Not as spiffy as NorthWind's fancy new truck, but I've got new wheels (again lol). I'm the happy owner of a new-to-me Ford Escape. Looking forward to fixing her up a bit. We took her on our adventuring yesterday and she did well. She's big enough to camp in, just in time for our upcoming night squatching adventure in 2 weeks (stay tuned!). Welcome "Indigo", or "Indy-go!"

zeebob889 is really vinchyfoot, I hate trolls.

That is a serious rig perfectly designed for outdoor adventures. The wait for its custom build was worth it. I hope you find a lot of joy from its use. Congrats, brother!

Maiden voyage! (Just on property in Newport) It rides nicer than the K5…

Hi all, very glad to be onboard. I am very interested in this topic from a scientific perspective and I hope to learn from member's experiences.

<polite clapping> Thank you for keeping our forum safe from trolls Gigantor!

The current report databases are valid as we currently have access to, they will continue to be as valid as we will have until the science industry gets with the program, and that will not occur until a motorist or poacher delivers them a carcass, and that will not occur as long as government continues suppressing discovery. Sorry, but I'm pretty sure that's just the way it is. So estimating sasquatch range based upon report densities continues to match known black bear range with remarkable uniformity. Sasquatch report densities also match black bear densities increasing with precipitation. These facts, in accordance with Glickman's theory on human population densities and its relation to sasquatch reports, does not fit with manufactured reports. It does indicate that black bear misidentifications occur, but if sasquatches actually exist, that means that sasquatch sightings are also sometimes mistaken for black bears. The bottom line is that, if you accept that sasquatches exist, their densities and range are clearly mirrored by black bear densities and range. The ratio of sasquatches to black bears is fairly wide open. I've used the ratio of one sasquatch to 200 bears as a general rule, but I admit that is not scientific.......but, then, little about the phenomenon is scientific, because science as an industry refuses to participate. So 200/1? 100/1? 500/1? What do you think?

Hello, So glad to find this forum. I've been interested in Bigfoot stories for about 10 years. I think I'd rather read or hear about other encounters than see one myself....unless it was from a safe distance. Guess I'm a big chicken Bobbi

40’s but yes!

That is one of the coolest and most capable overlanding rigs I have seen! Great job! Are those 37" Pro Comp MTs?

Yup. I haven’t broken it in yet, but it looks like it will be a great daypack

After a lunch time meeting in Chilliwack today, I got out for a few hours on a logging road that goes out to the headwaters of a Chilliwack River tributary. Experienced everything from bright blue sky to cold wind and snow in a matter of 3 hours. The only wildlife encounter was a large owl that I spooked up on the roadside. He took off right beside my truck, and flew alongside at window height for about 20 m (22 yards), giving me a great look at him. The wingspan looked to be about 4'. I didn't get a pic, as I was concentrating on staying on the narrow road. I did find a pretty waterfall and got a shot of it, though.

Okay we got another one...could have swore I saw a similar pic from Virginia a while back, Regardless this looks fake to me. Even though Mobile area could definitely hide a few in it's swampy areas. https://1079ishot.com/bigfoot-in-alabama/

My son Rick and I got out for a full day yesterday. We spent the day exploring some of the old deactivated logging roads in the Chehalis Lake/River valley. The H3 got very muddy, and lots of pinstripes from the overgrown brushy trails. Once we left the main FSR, we had most of the trails to ourselves, only meeting 2 other vehicles in a 6 hour period. It looks like the bears are not out yet, as we found no tracks or scat, but there were lots of deer tracks. The weather was good all day, till about 5 PM, when some heavy black clouds rolled in, bring some rain, and a few snow flakes. It was great to share a day in the mountains with my son, and we both came away happy to have had the time out there.

I decided to explore La Ventana Wilderness in Monterey County California in early April. There are only 4 BRFO reports (in the SSR database) for Monterey County in California but I have heard of other non-public reports. I have never visited this wilderness area before. Attached below is a Google Earth image snip with the 4 BFRO Reports plotted (3 orange dots and 1 yellow dot) to put in the context the route I took. I went backpacking into the Ventana Wilderness via the route shown in the attached map. It was a 3 nights and 4 days backpack. The first night was spent at Vicente Flat campground which was next to a creek. The campground had lots of people ~15. The second night was spent at Goat Camp (a beautiful location with creeks north and south and view of the ocean). Only saw 3 other people there. On the 3rd day, we took a long day hike to Cone Peak and back, and spent the last night at Limekiln creek. This is not a campground, but we crashed on a wash on the creek (see photo). We saw no large wildlife (deer, coyote, etc.). Did not even see squirrels! Saw snakes, bluebirds, and numerous other birds. I used my audio recorder the first 2 nights, and there were plenty of barred owls and other type of owls. No unusual sounds were detected. On the 3rd night by the creek, the creek sound was too loud to record anything so I did not record. I took my big thermal imager and tripod all the way up to Goat Camp and back and did not use it. I did not use it because my strategy was to keep it in my tent off until I heard some anomalous sound. Then I will turn it on, scan the area and mount it on tripod. Neither I nor my buddy (who does not believe in BF nor cares about looking for it) heard any weird sounds during all 3 nights. I did this trip because I wanted to explore deep into the Ventana wilderness and see the different ecosystems. We saw diverse types of vegetation (chaparral, cypress, live oaks, redwoods, sugar pines) and also grass and lupine meadows. There was plenty of water in those creeks up there. I saw no sign of BF in all in the areas we visited. I don't know if BF is still present in the coastal areas south of Monterey. This wilderness area gets lots of visitors in the spring (after rainy season and before the hot summer). The whole trail had poison oak all along the way. We took Tecnu and washed every time we thought we touched the plants. While I did not get any rash while I was there, I did get hit with a poison oak rash on my left arm after I got home. Whole left arm is full of blisters and swollen. Probably won't hike again in coastal areas with poison oak anymore since I am extremely allergic.

A couple more mods. Some lights, a new bumper and winch, a hilift jack, a couple of Rotopax, a VO switch box on the dash, and mudflaps because the bigger wheels were kicking up a lot of mud.

FYI....the Sotol chews above for sure have good ole spit all over them if anyone is interested in testing, message me privately and can send you a few.
