LCB! You are as honest as the day is long! Anyone who can read can see that. So there's no need to prove it. Besides, for the People With Agendas, nothing you do will ever be beyond reproach. People With Agendas are not looking for the truth; they're looking for the opposite. And you know what they say: What you seek is what you'll find. If you're hunting for perfidy, every rock you turn over will yield it up to you. Not because it's actually there, but because your eyeballs force everything into that shape. That's the only thing you can see, because you've already decided that that's the only thing there. I love your picture. I see what you see in it. It's fabulous. And I agree with Lightheart: It's the journey, not the destination...... Your journey rocks! Thanks for sharing it with us!

From the fairy reports I've read, I'm able to discern they're all truthful, and that science and disbelievers are hindering the identification of the species. Any logical thinking person would arrive at the same conclusion I have, especially if they've read reports like the wind, as I've done.

Hi Fellows. Thanks for the thread. A lot of good points brought up. I just wanted to add a couple more cents. 1) Fred Beck's narrative with his son Ron, along with a couple of other sources, noted that the Venderwhite Mine (the a/c mine) was in the Mt. St. Helens Mining District. It actually wasn't. The south boundary of that district is quite a distance to the North. The librarian at the State Geology library in Olympia helped me out a lot on this, although she didn't have a record of the Venderwhite itself. The Venderwhite Mine is in an area that has no mining district. Thereby, records and indexing are more spotty. being held in Skamania County with no section-township-range index. You have to know the mine name or who filed it. Nontheless, the only other mine, possibly nearby that I could find a record of was filed by Marion Smith at an undisclosed location. All the other mines were to the North, around Spirit Lake, mainly commercial quartz operations. 2) The whole Boy Scout theory that Gifford Pinchot puts out is kind of an amalgamation of 2 or 3 pieces of history. For a while the forest service was putting out that the Indians perpetuated the attack. I think that became too un-PC. So they laid it at the feet of the Boy Scouts. When the rangers or hand out tells you that it was the Boy Scouts, I think that they are trying to say the YMCA boys camp at Spirit Lake, about 7 miles to the North of AC. This is a point that confuses a lot of people in that Harry Reese, a long-time forest worker from Cougar, ran a Boy Scout troupe in the 1950's. Harry, knowing a ton of cave locations on the mountain. took the guys caving a lot. The troupe named itself the St. Helens Apes, after the A/C incident 25-30 years before. The Boy Scout troupe gave the name to Ape Cave, but of course, not Ape Canyon. The claim that the "Y Boys", the YMCA campers staged the attack came out about 9 or 10 days after the incident. Yes. the Y Boys were at Pummice Butte. However, the evidence against the claim is an article published in the Oregonian 2 days after the attack, stating that the Y Boys were all back in camp at Spirit Lake on Thursday night when the miners were bombarded. The Y Boys were at Pummice Butte and may have met the miners, but they were not there Thursday night. 3) My regrets, but neither of the two photos in post #28 are Ape Canyon. One was attached to the story by Ape Vidal from 1966, but is not the AC cabin. The other photo is the screen capture from the Sasquatch Movie reenactment, which actually stuck with me since I first saw it when I was seven or eight years old. I was able to interview Bob Gimlin last November as I had heard that he and Patterson had visited the cabin. He said that he had in 1963 or 1964 and that the cabin was sort of falling in an itself and decomposing. The cabin and mine is near the timberline, so it gets tons of snow every year and the weight just slowly crushed the cabin. Anyway, I guess that this is more than 2 cents worth. Sorry. Thanks again for the topic! marc

There would be fewer skeptics if there was better evidence.

That Volcano that just erupted in Japan seemed to catch the scientists by surprise. Supposedly it is very well instrumented too. Just when science thinks it has a handle on stuff, nature lets them know who is in charge. There is an upcoming talk on the finding of the Cabin in the Portland Hopsquatch calendar coming up. I know it is one of the coming events but I cannot remember what month. Anyone near Portland Oregon should check it out. When they post the date I will let you know here. Every spring I spend a lot of time on that Lahar. If a BF got caught and buried in the ash fall from the 1980 eruption, the bones might just wash out some spring. Every spring the runoff cuts more and more into the ash. I figure that is probably the most likely place on the planet to find BF bones. The trick is to get in, grab the bones, and get out before some ranger catches you. The temperatures on the North Side in the blast zone were high enough to burn bone. Unlikely anything would turn up in the blast zone and you would surely get caught off trail there.

The thousands of reports I've read are all true. I know this from the thousands of reports of which I've read.

They are true, because I've determined they are all speaking of the same true evidence that science refuses to accept. If one knew true evidence, then science would not refuse to believe the true evidence that I've read in the thousands of reports of which I've read. It's simple, really, and anyone having read thousands of reports would know this was truly true. Any other conclusions would simply not be true, as reading thousands of reports would lead to the conclusion. It's simple, really.

Yes, The bigfoot hanging around my inner city dumpster communicate with me thru nice thoughts. They are extraordinary creatures, I know from the nice thoughts they exude. I know they're all about my inner city digs because they accept the gifts I offer them. I can't and won't actually see them accept these gifts because that would be just rude if I tried. I don't like the wolf-faced creatures, because they make noises I can't identify on my digital recorder constantly. I prefer the regular, not type-III bigfoot because they regularly accept my gift offerings. I never see them, and wouldn't ever consider being mean and filming them. Still, they leave me with calm, wonderful thoughts of First Person interaction, because, well, just because. It's so great. Don't even think of questioning my experiences, because that would be, just mean. Don't be a meaney, but do believe everything I tell you. Because they are such wonderful creatures.

Mt St Helens is the most heavily instrumented Volcano in the world. Just about 2 weeks ago they set off a series of explosions around the mountain to do deep seismology to get a better idea of what is going on in the magma chamber. Magma is filling the magma chamber again. They claim to have a good handle on the harmonic tremors that preceeded the 1980 eruption but they were caught off guard then. The main issue forecasting an eruption is bulging so if that starts, get out of the area. I have a neighbor that worked in the Vancouver USGS volcano center. If the eruption had happened an hour later he would have been on Johnsons Ridge and it would be named after him. He was driving there to replace Johnson when the mountain blew. I live 23 miles away from the South Flank. Because of the 1980 eruption any subsequent ones would probably sent blast debris to the North. Where all the tourists are is the dangerous side. But with the normal Westerly winds at altitude, significant ash fall is normally heading East. When I put in my sprinkler system the area was formerly forest but the ground pretty much undisturbed below the surface away from the house. At about 12 inches below the existing surface there was a 2 inch layer of gray ash. Sometime in the past, South of the mountain, had gotten a significant ash fall. Right now the most dangerous place in the country with respect to volcanism is Yellowstone. It is bulging at a fast rate. Several asphalt roads recently melted and were closed. Previously quiet lakes are now boiling. For anyone that does not know it is a super volcano and when it erupts it makes Mt St Helens look very small. The reason there are no cone shaped mountains there is because the eruptions are so violent they blow everything away. Again that canyon topography diagram above is just the where the creek runs and only a small part of the total Ape Canyon area. Most people do not even venture off the loop trail that runs through there. BF in the area would just be looking down and watching the humans on the trail for entertainment. The ridge that diverted the lahar looks like prime BF habitat to me. It extends forested area and suitable cover well to the West up on the mountain. It is one of those quiet places where you might expect BF to be watching you. The place has my hair standing on end very often.
