Found: tent, deep in the Pemi

[campsite]

We found a tent deep in the Pemi. Don't know how long it has been there. It doesn't smell good, but appears to be intact.

Could it have been there as long as a couple of years?

It belongs to "Sasquatch". He doesn't smell very good either.

This is his pet. I photographed him in VT. He gets around. I like the antlers!

How do you know he doesn't smell very good?

Can't tell how long it's been there. Still in its bag. I took it out and set it up in my backyard. Had a devil of a time peeling the fly open - it was all stuck together. At first I thought I would rip the fly while peeling it open.
Surprisingly, no animal or rodent damage. Just stained and with a heavy moldy smell. Who knows, maybe it always had a moldy smell - right Maddy?

Like so many others before me, I have seen (and smelled) him up close. AS we all know he is rather elusive and moves at great speed.

I thought the tent was set up when it was found.
He must have dropped it running thru the woods.

I can't remember the name... but this post immediately made me think of the guy who died up near South Twin (I think) in the winter a number of years ago. I know they were looking for his tent, but never found it. Might be worth calling the rangers about it?
