I haven't waded through five pages yet, but my thought is this. I'll believe it when I see it AND I'm seeing more and more that I thought unbelievable.
For instance, I didn't believe in lights or orbs in the woods.... and I've now seen both. So, I've changed my opinion. I consider woo POSSIBLE, just not LIKELY.
With so many witnesses, though, I'll keep the door open to more info and new experiences and new opinions.
Portland isn't as bad as it is made out to be. It's still not great, but not as bad as you'd think depending on where you go.
When in Portland, stop in at Huber's and get a fantastic turkey dinner all year around!
Why would a hungry squatch just stop with an arm or leg? Why wouldn't they just eat the whole helpless hiker? Why bury the poor unfortunate soul when nature will remove a body faster enough?
If I were a Squatch and I contemplated search parties, I think I'd tell my hairy buddies, "Eat one and even more will show up and we'll all eat."
And as far as people disappearing in the woods goes, i chalk that up to carelessness and accidents more than Bigfoot. One misstep and a broken leg or a fall into a ditch and it's "see you next spring".
World UFO Day celebrates June 24th.
June 24, 1947, the first modern sighting of flying saucers reported by private pilot Kenneth Arnold, who spotted a group of 9 'saucer like craft' above the volcano Mount Rainier, Cascades. Military pilots called them foo fighters. The term 'flying saucers' stuck. I don't know which direction the UFO's were traveling. Mt. Rainier forms lenticular cloud formations which I think would be a good day time hiding place for saucer like craft.
Unfortunately, UFO hoaxes appeared very quickly.
Oregon has it all. A coastline that is second to none, temperate rain forests, savannas, mountains, valleys, volcanoes, caves, high desert, sage flats, orchards, fields of various crops, vineyards, lava fields, famous water falls, including the second widest falls in North America, and vortexes, that all offer every sort of recreation one could want.
Oh, I see. And is this because I'm only a single random person doing this? You say something like that and then hang me out to dry? Best move is not to get me ticked of here as I won't be responsible for what I might say. Because what I'm thinking right now would get me banned immediately and then your "source" would be history PDQ. And I don't say this lightly because you've turned into probably my favorite member to talk with on the BFF.
