One Week To Squatch, Where To Do It?

A NF in "Georgiabama" would be a pretty good bet too.  I would be surprised if 1 in 200 Class A sightings is reported in this part of the country.

You could probably call Brenda up, and ask if anyone is having any issues with them, and get an update. Not sure how you present yourself as squatchers though. They don't like them on the res. Funny accents may be of interest to a squatch, but being female is probably the top response getter.

I didn't think the Salmon were running in the streams this time of year. But hey, I live in S. Carolina.  I would go to Gray's Harbor or the N. Florida area where Stacy Brown got his thermal. Might be a lil warmer..

The places and suggestions by the members here I bet would all be good. Including my neck of the woods here in Alabama, but if I only had one week I would try to go to the PNW to Greys Harbor or one of the regular guide services like Derekfoot is involved with, which are set up for expeditions and can square you away on all the things you might need and where to stay and the little details which would make for a better outing for someone not familiar with the area or the subject so much. And of course you would also get the benefit of all the knowledge and experience of your guides too. Or barring that if one wished to free lance it and go with ones flow moreso, the ocean front area there would probably be easy to book rooms and is set up for visitors and vacationers I would think. So one could enjoy the area as a beautiful resort either beachside or drive the few miles to the more remote less populated areas and hike or explore, do your own thing and then return to the beach house at night for whatever entertainment is available or desired. And if the reports from the county are given credence, have a decent shot at seeing what you came for at either place, exploring or sitting on the deck relaxing lol  And I bet you could speak with some of the people who have filed reports there if that was desired, and see where the claimed sightings were. One is easy as described to find on the highway past the steel bridge coming out of the curve, again if the report is believed lol

This turned out to be a great discussion.  Our Irish friends are getting some good info!

 

I have no idea what goes on in the PNW and didn't mean to start a contest between there in Ohio.  It seems like BF go where the food and water are. 

 

I just feel strongly about this area of Ohio because I live here and can tell you that there has been a LOT of activity here this past year or so.  My BFRO researcher calls it a "flap." 

 

Regarding food here, we have a ton of skunk cabbage, tons of berries, (makes yummy jelly every year!), and just tonight we went looking for prints, (me and the skeptic husband).  We saw deer tracks all over the place along with rabbit, mole hills everywhere, coyote and what I think may be a juvenile sasquatch print!  He actually had to admit that it looked like a foot print, but said that it was so small.  I talk about it on the habituating thread.

 

Anyway, we have lots of food, cover and water here.  Do BF eat corn and soy?  Our neighbor farmer got a nuisance permit to kill deer in the summer, (he leaves them lay), because they were eating 6 rows deep into his crop. 

 

So I don't know what goes on anywhere else in the USA or otherwise, all I can tell you is that I watch the Finding Bigfoot show now and laugh because they go to such great extents to be close to SSQ, (I know it makes good TV), but laugh because they are right HERE!   And they are fat and sassy. 

 

To our Irish friends...send me a PM if you are thinking of coming to Ohio.  I can help you out.  I would also like to sincerely invite you to our place for a night.  We have a nice guest room with two beds and my husband will cook you a great American BBQ dinner.  I think his smoker pulls BF in too.  We could hang out by a monster sized bonfire and walk around all night, and even call it if you like.  Three times this summer / fall, we called it and it responded.   You can camp out near where it was and see what happens.  Mostly all we have to do is just have fun and then turn the music off about 0100 and we'll more than likely get action.  That is IF it comes back again this spring / summer like it did in 2012 (class A sighting nearby) and our class B sightings here in 2013.    I am half Irish with roots in Mayo County, Ireland.  I very much carry the Irish spirit with me.  lol  You would understand if you met my mother's side of the family!  :)

I have lived here in Washington State in the Pacific Northwest all my life and the Gifford Pinchot National forest is in my back yard, so I'm a little biased. I have spent much time on the Olympic National forest too again a little biased. both these national forest have great wilderness areas and believe me go hiking in either of these and you will get the feeling of being watched.

 

One place I would highly recommend in the summer would be the wilderness coast on the Olympic National Forest. A trail goes along the coast with no roads, crossing headlands and around headlands during low tide. check this out.

There are lots of places in both National forest I mentioned here. A little secret place not so secret would be in the Gifford Pinchot would be Siouxon pronounced (soo sone) creek trail, a very good bet.

One thing summer would be best the time, August September my favorites. where ever you go enjoy.

 

Watch the trees and when you hear those foot falls around your tent at night peek out the window of your tent, you might just see the big guy.

Depends what time of year you come. Most of the places recommended are seasonal and difficult to get to in the winter. If I were to pick a winter location I would go to around the temperate Greys Harbor area and West along 109 to Ocean Shores. Ohio is very cold right now and so are most other places mentioned. Be careful with the Gifford Pinchot. That is literally in my back yard and not normally a place I recommend to go in the winter due to access and snow. Logging roads are blocked off or snow covered normally by this time although we have had a pretty dry fall. Most of Skamania county is National Forest and they are not into maintaining roads or road signs etc. People get lost permanently all the time over there. Two people lost within 50 miles of me just in the last year have never been found in spite of major search efforts. It can be an unfriendly place if you get disoriented, hurt, or lost. Although I am not aware of any Grizzly bear in the Gifford Pinchot. Just black bear and cougars. Northern WA has the grizzly bear. There is an active BF area East of Portland Oregon and South West of Mt Hood. Down in the Collawash River Drainage of the Mt Hood National forest. Several campgrounds in the area. Portland is not very far away and has major airline service. I can give you more specific information if you are interested in any of those areas.

Summer normally does not start in the Pacific NW until after the first week in July. Can have rain pretty much any time before that. No guarantees after July but less likely it will rain. BF encounters are purely chance no matter where you go. I would recommend you go where you can camp, be interesting, aware, do day hikes, and hopefully at night they (BF) will come in to take a look or listen to your interesting accent. If you play a musical instrument or sing bring it and play it. That is part of being interesting. Good luck.
