      If you are interested in observing Bigfoot there are some basic do's and don'ts that should be discussed. Now you have to decide how long of a forest hike that you're going to take, and will it be one, day three days camping out, or a month. Now if your goal is to observe a bigfoot, one of the important preparations is to read Bigfoot reports that are listed in the website called Bigfoot Research Organization or BFRO. Then another preparation you have to look at aerial photographs of potential forest to visit and find areas where there is dense tree and shrub cover and not a lot of open spaces since Bigfoot wants to remain elusive and only to be seen when it so desires for this to happen. I'd like to hear from others and to understand their opinions In a method of making an acquaintance with a Bigfoot. Making a play book might be important for those adventurers who would like to study and communicate with Sasquatch.

      Well I spoke with the witness named Ray, and he said that when they were walking down the trail they first saw a stick structure that was disguised in the bushes, and it was big enough to hold a couple people . He said they looked inside this stick structure, and there was a tunnel in the floor but they didn't explore it because they were getting freaked out. They came out of the stick structure and Ray noticed some movement from behind a tree . They watched the tree and discovered a large hairy creature that was staring at them.   This really freaked them out and Ray said they'd better get up the trail and head back to the car which is a 4 mile hike . He said they started walking back along the trail went along a steep hillside with tall Douglas fir trees on each side They looked back again and noticed the Bigfoot was following them . He said when he and his friend saw this creature tracking them, they began to run and ran about two miles up this trail back to the truck. As they ran, they kept looking back in a state of panic .   As I said before, this happened when Ray was about 17 and he's now 50 years old, and he still remembers details about the traumatic incident. I asked him if he could find the area again and he said there are so many canyons in this general vicinity that he can't remember which one it was . I get the feeling that he really doesn't want to return to this area since when he was 17 it was a horror story. I still wonder if the Bigfoot was an outcast from the clan or was it a single young Bigfoot out on its own? Are there any questions that you want to ask Ray?

      That is an huge revelation to me as well. They were all, surely, tough as nails to begin with.. just as surely as the trip to the mine and cabin were hard work, the work in the mine was even harder work. The walk to the water was tough and at night? Tough as nails or not, forget it. Whatever happened there, they weren't going anywhere in the dark either way.

      1) While it's partially out now, I wouldn't use a witnesses real name in an open forum like this. GOOD POINT AND RAY MAY NOT BE HIS REAL FIRST NAME   2) Was there a typo? You say "Joe Dokes" is 50 yo now, but this incident occurred 17 years ago when he was in high school.  SORRY FOR THE TYPO SINCE THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED 32 YEARS AGO.   3) Given that this appears to have appeared in a remote area, can you and the witness put the start point and approximate cave location on a map program and screen shot it? AT THIS TIME THE LOCATION SHOULD NOT BE DIVULGED SINCE HAVING BIGFOOTERS GOING TO THE LOCATION MAY CAUSE A HERMIT TYPE BIGFOOT TO LEAVE THE AREA AND CAVE.   4) Would "Joe Dokes" be willing to put you (as an investigator) in contact with witness #2 (John or Jane Doe) so you can get a second version of the incident? DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR COMMENT   5) For the purpose of someone putting it into the SSR or another database, facts are paramount.  We have the who and what.     When - to the extent possible, date and time, which would give seasonal information. I WILL TALK WITH THE WITNESS     Where - even a 4-digit grid would allow researchers to see if it relates to other encounters and look at environmental factors (altitude, slope face, etc.) DON'T WANT TO DIVULGE THE LOCATION AT THIS TIME     Why - what facts might allow inferences about why the Bigfoot acted that way?  NO WAY TO KNOW BUT WILL TRY What did the witness(es) observe about the cave? I WILL TALK WITH THE WITNESS    I'm sure that others will have questions as well. WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THE,
