Is Dennis Hall still on the missing list? I visited his website and he definitely thought he had some pattern behavior down on this thing... Who's in?

Who’s in?

Imaging a mature tree with its long arcing branches and trunk along the lake's edge, being washed away root wad and all in a storm. Most trees float but trees with big root wads encompassing a lot of rocks and dirt, drift downward and there they sit as they decay. A rootwad and it's roots have relatively high surface to volume ratios, exposing a lot of itself to the agents of decay, just like the branches from above the soil. When enough roots and other entanglements fall away, the tree's trunk, still adequately buoyant, rises to the surface. Sometimes it's built up enough momentum to breach the surface with a considerable display of energy; erupting amid spray and noise, falling and rebounding until, its energy spent, it floats away innocuously, and in no way looking any different from any other floating old log, a not uncommon sight.

Is this a common feature in Champ sightings? I wonder what excactly was being heard and how the creature could have been making such a noise.
