East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley — Thursday, Sep. 1, 2022

Just an FYI: my party of three women were up near Jade Lake sept 1 and had what we expect was an unwelcome guest at our camp. Two party members sharing a tent woke up to a fully unzipped tent fly in the morning. Both recall hearing someone unzip the tent but being sometime in the wee hours of the night and half asleep thought the other person responsible so thought nothing of it until we discussed it in the morning. We do not suspect it was an animal or a lost hiker. No one in that tent saw any lights on during the zipper incident and no other unusual sounds during that time. As far as we can tell, nothing stolen even though multiple backpacking/camping items left outside. The hike was otherwise lovely but tough, we had toyed with the idea of day hiking to tank lake from jade but after the incident, we thought might be safer to head down. Heads up to anyone solo hiking or sees any unusual activity up there this weekend. Someone without a sense of personal boundaries may be afoot…
