Some of the most memorable journeys taken are the roads less traveled. Our journey would take us deep in the El Dorado Forest in the Carson Pass. I have always been a sucker for visiting lakes that you cannot drive to but require you to back pack in. Sometimes I go out I find many paranormal things other times the expeditions we plan are to give you guys a great adventure even if did not see a Sasquatch.
 
Our journeys over the past weekend took me into the heart of the sierras where we would be tested. You have to love spending so much time in the wilderness the bug bites, cuts, bruises, fatigue, sprains and mud.  I could tell the public that their is no easy way of looking for cryptids sometimes they even happen to find you. Every expedition for us is a risk all the way from wild animals to pushing our bodies to the limits.
 
Spending time at Devil's and Shaelor lakes really makes you understand how small you are compared to the rugged scenery that awaits. People never really understand all the hardships we face as paranormal investigators. I have broken down, gotten stuck, flat tires and even dealt with some very insane people in my years. When I am out there in a meadow chasing butterflies or imitating a Sasquatch for me it feels like a second home.
 
Devil's Lake perhaps may be called this because it is hell to get to besides the fact that its one of the only lakes in the sierras that has leeches in it. It resides up in a region of Cole Creek and Bear Lake Reservoir. This is an area that is no stranger to Sasquatch so the excitement of journeying even deeper into this wilderness then ever before really excited me. I generally get so excited to go that I generally stay up all night packing the backpacks and gear. In addition these trips take allot of food and drinks for us to maintain our energy level.
 
Little did I know when I went off in the sierras the amount of adversity our team would face. My team is my family because honestly I know I can trust them and they will not leave me to die alone. It is pretty sad after living here a few years I still do not have a full team of UFOlogist, Crytpozoologist and Parapsychologist to work with. In a way so many are missing out on some of the most major paranormal experiences in all the years of doing this. Since I been out west now I have found that I can enjoy what nature offers but the paranormal is very abundant even in seclusion if you know what to look for.
 
There never is enough time or funding for me to do everything I want to know that includes some pretty deep paranormal projects that defy human comprehension. With that in mind the first half hour I spent it offroading over boulders, rocks and washed out roads. It appeared that this road I was taking to the Devils Lake trail head was not very well used. I could see that their were no fresh tire tracks in weeks up here as it took me up this steep rocky road over this forested mountain.
 
The truth is that when you offroad for 10 miles you have no room for mistakes you hit a sharp rock your going to be stranded as in the case when I had two flats. I had to really concentrate to get us up to the overgrown lake trail. I took three forested dirt rocky roads all of them are labeled with numbers and letters. There were areas I could have bottomed out the truck or became struck on some rocks so four wheel drive here is absolutely necessary. When we arrived their was a weathered wood sign that says Devils Lake trail head and our adventure would start truly here. 

Devils Lake

The creek back here rain right through the trail but more amazingly is how thick the foliage is back here. Every region of the sierras offers something different and I knew this one was a harsh wilderness especially since not to far from here I came home last year with a hundred abrasions. Although the trail is muddy it does eventually start to climb over one of the nearby peaks. Its extremely steep in some parts but eventually their is this massive flat plateau which overlooks miles away Bear Lake which really put into perspective how high we were in these mountains.
 
The trail is about a mile and a half prior to reaching the lake perhaps what takes awhile is that their is a very quick elevation gain which tops off with great views of Devil's Lake from the top of this ridge. One of my favorite things about this trail was the abundance of wild flowers which I am doing this year allot of professional photography of them. But also that their is so many different types of butterflies. At times we had dozens flying around us while other ones would be resting on some wild flowers. It is very important for me to log the nature around us as when we add these places to our site we want to keep everything very real so that all of you can feel connected to these locations.
 
I was a bit impressed with the size of the lake but more so it looked very marshy and overgrown along the shoreline. When I did reach the shoreline I went out into some of the more marshier areas to look for tracks. I found a few impressions but no solid tracks however their was an area of soft foliage that was made into bedding. It looked like something very large may have been laying in the brush right along the lakes short.
 
We would follow the lake where we encountered massive downed trees which we had to crawl underneath. More or less you could say the trail is very primitive and very overgrown as you get closer to the water. At times the brush was so thick the trail would turn into a single file path. We would go as far back into the Bush as we could before the downed trees and foliage were to thick to penetrate which only gave us access to half of the lake.
 
We did find this one rock in the shade on the lakes shore that we had lunch at. As fun as it is to visit these lakes its also nice to sometimes take a time out and relax. You never know sitting quietly at the lake shore might reveal a Bigfoot sighting. Just being here was quite a feat considering the fact that I have been wanting to check out this place for awhile.

Not to far from here I found an unusual track in soft mud that was deep had no tread marks and possible some toe impressions. The region is rather muddy as season creeks run out from the lake and very shady from the trees that blanket the lake shore.
 
Prior to reach the lake and hiking along did reveal one thing that is for certain. That is the fact that thousands of dragon flies swarm its shores just as with the butterflies. I must had seen about five different types of dragonflies back here. Which also shows that their is allot of substantial life here besides an occasional deer track. We had this entire region to ourselves while some people like to just park and enjoy Bear Lake I have found some very primitive places beyond it.
 
Perhaps the most disturbing find here was that I dug up a baby diaper out here as at first I see something protruding out of the earth. Not saying people do not have carriers for their children while hiking so its possible but I still have to document these sort of things just in case for law enforcement. We never hope to ever find the unthinkable its just that their are ass clowns in our world and this one more or less littered.
 
I wish people had more regard for nature this kind of stuff is what pushes Bigfoot further into the sierras. Although I did not find a ton of evidence I could say that I made an attempt to explore the lush forest and had a hard time doing so. Their is allot of places back here to hide so much plant life, fallen trees etc its very offbeat.
 
Hiking back to the truck was a cinch despite the fact we had to hike out of this valley to the top of the ridge and back down to the truck we were refreshed. I would need every ounce of focus for riding off the mountain. The road is all down hill but tons of rocks and you definitely do not want to be stuck back here. However I would have a break down thankfully on the Carson Pass which would alter the Shaelor Lakes expedition.
