike on off into the woods there was no trail it was a straight shot threw a lot of thorn bushes. We crossed the tracks and went into some more thick woods eventually coming right on up onto the edge of a  giant cliff.
 
Denny climbed down some slopes further away and was at the bottom of the cliff he found a small cave I told him Ill be down to get some photos. Jim and I were on top trying to find out where you climb on in. I found some areas near crevices which looked like possibilities maybe they were maybe not but I wanted to get inside the den. Its possible that it all connects inside somehow.
 
We had to be careful here as the rocks along the cliff were covered with leaves which can be slippery and getting to close to the edge meant death plain and simple it was a long ways down with rocks below.
 
It got dark Jim was on the phone chatting with a geocache buddy for about 18 minutes and we did not find it. I went off on my own climbed a slope and walked along the edge of the cliff. I actually found a small little rock den I took photos in. Maybe this was it maybe not but this was a fairly hidden area I found on my own along a path way and then climbed up into it. 
 
This area intrigued me lots of history to the den about a shoot out and counterfeiter plates hidden in the area etc. At this point Denny and Jim were right above me on the cliff. Denny got scared of something at the bottom of the cliff moving out in the woods and wanted to go back to the car. Jim was freaking out cause his batteries in the gps were almost out which to me was silly cause I carried plenty of batteries to keep his GPS running all night long but again nobody listens to me. Their lights were out I had 3 other lights on me so light was not a problem but again nobody listens to me and my investigation was cut short. I was not very happy because if people do not follow my leadership then its pointless to make trips out here I mean that is what it boils down to. I came to do this place and I really did not get to in a way. 
 
Denny seen a couple white lights moving through the woods I did not see them and I have to agree something was moving out in those woods down at the bottom of the cliff. I did ask Denny to meet me down where I was at and then follow me do the bottom cause I wanted some photos of the crevices, small caves, and other areas at the bottom of the cliffs for the site.
 
Well Denny threw a beer bottle and it almost hit me and I was not in a safe spot actually I was about halfway between the ground and the cliff. The guys would not wait for me on top while I took some photos at the bottom they kept demanding we go then they stated they would go to the car without me it really took my heart out of wanting to come back to this area. There voices got very faint and they did started to head away maybe they did not go very far as Jim claimed they did not but I felt it was not right. 

 As a leader I would never abandoned my investigators but to be abandoned by them really to me showed me the lack of faith others have in me and so that was that. I felt rushed trying to climb back up a cliff and it was not a good feeling cause with almost 700 investigations they all require patience you cannot just walk in a place and say we are done. Sometimes you have to sit down listen, walk around, explore all the nooks, crannies etc you will not find no counterfeiter plates rushing an adventure.
 
I turned around to try and catch up to them hoping I could talk common sense into them in letting me stay a little longer well I was so mad that I lost foot slid down a steep slope and small edge totaling over 8 feet. It was like a water slide and I was sliding so fast I seen the edge and went right over and fell. I did not get one single injury from my fall but my equipment was all over the place scattered and I was in the dark picking it all up and putting it back in the dark cause I lost my flashlight in the process.
 
After this I was forced to climb up the steep slope nobody held a light so I could see what I was doing and nobody cared at this point I was pretty mad and if Denny was not my friend Id knocked him for a loop believe me. They hiked separately and I went around the thorn bushes. I walked through brush so fast and hard I was physically breaking tree limbs with my body.  But because of me venting so much out in the woods I ended up coming out on a unmarked grassy road pretty far away from Denny and Jim.
 
Something was following me up the road and it was closing in on me you could hear it 500 feet, 400 feet, 300 feet etc. I went to take a break tied my shoe and somehow I lost my LED non battery flashlight it really pissed me off cause it has a lot of nice features on it. I thought the train  tracks were above on this hill so I climbed it ended up in some field with machinery. I also climbed up here cause something was moving in on me and it was a steep climb but I figured I could lose it here.  I could not see the guys lights or hear there voices hell they didn't even call for me and I was not going to shout cause I did not want what was following me to pinpoint my location.

Eventually I got Jim on his phone and they honked the horn turned on the car lights. I still could not see much of anything but I had a good idea where I was at. 
 
I ended up doing an estimation of where the car was and like crazy I started hiking through thick woods and came right out onto the railroad tracks. I walked the tracks with no lights on and cut across some woods which took me right in front of the car. My adventure became well worthwhile cause I got alot more then I bargained for here however GPS's etc really take the fun out of things your not having fun in the woods unless you get lost on occasion that is how you find bigfoot prints and get good sightings. 
 
I was very lucky to come out of this investigation unharmed but my investigators broke a lot of protocols and because people think they are my friends they think rules do not apply here. That is why we have a small team cause I like to keep it simple.  Denny says it must be nice I do not have to work but what others do not understand is that the paranormal is my job and I take it seriously and when people do not follow directions that is when people die, get hurt, get lost, and investigations turn into failures. If I had perhaps another a few minutes I could have turned out a few more good ghostly photos.

People in general do not make sense to me they go into the woods looking for bigfoot but as soon as they here one noise they want to run back to the car. Being a paranormal investigator means you investigate the noise you hear if you run from it your in the wrong business that is what it comes down to.
 
We got home Denny left not a thank you for coming out to PA not even have a safe trip. That night I wanted to do the Potters Field and State Hospital Jill did not pick up her phone she was having problems with Verizon so she did not get the messages and Jim hurt his back so he was done for the night. I was pretty upset and just took on off for the night to Oakland Cemetery by myself.
 
Right before I left to the cemetery Cher took me to the store and I bought cube steak, gravy, potatoes, and root beer. Cher cooked it all up and we had a nice meal I wish her and I got more time to talk when I was their but honestly I was just so tired all week long from investigating that it was hard for me to do much of anything but keep pushing on each day for adventures. But it was a nice meal considering it was our last meal that night before I had to head on home. I wish I could have done more for them but I am a poor ghostbuster lmao and I maybe sometime they will come visit me and I can feed them, show them around etc.
