You can only get so much out of other people's accounts. The only cure for your current feelings is time in the deep woods. Experience it yourself rather than relying on people sharing their experiences for profit.

I'm just going on a wee bit of a rant here. I was looking for some books on the subject and perhaps a new film to watch (after watching a miserable "documentary" about the She-Squatchers) and it became pretty clear that the world of Bigfoot is stagnant and has been for years. I ordered Peter Byrnes book and Ron Morehead's book but nothing else on Amazon seemed to grab me or I have already read it. And really, do any new books contain any new info or is it just more of the same old stuff dressed up? There is just so much dreck and inane stuff on the publishing side you feel badly for the trees that died for them to be printed. The same with documentaries. You get to watch a few re-enactments, hear a few stories and see a guy tromping through the woods in a gorilla suit but solid evidence or any titillating info is lacking. Basically, we watch 90 minutes of people camping and thinking every brush pop is a 8 foot tall hairy giant. And the talking heads just repeat the same stuff they said in the last film they participated in. Just feels like we are spinning our wheels here and isn't that just the most frustrating thing? You'd think somebody would manage to get something "new' to breath life into things. So, has anybody seen anything lately that makes them excited about the subject or have we run the gamut and plumbed as deep as we can until serious folks do a serious study or, better yet, a body is acquired?

The quote is simple and straight forward. One does not need to make an epic trek into deep, dark forests. Spending money on books is questionable. None of the Four Horsemen saw a Sasquatch. Peter Byrnes never saw a Yeti or Sasquatch but he wrote a lot of books. I never bought into the Sierra Sounds entertainment noises. Rehashed rehashed and reformatted rehashed material goes on and on. The content creators have little or nothing to work with. A 'she-squatcher' story that has been lost to time occurred at the Skookum Elk lay cast site. There was a gathering of women at the Elk lay site. They hung out all day. No hairy results. They did not pay attention to the calendar. As day light faded, Elk hunters filtered out of the woods. This begs the question: were they watched through high powered scopes executing the buddy system? "Know before you go".

I got a text from my buddy Bill (MagniAesir on here) on Friday asking our usual research group (Magni, Thomas, Alohacop, and myself) to meet up for an outing on Sunday morning, so of course I agreed immediately. At 0800 Sunday morning I arrived at the designated spot on Hwy 7, where we all gassed up and headed for the nearby watershed where I had my sighting many years ago. It was raining, but the forecast was for a break in the rain by about 0930. The weatherman LIED!! The rain intensified through the morning, so we continued to the end of the road system near the headwater lake, where there is a rough lean-to shelter where we could sit and talk for a while before calling it a day. By the time we were heading out, what had been small trickles of water down the rocks were now waterfalls, and in places some football size rocks had been washed down the hills onto the roadway. It was definitely time to get out of Dodge! It made for a short day, but we made plans for future trips later in the Spring.
