big foot on gunung benom?

I was involved in the wildlife inventory in the Krau Wildlife Reserve somewhere in late 1990s if I am not mistaken. As usual we were divided into small groups comprising between 4-5 people in a group. Our group was made up of yours truly, zaaba, Din stone, engku from trengganu (who always pretend to carry a machine gun and going after the predator like Arnold Schwezeneger) and a ranger from Lembah Klau (forgot his name). We started trekking from the last PPRT in Lembah Klau. It was climbing all the way up as soon as we left the rubber plantation in Lembah Klau. The trail was not clear and we basically depend on the topo map and GPS (early Magellan model) and our guide who had been to Gunung Benom several times. Since not many people climb the mountain (except survey dept staff and wildlife dept staff), the trail was not regularly maintained except during a climb. So we basically cleared the trail on our way up to the mountain. After several hours of climbing, we finally reached the ridge. The view from the top was superb. You can see Lembah Klau and the surrounding areas clearly. I supposed you can only appreciate the scenery once you are on the ridge. One thing about climbing Gunung Benom is that there is no water source at the top. You have to bring water supply with you. So each of us brought 4 litter of freshwater with us. The last point to get water was a couple of hours before reaching the ridge. Sometimes you can hear water rushing but could not find the source. We later found out that the river flows underground and only surfaced at several locations along the way. So, if you are planning to climb Gunung Benom, don't be fooled by the sound of rushing water as it could be flowing underground. Get your water supply from the last designated point or you'll run out of water once you're on the ridge (unless you don't mind taking water from small pool with frog eggs). The ridge is always misty most of the time especially after 11 am. Wind will blow the clouds to the ridge hiding the trails from time to time , just like Mt Kinabalu. The plant are mostly twisted and hardy as an adaption to the windy environment on the ridge. The ground is mostly covered with leaf litter, not much soil. The ground on the ridge however is mostly covered with moss, appearing green all the way. The ground is soft and moist and you will definitely leave your footprint when you walk. An existing trail, regularly used by wildlife can be seen on the ridge. The trail has turned into a shallow drain due to the continuous use by wildlife. This is common especially on ridges elsewhere like Gunung Bintang Hijau in Perak. We followed the trail as we do not want to create new trail on the green carpet. This would make the place full of foot steps and they will be there for quite some time until the green moss started growing over it. We also pitched our tent on the trail. In those days, we traveled light. We use flysheetor ponco as tent as it is more convenient and lightweight. Night and early morning was extremely cold especially after a spell of rain. 10 AM seems like 6:30 AM and it's very difficult (lazy actually) to start the day. You basically have to force yourself to get up and start the day. It seems that everyone prefers to stay inside the comfort and warmth of their sleeping bags. The story about bigfoot in Gunung Benom started when our group found a set of footprints on the ridge where we spend the night. The footprints looked like they belong to human but the size is bigger than the average human footprints. And there's only the left footprints all over the place, no right leg footprints. So we told the rest of the inventory group of our encounter with the footprints and that's how the teory of bigfoot in Gunung Benom surfaced. Luckily, nobody was asked to go up the mountain again to investigate the story. We checked with the Orang Asli community living around the mountain and found that they seldom go up the mountain as they are afraid of the spirit living up there. So, who made the footprints that we found on the ridge? We checked the footprint size with everyone in the group and found no match. Why was there only the left footprints? It's very difficult to climb up the mountain with one leg. Until we get the answer, the report of bigfoot in Gunung Benom remains a mystery.............
