My son and I went on a mini expedition to Moscow mountain today. He rode his old dirt bike and I took my UTV. Neither of our girlfriends were interested in looking for Bigfoot, lol. We rode all over the mountain and checked a lot of areas for tracks. Nothing. Then we went up to the old lookout spot where there was a sighting featured on the show Finding Bigfoot. It's also reported on the BFRO sightings page: http://bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=12913 I'm familiar with this spot as I used to party there in high school. I went there today and thought it would be interesting to take pics of where the reported sighting was. Now, the sighting was 15 years prior, so a lot of what they said they could see back then is no longer possible. First photo is approaching the rock outcropping where the sighting took place. Second photo is looking directly at the area where the creature was. Third photo is my ugly mug standing right where the witnesses were with the sighting spot in the background.

Greetings. Looking forward to learning from this groop. Hope to learn more from everyone.

I would hazard a guess and say that his trolling is the cause. He seems to take an abrasive tone in every thread that he joins.

The subject will never be taken seriously until physical proof is collected. I don’t think it really matters where.

Interesting. I have heard descriptions specifically of the Almas with shoulder length hair that falls back. I will need to find a citation. perhaps like humans it is just very variable by region, or perhaps genetics between these animals are also very diverse, much like humans? There are some humans that can barely grow a few inches of hair because the life of each follicle is only about 45 days, on the other end are those people that have follicle lifespans of decades or more. As far as I know people on those ends of the spectrum are quite rare. Most of humanity have head hair follicle lifespans of 2-7 years, producing hair that can protrude past the ears or atleast below the shoulders. Perhaps it is this way in Sasquatches to varying degrees? Thanks for the welcome by the way, I have not been very active.

Just got back from 6 days of exploring a small portion of the Six Rivers National Forest and the Siskiyou Wilderness in Northern California. Spent 2 nights car camping in the SRNF and 3 nights backpacking into the wilderness. The best part of the trip was the backpacking part, since I went deeper into the wilderness and I saw plenty of wildlife. Below are some pictures of the wilderness area and the lake where I camped the first night. Also showing a picture of my thermal imager setup. This was the first time that I backpacked with a large lithium battery (the Jackery 240 Wh portable power bank). I had backpacked before with my full size tripod, since the image quality is better when stable. I wanted to test the ability to run the thermal imager and video record all night (8 hours) for 3 nights (without having to monitor and replace the 4 AA lithium batteries every 7 to 8 hours). First night, I heard noises coming from the brush, got out of the tent ~9:38 PM, started recording on the thermal, and saw the buck in the photo. The unit recorded as the buck came out of the bush and walked in front of thermal imager. The time stamp and date on this FLIR unit is not correct and cannot be fixed (apparently the battery that runs the clock is internal to the unit and cannot be replaced unless I ship the unit to manufacturer; this is a design flaw). The 2nd FLIR photo was the 2nd night and occurred down 600 ft in the valley. Again, I left the unit running all night for 8 hours and it captured this bear walking towards the creek. While the photo is not clear (because the bear is far), the video shows its bear shape and motions more clearly. BTW, the buck moved on to the other side of the lake and disturbed the only other backpacker there from 1 to 4 AM. I saw the guy in the morning and he was so scared that he did not sleep and started a fire. He never saw what was making all the noises and stumping the ground. I told him it was the buck, since it did the same in my campground earlier that night. Not sure what was the problem with this buck, but I also captured a doe in the imager that came later, so maybe the buck wanted to clear the area? I was happy to have a thermal imager and see what was making the noises.

Yesterday, I went on a hiking adventure rather than a sasquatching one. I hiked with a buddy and we went up and over three mountains on a peninsula. The interior forest was a bit hazy as we started up the first one. Then, as you proceed from the first mountain to the second one to the third, you walk some of the way along a ridgeline, where you are treated to a view of both sides. The area is well known for its population of timber rattlers and if bitten there is no fast or easy way back to your car. That doesn't bode well. I've been hiking and backpacking many years and this hike was the most difficult one I've ever done. That includes Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Desolation Valley, and the Grand Canyon. Steep climbs, then sliding down nearly-vertical terrain on your backside as you proceed down the mountain. The descents, with their rock ledges and narrow pathways, were more rigorous than the ascents. One missed step, which becomes easier when you begin to get tired, and you're tumbling down nearly vertical cliffs in some areas. All-in-all it was a great day hiking and the continuous views along the way inspired us to continue forward. Edited: To add the last picture. At the summit of the first mountain there was a deer. Didn't expect that. The reason I am including it is to show why "blobsquatches" are prevalent in pictures today. I had to hurry to get a picture of the deer as it began to move away. The camera focused on the vegetation rather than the deer.

The answer here is simple. Paulides does believe it’s Bigfoot responsible for those cases. He won’t say that because he doesn’t know what Bigfoot is exactly and none of us do. That’s why he won’t just attribute it to one thing. He’s avoiding the “what is Bigfoot conversation” which his leaning towards the paranormal side of things.

The subject will never be taken seriously until you stop spreading this nonsense. No there are not any great apes in the eastern US.
