If you relocated, or are vacationing or visiting a new area, how do decide where to go for sasquatching? The first thing I would do is a quick search of the BFRO sightings in the general area. Then, I would do a very detailed search of the BFF database. It's a valuable resource. Once I had a geographic area in mind, I would focus on the forests in that region. Over the years, I've had a few features that draw me to certain areas more so than others: 1) Focusing on water sources has been my main criteria for an area 2) Carefully studying topo maps looking for very specific terrain features near those water sources 3) Choosing a location that is off trail and not easy to get to. Preferably difficult. If I were in a new area that was always wet, or had an abundance of water access, my approach would focus on terrain features and difficulty of access. Your approach?

March 1st outing My daughter and I had an epic 14 hour road trip through prime research country today, but no creatures or tracks were located in spite of lots of looking for movement or spoor along the way. We started at 8am with breakfast at the Matsqui Cafe, then drove to the start of the Harrison West FSR, where I aired down the tires on the Hummer to handle the washboard, potholes, and debris on the rough gravel logging road. Then a slow cruise to km 31, where we turned N onto the Mystery Valley FSR, which we followed over the pass to the N end of Chehalis Lake. We spent a half hour there chatting with the 2 other people we saw there, then retraced our route to the Harrison West FSR and turned to continue to the head of the 50km long lake. At that point we stopped for lunch, then entered the Lillooet River FSR to follow it for about 80km to pavement at the Duffy Lake Rd. Along the way we made a stop at the almost ghost town of Skookumchuck for some photos of the 120 year old wooden church, just a couple of km downstream of my 1980's placer claim on the river. On reaching pavement again at Duffy Lake RD (Hwy 99), I aired the tires back up, and we continued over the snowy mountain pass to the town of Lytton, gassed up, and followed the Fraser Canyon to Hope, stopped for supper at 8pm, then 2 more hours to home.

I always thought this video was legit.

Yep, seems to me I might have done such in a few decades back, but ThinkerThunker does a good job of it in my opinion. I wonder if ThinkerThinker is a long time member of the forum, incognito?
