Good evening friends!
I am home now from a wonderful afternoon spent with like-minded Bigfoot enthusiasts from Northeast Ohio.
It was an overcast seasonable afternoon. I picked up my partner Bob and we headed west to Lorain county to the Carlisle Nature Center.
Marc was setting up his vendor table while Dave was setting up Esteban's PowerPoint presentation.
I went over to say hello to my favorite primate anthropologist; restraining myself from his boyish charms.
Bob and I said our hellos and were soon greeted by Dave aka 'Bluetracker" and Liam, aka, "Irish Guy". Psychic Sonya brought up the rear.
There were about 75 people in the room and some were boy scouts who had heard about the event from Marc's wife who is a den leader.
Marc began the presentation with a brief biography of himself and how he started out as a Bigfoot researcher over 20 years ago. He then told us a story of his first visualization and showed the video to corroborate his story.
He thinks the video is nothing.
Believe me when I tell you, that this video far surpasses anything ...any blobsquatch..anything by ButchyKid..just let me say..I was impressed. I have asked for Mark's permission to air the story and the video...I hope he allows you all to see it.
He then introduced Esteban. I wish that Esteban were a professor at Cleveland State University because I would definitely sign up for his class.
He began talking to us about the physical attributes of Great Apes. He provided slides that explained the disbursement of apes an humans all over the world. He showed how almost all Great Apes reside in countries near the equator.
He then segued into the Patterson film and how the subject in the film differs from an ape, and has more human characteristics.
Esteban neither confirms or denies that he believes in Bigfoot, however he will not rule out the possibility of a species of North American ape.
As always, Esteban was enjoyable to listen to and an attentive listener himself.
He loves the stories that people tell him and will give you his honest opinion when asked a direct question.
Marc DeWerth and his organization, the Ohio Bigfoot Organization deserve much credit for bring Esteban in, at their own expense, and charging nothing to the public. I would definitely send some donations his way.
Hopefully I will add some video and audio to this post so you can all feel like you were there!
It was an awesome afternoon and I am home now thinking about my next adventure...Honobia, Oklahoma!
Can't wait to see my dear friends Bob and Kathy Strain! xoxo muah muah muah!
Loving my life and what I do! Till next time friends!

Bigfoot Observer's Field Manual
The book was very short, but filled with thoughtful insight and planning on how to create the perfect atmosphere for a researcher to experience a possible visit by the "Giant Forest People".
Recently, Robert has created an audio CD version of the manual.
The very first track entitled The Perfect Encounter sets the mood perfectly. Although I was sitting in my office while listening to the CD, Robert's descriptive narrating soon had my mind and thoughts whisked away to a perfect, warm autumn day in the woods.
As Robert continued on through the chapters, I was reminded of how very important it is that we aren't all running into the forest willy-nilly hoping to snap a photo of the Sasquatch, and how we should prepare ourselves physically and mentally for the ambitiously onerous challenge.
His chapter on how to grid and document activity in certain areas is pertinent to beginning any investigation.
The CD version also allows Robert to interject his intensity and passion as well as some personal comments and observations.
I would highly recommend both the book and audio CD to be carried by all researchers, rookie and veteran. The CD can be listened to while driving to your next expedition or to your research area.
On a side note, Halloween is approaching and as I stated before, the introduction on the CD sets the scene for a thrilling, woodsy experience and would definitely keep a den of Boy Scouts on the edge of their seats!
Perfect for a campfire setting!
The CD is not available through Amazon.com at this time. However you can order your copy of either the book or the CD for $16.00 by visiting: http://pinewindspress.com/

Modern Monster
Today was the first time I heard about a film being made in West Virginia by a young lad named John Mascella.
His film is titled Modern Monster and includes squatch-lebrities such as Eric Altman and Don Keating.
It will explore the evidence of bigfoot and focus on the pop culture of the creature. John hopes to enter his film at the Sundance movie festival in 2012.
Good luck John!
(You should have featured a certain blond Bigfoot reporter, shame on you)

Trip to Southern Ohio
A few weeks ago, I was given information about a woman in southern Ohio who had been having squatchtivity in her neighborhood since 2003. Of course that was my cue to jump in the old squatchmobile and make the 4 hour trek there!
There had been sighting reports in the 1980's, but she had never had her own experience.
Her family owns several hundred acres of land, and most of her neighbors, few and far between are aunts, uncles and cousins. Hers is the last house on the gravel road. The road takes you into a private property owned by the Division of Forestry.
In 2003, she was walking down to her mailbox when she heard 3 wood knocks in the woods to the north. She then picked up two rocks and clacked them together. This resulted in three more wood knocks and her barricading herself in her house until her husband came home. She then told him what had happened and they were both convinced it was a Sasquatch.
A few years ago, her husband and nephew were trying to attract foxes and were playing the sound recording of a rabbit being killed by a fox. Most of us have heard that sound, if not listen here. They then thought they heard a man's voice yell out, "Hey! What are you doing?" They were startled, but then angered that someone was on their private property, so they jumped into the pickup truck and headed up the road to see who was there. They didn't see anyone, then turned the truck around. The nephew is a big boy, 6'2" over 250 lbs. All of a sudden on the passenger side of the truck, they see a giant figure jump from a tree stump on the slope above the road, about 7 feet high. The Sasquatch leapt from the stump and landed on the rear quarter panel of the truck and held on for about 15 feet before it fell off into the ditch. The men claimed the creature was so heavy that the truck was swerving and dragging in the rear.
The next morning, in the day light, they photographed the claw marks.
Although she has never seen the full body of the Sasquatch, she claims to have seen and heard them all around her property and has caught glimpses of an arm, shoulder and hand.
She leaves apples out, sings Indian songs and talks softly to them.
Her 6 yr old daughter has only seen Bigfoots on television.
We then drove around and she showed me some tree and stick formations.
We then said our goodbyes and I made the 4 hour drive back home.
Although I did not see, hear or smell anything Squatchy, I did enjoy my visit and listening to the stories.
I have recorded some of the stories and will post them on Monday.
I love where I go, who I meet and what I research, even when nothing happens.

ODNR approves funding to expand trail projects
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which administers the Clean Ohio Trails Fund, has approved grant proposals for trail projects across the state that will help develop and revitalize communities.
The Clean Ohio Trails Fund is one of four components of the Clean Ohio Fund, which restores, protects and connects Ohio's natural and urban places.
Ohioans approved the establishment of the $400 million bond program in 2000. It was a critical component of the 2008 Ohio Bipartisan Job Stimulus Plan.
An extension of the Clean Ohio Fund was overwhelmingly accepted at the ballot in 2008.
ODNR awarded 30 Clean Ohio Trails Fund grants for community projects that will build and maintain infrastructure that allows citizens to conveniently connect to nature.
These projects will complete regional trail systems and connects to statewide trails, link population centers with outdoor recreation areas and facilities, preserve natural corridors, and link urban areas to support commuter access and provide economic benefits.
The investments help facilitate travel, enhance educational opportunities and provide safe, scenic areas where Ohioans can hike, bike or run and build healthy lifestyles.
Grants totaling $8.29 million will support projects which improve outdoor recreational opportunities for Ohioans, which are expected to cost as much as $20.89 million.
This funding will be used to develop 35.82 miles of new trails, construct four bridges, 2.31 miles of bike lanes, and acquire more than 50 miles of abandon railroad and greenway corridors. Grant recipients will provide a 25 percent local match for their projects.
To date, the Clean Ohio Trail Fund has dedicated more than $39 million to provide thousands of Ohioans with better access to recreational opportunities through the creation of more than 263 miles of trails and the acquisition of 94 miles of abandoned railroad and greenway corridors.

Squatch Report
This morning I met Bob aka Lowrider at our research area for a fun-filled day of hiking and squatching. We went to the bait station which is located by the tepee structure Bob discovered in 2008. In the past 2 years, the structure has deteriorated to a mere pile of sticks, a wee notion of what was once a glorious masterpiece. The condition of the tepee structure leads us to believe that it had to be a new creation when Bob discovered it.
Bob has developed a baiting technique that we have used effectively for 2 years. He has a long rope, a carbiner and zippered, nylon, mesh bag. Bob attaches the bag to the carbiner, then fills the bag with either apples, pears, carrots, potatoes or whatever fruit or vegetable is in season. He then hoists the bag 8 feet into the air in the tree and secures the rope to the tree.
The bait is almost always taken within a week without the bag having been chewed through or torn. We did experiment with a trail cam, only to have all activity cease. The bait was left to rot in the tree. We removed the camera and the activity slowly resumed. Wild!
We then made our way across the river only to discover that the area was so overgrown and not much fun to hike. We did get to utilize my brand new machete and worked up quite the sweat! We did find a very large canine print and deduced that it must either be a coyote or wolf. However, we never get to see any animals on our hikes besides birds, toads, mosquitoes and trout. :(
We headed back to our cars and left the area to check out a mountain bike trail that has a very "squatchy" appeal.
Along the trail were many interesting tree formations, breaks and arches. I found 2 young saplings that were growing in a bent formation which could very well grow into a natural tree arch when the tree matures. This should be considered when discussing tree arching.
All in all it was an amazing day in the woods, and there is no place I'd rather be! There is something magical and therapeutic about being in the forest.
Next weekend I will be traveling to southern Ohio to interview a woman who claims to have a habituation situation taking place on her property. To be continued indeedy! Have a great week!

Goodbye to the Bigfoot Forums! :(
This just in from Bipto (Brian Brown)
As you all know, the BFF has been damaged recently. The damage was done by a malicious script running on an admin's computer without their knowledge. I have no idea how the script did its damage, but it does not appear as though it can be fixed.
Also, as you all know, I have recently "returned" to the forum. This was a mistake. I wasn't happy with what had happened to the forum's reputation and thought I had a solution that would have put the site on a firm footing for the future. That may all still happen, but I don't know when. Bottom line is my personal and professional obligations do not, at this time, allow me to give this site the attention it requires. Also, I have no idea to whom I can give the forum. Honestly, I don't know if I *want* to give the forum to anyone. The fate of the BFF is tied to me in a way it isn't with anyone else.
I have come to the difficult conclusion that best course of action for me to take is to put the forum on a hiatus during which no posting will be allowed. For all intents and purposes, the BFF is closed until further notice. I will leave the site up as long as I am able. All the content will be visible, but posting and new registration will be suspended. There was a time when the BFF was necessary. I believe that time has passed.
When a redwood tree falls, thousands of little ones sprout on its stump to take its place. It's time for whatever comes after the BFF to sprout.
-First the TBRC implodes, then the BFF shuts down!!!! Don't worry folks, I will always be here for all of your Bigfoot news and needs!

Come Out Come Out Wherever You Are!
A southeast Ohio conservation center will use $400,000 in grant money to convert acres of abandoned mines into thriving prairies in an effort to utilize agricultural technology outside of mainstream practices.
The Wilds, located in Cumberland, Ohio is an area of land that was originally conceived as a private-public partnership involving the Ohio Departments of Natural Resources and Development, the Ohio zoological parks, and the private sector. The Wilds was formally incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit under the name The International Center for the Preservation of Wild Animals, Inc. (ICPWA).
In 1986 - ICPWA received a gift of 9,154 acres of land from the Central Ohio Coal Company, a subsidiary of American Electric Power Company. The next few years were spent planning the development of the site, enlisting fundraising support from both the private and public sectors, and building a staff.
The Mission statement of The Wilds is "To advance conservation through science, education and personal experience."
Perhaps the project will force Sasquatch that may inhabit the mines out into the open. Salt Fork State Park is to the northeast of Cumberland. Could this be a habitat for Sasquatches?
Ohio researchers might want to pay close attention to this area in the near future for an increase of sightings and activity.

West Virginia
I haven't posted in a few days, but that doesn't mean I have been lazy!
Last week I was presented with this story.
I was ready to jump in my car and go, but decided to slow down since I am always too excited to follow up on these things.
I contacted the reporter, Matthew Earle and he gave me the witness's phone number. I spoke with Mr. Harison briefly and he apologized for making such a big to do about the "howling" he heard in the woods.
Upon further investigation on his part, he discovered that the sound was actually mechanical in nature, and was emanating from a nearby property that was under construction. It seems an air compressor was the culprit.
Mr. Harrison was slightly embarrassed and stated that it explains why the noise was heard mostly during the day.
Have a great day folks! Remember, don't JUMP to conclusions! :)

Discussion
This weekend I was asked my thoughts about the Patterson/Gimlin film. One thing I realize is that there is no way we will EVER know the God's honest truth because we were not there. All we have to go on is hearsay and speculation and other people's theories.
Many have analyzed the film up, down and sideways and still cannot conclude with 100% authority that the film is real or fake.
I do not know all of the circumstances that lead up to the filming, and I was hoping that many of you will be able to give me your thoughts and opinions and theories, maybe shed some light on areas of which I am not aware.
What bearing is there to the fact that Rene Dahinden and John Greene were at Bluff Creek prior to the filiming?
Was there really a terrible rain storm the night of October 20, 1967 that washed out the go road?
In 1967, how was it possible that a private plane was accessed so quickly after the filming?
So many questions. Can someone answer these questions? Share your thoughts.
I do have one observation to make. I was at the Bluff Creek location last August and the terrain was rough. As you can tell from the 1967 film footage, Roger was stumbling as he was chasing after the creature. He finally had to stop and rest the camera upon a fallen tree so that he could film steadily. In my opinion, a large man, wearing a heavy costume, would NOT have been able to traverse across that terrain with such ease and swiftness. As you can tell in the Patterson film, Patty strides easily and purposefully across the creek and up into the treeline.
I would really like more input on this matter because I have not read every book or blog or article and I would like to know what other details I may be missing, or opinions that you might have to shed light on the subject.

Things That make You Go Hmmmmmm
By all accounts, I am a newbie to this field. I'll admit it! I have been reading up on for about 7 years and researching for 3 years, reporting for 2.
I have heard all kinds of theories and beliefs and assumptions and "scientific" explanations. Kathy Strain has written a book about the ancient ones, the Native American Indians who tell their tales and pass their history down from generation to generation. Their history includes lore of the "spirits of the forest". Kathy is a scientist. An Anthropologist and an Archaeologist. I love hearing the stories she retells that have been told to her, and who am I to argue or dis-believe what the Native Americans have believed for thousands of years??? I am only in my 40's, they've got baskets older than me.
There are Bigfoot enthusiasts out there who also dabble in Ufology and the paranormal. Are they so gullible that they will believe anything? Do they try to imagine that all 3 mysteries can be combined in some way? There are drawings and cave etchings also depicting the evidence of aliens, UFOs etc. in the Native American Indian's culture. Who are we to argue with them?
You are probably wondering why I am babbling on here...well, I just received another email from a reader. It baffles me, yet it also reminded me of something that happened to me over 2 years ago. I only told Bob about it, and I attributed it to my eyes playing tricks on me, but now I am wondering if there was something to it!
Here is the email with the person's name omitted:
Hi Sharon, great to hear from you. I've had at least three experiences where I've encountered Bigfoot in a non-physical sense. In truth, there really is no other way to explain it, and I am still mystified & puzzled beyond my comprehension of what, exactly, did occur.
The first experience was at Salt Fork State Park in May, 2008, when I saw, with my own eyes, something cross the trail in front of me, less than 20 yards away. What I saw was very big, and very large, and walked upright. What I did not see, however, was any physical shape, but the merest, transparent glimmer of an outline. For several years I was extremely uneasy about even telling people what I had seen; I had no words to describe it. Then, I heard a radio programme where a former Marine described the exact same thing, and compared it to the film "Predator" where the alien creature is first seen only as a shimmering outline of sorts. That is exactly what I saw. To this day it terrifies me.
Not until this happened did I realise that bigfoot might actually be able to leave this dimension at will, or that bigfoot was, truly, a spiritual being. The indigenous peoples were right all along, as usual; I daresay I was so caught up in the physical evidence that I really downplayed the spiritual.
Sometime later (possibly even that summer), I was out at a bar with friends. I left the bar, and, walking to my truck, noticed what appeared to be a very large, dark figure standing next to my vehicle, on the passenger side. I did not really pay very much attention; the night was foggy, and I was very tired (I had not been drinking, as I had a long drive home). As I approached my truck, I became more & more uneasy, and felt extremely uncomfortable. I quickly unlocked the door, hopped in and drove away.
I was not alone, however.
The bigfoot-spirit was in the car with me, sitting in the passenger seat. He was enormous, filling up the space with his presence. I was terrified out of my wits, and kept asking him what he wanted. His only answer was "You know why I'm here."
He remained with me the entire ride home. Not until I entered the town where I live did he drift away, suddenly & quietly.
It is my firm belief that the bigfoot-spirit escorted me home through a very dark, very foggy night, over very dark roads, to ensure that I reached home safely. It is, actually, because of this that I began to explore shamanic meditation as a means of contacting bigfoot as one of my guardian spirits.
The third incident, and possibly the most terrifying, was at Grand Mere Dunes State Park in southwest Michigan, in November 2008. While hiking with my good friend John W Castle, I became aware of...a presence...in the woods behind us, about 150 yards away. It was moving closer to us. I asked John if he heard/smelled anything, and he did not.
As we climbed to the top of a dune, I looked back down the path behind me. The presence was now at the base of the dune, and clearly following us. To create a diversion, John walked down the other side of the dune with his dogs, and I remained at the crest. Within only a few seconds, I suddenly realised it was standing right behind me.
I turned around.
It was...enormous, towering well over my head (I am 6'2"). It was very big, and very shaggy, and very...curious. I really think it wanted to know more about me than I did about him...! It stood there for some time, just looking at me. I did not know how to address it, or to even explain it to John. How do you tell someone that you see something that no one else can?
I am reminded of my old third-floor walkup in Chicago, when I lived there. Often, I would feel the presence of bigfoot, on my back porch! He would simply be standing at the back door, looking in over the transom. Other times, he would be standing in the alleyway, looking up at my apartment.
Was he trying to communicate with me?
I have always been able to "feel" a presence when I am out in the woods. Always. I know when they are nearby.
Recently, a collection of grasses, leaves & twigs was placed in my deckchair, on the back porch, within a two-hour time span. This is not the first time this has happened.
Sharon, I greatly appreciate your willingness to let me share my experiences. For so long I've wondered if I were the only one who had these encounters. Thank you, again.
As I read this, I could not help but wonder..is this guy pulling my leg? Is he mocking me or others? Who am I to judge? As my readers know, I do not put people down or laugh at their beliefs.
Who am I to say what is out there? I am no expert! Are there people in this world who can communicate with another dimension? 50% of you will say no, 50% of you will say yes. Who is right? Who has irrefutable proof one way or the other? Can it be both ways?
Could Bigfoot be flesh and blood AND a spirit? Perhaps not at the same time, but perhaps when their physical presence ends, their spiritual presence begins? I have no idea.
I don't want ANYONE quoting me as saying that I believe one way or the other. I am simply putting this out there so you, the reader, the independent thinker, the one who doesn't KNOW all the answers can hear other sides to this mystery.
Now, I will tell you what happened to me 2 years ago.
It was a summer day and my husband and I had gone running at Hogback Ridge. This is the area where Bob and I have been doing our backyard research. We know that our "Bigfoot" activity dies down in the warmer months when the area is swamped with people.
My husband runs faster than I do, he used to run cross-country in college. My husband is big. 6'3" and about 300 lbs. He has an athletic build with a bit of a gut, but, he is not out of shape by any means.
Anyway, we had done one loop on the trail and I had to use the facilities. We had seperated a ways back because I can't really keep up with him. The trail continues past the outhouse which is located at the front of the parking lot then back down into the woods. I was leaving the facilities when I noticed "my husband" going past our car and ducking down. About 75 feet away. I laughed and yelled out, "I can see you! " I figured he was going to jump out and try to scare me...as I ran towards the car, there was no one there. I walked around the car, looked behind the trees and even looked at the leaf litter on the ground. I was astounded. I then assumed that I had been seeing things. At that point my husband came running out of the woods about 100 yards behind me. Then I realized I was just seeing things and he joined me for the last part of the run.
I told Bob about it and he just said hmmm. Now these stories about vanishing Bigfoots are coming to light and I am thinking, "wow, did that happen to me too?"
I am not saying one way or another that I believe in the spirits or other dimensions, but I'll be damned if I close my mind to those possibilities.
If someone told me that their dead grandma was standing in their kitchen, who am I to call them a liar? Their grandma was once alive with a physical presence...that is documented and proven. But how do we prove that this person is now experiencing her grandmother's spirit?
There is just too much that we don't know. How can we?
I have heard all kinds of theories and beliefs and assumptions and "scientific" explanations. Kathy Strain has written a book about the ancient ones, the Native American Indians who tell their tales and pass their history down from generation to generation. Their history includes lore of the "spirits of the forest". Kathy is a scientist. An Anthropologist and an Archaeologist. I love hearing the stories she retells that have been told to her, and who am I to argue or dis-believe what the Native Americans have believed for thousands of years??? I am only in my 40's, they've got baskets older than me.
There are Bigfoot enthusiasts out there who also dabble in Ufology and the paranormal. Are they so gullible that they will believe anything? Do they try to imagine that all 3 mysteries can be combined in some way? There are drawings and cave etchings also depicting the evidence of aliens, UFOs etc. in the Native American Indian's culture. Who are we to argue with them?
You are probably wondering why I am babbling on here...well, I just received another email from a reader. It baffles me, yet it also reminded me of something that happened to me over 2 years ago. I only told Bob about it, and I attributed it to my eyes playing tricks on me, but now I am wondering if there was something to it!
Here is the email with the person's name omitted:
Hi Sharon, great to hear from you. I've had at least three experiences where I've encountered Bigfoot in a non-physical sense. In truth, there really is no other way to explain it, and I am still mystified & puzzled beyond my comprehension of what, exactly, did occur.
The first experience was at Salt Fork State Park in May, 2008, when I saw, with my own eyes, something cross the trail in front of me, less than 20 yards away. What I saw was very big, and very large, and walked upright. What I did not see, however, was any physical shape, but the merest, transparent glimmer of an outline. For several years I was extremely uneasy about even telling people what I had seen; I had no words to describe it. Then, I heard a radio programme where a former Marine described the exact same thing, and compared it to the film "Predator" where the alien creature is first seen only as a shimmering outline of sorts. That is exactly what I saw. To this day it terrifies me.
Not until this happened did I realise that bigfoot might actually be able to leave this dimension at will, or that bigfoot was, truly, a spiritual being. The indigenous peoples were right all along, as usual; I daresay I was so caught up in the physical evidence that I really downplayed the spiritual.

Does Anyone Know the Story on This Video?
To me it appears that the "eyes" do not line up and the mouth is in a frozen stable position. To me it appears fake, but I am no video expert. A reader has sent this in and would like to know a professional's opinion..a professional on video images, not Bigfoot...we won't go there today
Champ Camp
I left my home with my 18 year old daughter at 3 a.m. to make the 10 hour drive to Button Bay State Park in Vergennes, Vermont.
It was raining the entire time we drove and by the time we arrived at the camp, the rain had dissipated to a drizzle.
The camp was already set up and Craig, Mike and Diana were waiting for the others to arrive. I decided to entertain my daughter since it was raining and we took a drive towards Burlington to visit the Vermont Teddy Bear Company AND the Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory.
By the time we returned to camp, Bill Dranginis and Dave McCollough had set up camp, and Mike and Diana had the grill going with some good eats!
The camp activities began at 7 a.m. on Saturday with a yoga class on a grassy plateau overlooking the beautiful Lake Champlain. Diana Smith of the Believe it Tour is a certified yoga instructor and she took the time to guide us through the poses. It was amazing! The weather had cleared and the view was breathtaking!
We then changed into our hiking clothes and headed off to the Nature Center. We were joined by a family of 5 who were very interested in the Champ Camp activities and asked many questions of Diana who was leading the nature hike.
We headed down to the shore and Diana helped us identify fossils in the rocks. I loved this part personally. Lake Champlain used to be a body of salt water that was cut off from the rest of the ocean by glaciers millions of years ago, and just knowing that the rocks contained fossils of creatures and plant life from that time is simply fascinating!
We then returned to the camp and watched a video about the bottled water industry. It was eye-opening and informative. Craig Wooheater spoke about water ecology and what we need to do to preserve water as a natural resource on this planet.
The next presentation was on casting techniques presented by Mike Esordi and Bill Dranginis. My daughter was a participant, sticking her tiny hand into the dirt, to be cast in plaster of Paris.
While the plaster was drying, Diana Smith, who is also a micro-biologist as well as a certified yoga instructor, gave an enlightening presentation on evidence gathering. She showed us the proper way to retrieve hair and blood samples. She stressed the importance of documenting every step of your research.
It is important for Cryptozoologists to utilize scientific approaches to research in order for scientists to begin to consider our research as credible. At the onset of every outing, start making notes in your journal. What time you begin your hike, at what point you find evidence. Photograph the evidence. Write down the condition of the evidence and the circumstance in which you made the discovery. Indicate time of day, weather conditions, if there are other people in the area.
One startling revelation was that when you collect a hair or blood sample, not only do you mark and seal your evidence, but you should be storing it in the proper container.
For all of these years, we have been taking hair or blood samples and placing them in a plastic baggie. It was revealed that the hair or blood sample will be come charged by the static electricity created by the plastic and the static will eventually pull apart and destroy your sample!
The best envelope used for evidence collecting, from a forensic standpoint, is the glassine envelope. "Not only can you see through them, they are made of paper so they will also breathe. Ideal for trace evidence."
We then had a little bit of a break and Rachel and I went to a local restaurant and grabbed some lunch, when we returned it was time for arts and crafts! Bruce had returned and had set up his Taj Mahal of tents, much to the chagrin of our neighbor across the lot. 'Nuff said.
We painted our Champ Camp plaques, then donned our sailing gear to head off to Burlington to board the Spirit of Ethan Allen to embark on our voyage of Lake Champlain and to hopefully catch our glimpse of the elusive one! (No, not Abe Del Rio)
We raced through the city, tires squealing, pedestrians flying, just in time to board the SOEA. A large wedding party was boarding so we had to wait. Did I mention it was 4000 degrees outside? We finally made our way to the Lido deck, and prepared for our journey. The captain let loose of his horn without warning and we were off. The cool lake breeze whisked away the heat of the sun and we toasted each other, the Believe it Tour pirates.
Mike was fortunate enough to get an on camera interview of one of the ship's crew members, and he told tales of his sighting of the creature. Mike plans on including him in the activities next year for Champ Camp II, to be continued indeedy.
Unfortunately, we did not see the creature, but we did have about a dozen teenagers "moon" us as we passed by the Acapulco-like diving cliffs off the port side. The ship then headed back to dock and we then headed downtown for some dinner.
As luck would have it, the rain returned and put a halt to the radio show and the night canoe trip we had planned to plant Bill's underwater "eye-gotcha" system in the lake. We stayed up for a bit, huddled under the canopy tent, then retired one by one, drained from the activity filled day.
I awoke the next morning and cleaned up the camp while others slept; I am antsy like that. By 8 am the sun was burning off the morning dew and I could just tell it was going to be a scorcher.
Bill had canoed out and set his camera in the water, and I look forward to see what he captured on film!
The others arose and were heading out to the overlook to participate in Diana's yoga class and I said my goodbyes to them all. I had a long drive ahead of me and had to return to work on Monday morning.
I encourage all of you to attend next year's camp. There was talk of chartering a boat for Bill's underwater camera system and for our own Champ hunt.
Congratulations to Mike and Diana for the production of the event. It was well thought out and highly informative and entertaining. I can only imagine that Champ Camp II will be even more fun and I expect there will be more participants!

The Bigfoot Discovery Museum
Felton, California is probably one of the most beautiful towns I have ever visited and I would love to return there again this year for Bigfoot Discovery Days IV.
Guyism.com posted an article on Mike Rugg's museum a few months back noting that the museum was one of the top ten coolest roadside attractions in the United States. However, this year the museum has taken a tiny hit financially because of the road construction that has closed off access to those who would happen to just drive by and might want to stop in.
Like I said, I would love to return to see Bigfoot Discovery Days IV, and I urge you to donate to the museum to help make the event happen! Heck, you can even donate through my website and I will present Mike with a big check just like Publishers Clearinghouse!
Please send your donations to:
Michael Rugg,
Bigfoot Discovery Project
CapriTaurus
P.O. Box 153
Felton, CA 95018
If you would like to make an online donation via The Bigfoot Field Reporter you will have to use Internet Explorer if you are not logged in to google. Add a note indicating that the donation is for The Bigfoot Discovery Museum.
Enjoy Mike's video's
(Mike, I hope you don't mind!)
