It was fall. About 9 at night. Just getting dark. A friend and I were camping on Mica Peak in Spokane County WA. We decided to go for a quick hike just before dark.

That night after sitting by the fire talking and playing guitars we went to bed. While laying in the tent just about asleep, from back up near the logging road we had hiked, we heard screaching. The only thing comparable I've ever heard were chimpanzees on tv. There were 5 or 6 screaching sounds in about 10 minutes and that was it. We laid in the tent holding our pistols most of the night, but didn't hear anything else.
