Madison, I wish I lived near you. I’d walk your dog for free, and pack you and your companions several lunches and snacks to take like fresh banana bread. What I’m really saying is I support your efforts to lead a productive life (work, family, squatching) while dealing with cancer treatments, that are well known to sap your energy. All the best to ya’!

Don't know if anyone local is checking it out. It came from a friend, who is a counselor, and the client was okay with passing on the story, but nothing else (aka contact info) because of confidentiality issues. I'm a single mom working a part time job with a disabled, mentally ill teenager, multiple animals to care for, a 21 year old truck, who just had a double mastectomy surgery 3 weeks ago for cancer on August 28th, and I'm looking at chemotherapy and/or radiation in the coming weeks. And it wouldn't be a three hour drive. It would be a six hour drive there and back total, and however long we stayed there, plus food and gas and miscellaneous, like paying my neighbor to walk the dog three times at $5 each time. I do my best. There's some obstacles to overcome. I just happen to be lucky enough to live in the middle of Bigfoot Central and get to drive an hour and find things. It's kinda awesome. I wish that I could.

Did an overnight backpack into one of my favorite general areas. There are lots of ponds and we passed several along the way. Went farther into the inner ponds than ever before, so it was new territory for me. The trek in was slow going until we hit a cedar swamp which became impassable, try as we might. Went about halfway along the right edge of the cedar swamp and the sun was getting low so backtracked and set up camp near a small beaver pond. It got bitterly cold last night. No tracks found nor sasquatch sounds but the sky above was twinkling with more stars than I thought possible and barred owls were hooting and screeching all night long. Going to make it a point to go back there and get to the destination pond. We'll be sure to steer clear of the cedar swamps near our target pond.

I just got tired reading all of that

Well, yesterday the air quality in Salem Oregon went from 375 to 417, which is very hazardous to 24, which is very good, no pollution issues at all! amazing what an on shore flow can do in 24 hrs.

Madison, you're doing a phenomenal job. How you do all the things you do is amazing including being a fantastic mom. All of us would be there to help you if we could. Keep the faith.

My name is Jake and I once thought bigfoot was just another fairy tale. However, after reading 100's of accounts on BFRO I realized there may be something to it, esp. considering how many of the witnesses were highly skeptical before their own, very clear sighting.

Sorry to hear you may need further treatment, but sending wishes for good health. The elder seems like a delicate situation and after thought, I question the value of possibly disturbing its routine for no good reason. I'm sure you know ethical folks who would be caring in their approach, if any. Take care and glad you're doing well.

Yeah, I meant a map just for you. I logged our info and it gave me some interesting things to consider, like travel corridors.

I was conducting some research with this forums SSR database yesterday. My hunch was correct: ALL the winter reports (Dec-March) in the Sierra Nevada range are west of the range in the foothills. I also noticed a winter hot zone along Hwy 108 through Sonora Pass near Pinecrest and Cold Springs. A series of reports in 1963 was aggressively investigated by the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Department. The reports can be read on the BFRO site.

Yep! Still have mine hanging in the closet. Wish I still fit in it, though...

Yes.

Maybe, but the rumors did not spring up out of thin air. They actually came from a Clackamas sheriff deputy as well as an officer manager. Lets be honest, maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but you have to admit this is something right out of antifas playbook. I will leave it at that and move on as well.

It doesn't have to be new to be relevant. The link reports that four arsonists have been arrested for setting forest fires.

I can't judge because I am not a serious BF field researcher but that statement (not yours) doesn't make sense to me. You know of a BF that has a somewhat predictable habit of dumpster diving. You spend large amounts of your weekend in the woods searching. But a three hour drive is too far? Like I said, hard for me to cast stones because I don't put in nearly the effort that some here do, but if you're wanting to see a BF, get a nice picture, etc.....seems like three hours wouldn't be all that tough.
