  1. The area around the ski area is pleasant to hike around. The image of Table Mountain and Mazama Ridge was taken years ago, during September. The postcard shows what skiing was like before rope tows and chairlifts. I think that the view is from a spot close to 'Artist Point'. The area below Table Mt. can retain snow into summer. Years ago, there was a report from persons who were at Artist Point and observed a large bipedal animal ascend the snow field from the lake up to Table Mountain at an un-human pace. Their cameras did not have telephoto capability.

  2. No Columbia ground squirrels local to me, on the wet coastal side of the mountains, but I've found some large colonies about 2 hours' drive east, on the rain shadow side of the Cascades, in alpine meadows and some ranch grasslands. My daughter and I went out for a ride up one of our local mountains this afternoon, and found the snow had disappeared from the plateau at the top, and the salmonberry bushes were flowering. We saw one fresh bear scat, and several turkey vultures soaring above us, but no other wildlife. Great views of the Fraser Valley from the top

  3. Here's a shot of Mt. Baker taken from my patio at 8:20 this evening, and a little story about my first drive up the mountain back about 1964. Myself, my new bride, and another young newlywed couple made our first trip up Baker in my '49 Ford, at about this time of year. The drive to the resort was interesting, with great scenery, and lots of snow alongside the road at the higher elevations. After a lunch and making snow angels, we started back down the very twisty road, following a green VW beetle. At the 3rd or 4th hairpin turn, the VW hit an icy patch, spun 360 degrees, and punched through the snowbank on the downhill side of the road, disappearing over the edge. The ladies screamed, and I managed to pull over and stop without meeting the same fate. George and I got out and went to the edge of the snowbank to see if we could do anything, while the girls flagged traffic around my car on the narrow road. When we looked down the hill, the VW was sitting in snow up to the windows, having literally flown 20' out and 30' down, without touching the snow in between! As the 2 of us started down the very steep dropoff, we saw 2 people, a young man and woman, emerge from the passenger side window, as the doors were blocked by the snow. We got down to them, determined that there were no real injuries, and we all struggled back up to the roadway in waist deep snow, soaking wet by the time we got there. After all piling into my car, and cranking the heater up, we discussed the plan of action, finally deciding to drive to the base of the mountain to call for a tow truck, and allow the young man to call his Dad to tell him where his VW was. I left them at the service station to wait for the tow, and a ride home to Seattle, while our 2 couples drove back to Surrey, BC, with the heater blasting to dry us out. I've been back there a few times since, including on a Honda Silver Wing, which was great fun on that road in the summer, and always recall that incident on the hairpin turn.

  5. I remember this well, many of us here were involved with this saga hoping it was the real deal. It ran along with the Melba Ketchum saga. Both part of a long line of scammers looking for their 15 minutes of fame. He was a scammer, the bear steak proved it, Nothing he said was true.

  6. Hello from the U.S. South (Tennessee, to be exact), I am fairly new to the world of Bigfoot and have only been a believer for roughly half a year. Prior to my spouse introducing me to the possibility that BF could be real, I would have never even given it a second thought, but after watching multiple documentaries and conducting other research, I know that this thing is real! Excited to be here 🙂

  7. I don’t think they are admitting it. They are just addressing the possibility.

  8. Feral humans were implicated in the Dennis Martin case. That’s Paulides/411 territory. So this goes way beyond merely Tik Tok veracity. I find it a little strange that Bigfooters have this sort of negative response to feral humans..... If the hinterlands of North America can support a breeding population of 800 lbs primates? Surely it can support feral humans! Where is the evidence? Human sized bare foot prints! Sound familiar?

  10. If they have( these feral people ) kidnapped all these people out in our forest. People who have some knowledge of navigation in the wilderness. Like couple of you have said have maybe been being used for mating with. Then why have not any one of of these people been able to escape. You would think that this would be the first thing that these people would try after being taken against their will.
