In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Johnny, a logger from the Pacific Northwest, shares intriguing and unsettling encounters with Bigfoot over the years with host Jeremiah Byron. From hearing vocalizations near his home in Clear Lake, Washington, to close-up sightings in Marblemount, Johnny recounts several jaw-dropping experiences. He details a chilling encounter where a Sasquatch hit his trailer, a frightening chase involving other vehicles, and a time when he saw an enormous Sasquatch with blood-red eyes. Johnny also shares his latest sighting while mushroom picking, where he had a near face-to-face encounter with a giant Sasquatch. These stories, rooted in locations like Skagit River and the Cascades, provide a vivid glimpse into Johnny's life alongside these mysterious creatures.

you know, Johnny, I'm going to go ahead and give

24
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.640
things right over to feel free to take us back

25
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:20.879
to where we need to be when this all started

26
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:21.239
for you.

27
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:21.840
Yeah.

28
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.400
So well, I'm my name is John and go by Johnny,

29
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.480
and I've lived in the Pacific Northwest border raised and

30
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.920
go straight to my first encounter. About five and a

31
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.000
half almost six years now. I lived in a little

32
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.200
town called Clear Lake, Washington, and I was smoking cigarettes

33
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:42.959
at the time. Of course that's not a good out,

34
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.480
but I would wake up to have to go to

35
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.200
the restroom in the middle of the night, and would

36
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.079
go down and go out on my front porch because

37
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.079
most of the time it's raining, you know, whether it's

38
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.560
spring or fall. But it was early spring, and I

39
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.319
just stepped out on the porch and it was dark

40
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:02.000
and lit a cigarette and like a thousand coyotes and

41
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.480
a tiger war all at the same time to the

42
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.520
point that it felt like, now I did it vibrate me,

43
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.159
but it vibrated the front of my house, and I

44
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.520
just kind of went and just kind of just threw

45
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.759
my cigarette out in the yard and Alison locked the

46
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.599
door and I was kind of just talked to myself, Wow,

47
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.400
there ain't much I could do right now if that

48
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.560
thing wanted to come get me, because as big as

49
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.199
it sounds, I'm not messing with it.

50
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:30.400
So and it was a clear and vocal because.

51
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.479
Then I heard heavy footsteps, so it was I don't

52
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.439
know if I startled, it is what I was thinking,

53
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:41.439
probably because I noticed that in that area, when they

54
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.919
come back in the spring, whether wherever they come from,

55
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.840
they like to push trees out into the roads. You'll

56
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.199
go like a mile up certain roads and there'll be

57
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.560
a tree that the top just barely sticks out and

58
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.039
the road a couple two or three feet, and then

59
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.680
a mile or two later there'll be another one. But

60
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.560
there'd be no windstorms or anything during that time. And

61
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.199
then I almost thinking that they're marking their way that

62
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.240
they're coming back in, and I letting others know that

63
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.319
they're you know, traveling up power lines or going back

64
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.680
to wherever their feeding grounds, probably on the early spring

65
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.000
and through the summer. So and that was kind of

66
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.039
my first you know, close enough that it really I mean,

67
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.840
it really scared my pants off. And then we'll go

68
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:27.159
to my second one, and so I'm by now. I've

69
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.319
bought in a place in a small town called marble

70
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.639
Mount in Washington, and it was a heavily timbered acre

71
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.400
and a half, and being from a logging family, I

72
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.479
was really excited about it because I got it for

73
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.319
a good price and I could log it. And my

74
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.439
youngest son was staying with me fifty percent of the time,

75
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.319
and so I was driving back and forth from Marblemount

76
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.319
to clear Lake to take him to school or dropping

77
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.240
him off or pick him up. On a Friday night,

78
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:56.080
I'd having Friday till like Tuesday, and I remember it.

79
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.520
I dropped him off that day to go see his

80
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.159
mom and he would spend I think it was Tuesday through.

81
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.520
Friday or whatever it was.

82
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.240
When I picked him up and I was coming back

83
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.400
on a well traveled road out of Cedar Woollie, and

84
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.159
it was like, I'm just driving along in my little

85
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.160
Diesel Volkswagen needle and all of a sudden, a very

86
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:23.160
young adolescent sasquatch just came kind of like it. It

87
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.040
was like Michael Jordan. It must have jumped, you know,

88
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.600
fifteen or twenty yards before the road, because it came

89
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.680
down in the middle of the road and did a

90
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.000
little stutter step and then jumped again. And there was

91
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.879
probably seven of the Highland cows that were up.

92
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:40.560
Against the road.

93
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.879
You know, it was fenced along the road and it

94
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.600
cleared the highland the cattle there, and then there was

95
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.000
very tall grass that they hadn't cut for hay yet.

96
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.560
You know, it's three and a half four feet tall.

97
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:52.680
And by the time I got up to him, and

98
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.000
I probably maybe an eighth of mile was all And

99
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.920
by the time I got up there was gone. But

100
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.600
I could got a real good description of him. He

101
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:07.560
was jet black, kind of a conical head, very lengthy arms, skinny,

102
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.199
though he looked he didn't look unhealthy, but he looked

103
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.040
like he was young and skinny, you know, like everybody

104
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.199
is when they're in their youth. But and then when

105
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.600
he was stretched out his his arm stretched out, you know,

106
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.279
like when he hit it was like one arm went

107
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.000
forward and the other one went back. And I noticed

108
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:29.480
a very almost a rangutang orange under his armpit, you know,

109
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.639
like where he sweated at would be the color of

110
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.519
He was jet black and shiny as could be. And

111
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.399
as I pulled up in my Volkswagen, I'm kind of

112
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.879
looking for him and then all of a sudden, just

113
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.240
a fear come over me, and I'm like, what the

114
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:40.879
heck am I doing?

115
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:41.120
Man?

116
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.120
This thing just come out of the sky, is what

117
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.439
it's like. And you know it had to jump. I

118
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.399
would hate to say how many feet it probably jumped

119
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.639
it to arc like that, I kind of explained it

120
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.600
like if you ever watched Michael Jordan do a three

121
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.839
pointer when he hits the top of the key and

122
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.319
it seems like he's just floating up, up and up,

123
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.519
and then as he as he comes down that arc,

124
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:03.519
that's exactly what I got.

125
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.519
To see him hit a double step and go.

126
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.000
So that was my second encounter, about the same year

127
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:16.079
as I had the screamer on the front porch. So

128
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.000
then we'll go to the next one I have, which

129
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.319
again is about two years later. And I've been actively

130
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.040
logging my property and of course traveling my son back

131
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.959
and forth. And it was Friday, and then I picked

132
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.879
him up and we'd always barbecue, and it's summer, and

133
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.920
I live in an area where there's a lot of bearers,

134
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.759
and there's some cougars and boll cats.

135
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.040
And and sasquatch. I mean.

136
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.360
Many at times I've heard him screaming in the back

137
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.839
or getting in fights amongst themselves where you'll it'll sound

138
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.000
like very much a female and yelling at something and

139
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.319
then they'll yell back and forth, and you know, me

140
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.360
and my son look at each other and go whoa.

141
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.199
And I go, yeah, that's that's fast, squatch. That's nothing

142
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.160
else does that. So when we were.

143
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:11.279
Where my property is, it's heavily wooded from the power

144
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.800
lines all the way to the Scadget River, and so

145
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.279
there was really from the power lines to the river,

146
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.120
there wasn't anywhere that you know, they could go through

147
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:21.079
there and not be seen.

148
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:21.560
Well.

149
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.480
Unfortunately, my acre and a half had big timber on

150
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.800
fifty two inches on the butt my second growth for

151
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.240
unlock a lot of here, and so I logged it.

152
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.639
And at the time I was living.

153
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.879
In my fifth will, which was a toy hauler, and

154
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.160
like a regular Friday night, we had dinner and we

155
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.839
went to bed about ten thirty eleven and about two

156
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.839
thirty three, me and my son were woken, which at

157
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.360
first I thought that my trailer got hit by a

158
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.439
car that come off the highway. They did actually hit

159
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.759
my trailer because it through me and kind of like

160
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.720
I was slammed my feet where you know, I lay

161
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.560
on my back, so my feet went up against the wall.

162
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.839
It stood me up out of a dead sleep, like

163
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.120
something hit the trailer that hard. And my son, he

164
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.959
was slammed into the wall. He was just he was,

165
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.439
and we both were kind of dazed and we kind

166
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.920
of went I literally felt like the trailer's wheels left

167
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.959
the ground on that side, and so I thought a

168
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.600
car hit. You know, sound asleep, maybe I didn't hear

169
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.839
the crash. And I went to open up that door.

170
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.240
My son goes, Dad, don't, don't, don't open that door.

171
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.440
And I go, why Son? He goes, no, it's a squatch.

172
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.360
He says, no, it's a squatch. Dad, I know it is.

173
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.000
He goes I can feel him, and I go, what do.

174
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:40.440
You mean, Keith.

175
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.200
He goes, no, don't go outside. It's it's not a car. Seriously, Dad,

176
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.399
it's it's a you know, kind of a swear word.

177
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:48.879
And I kind of jumped him about it, but he was,

178
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:49.879
it's a squatch.

179
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:50.720
It's Dad. I hit that.

180
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.360
I hit that wall so hard, and so where his

181
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.080
bed is is. I gave him the larger bed that

182
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:00.279
raises up and down that you raise up, put your

183
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.480
four wheelers in, and you travel with it up. Well,

184
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.480
when it's down, it sits about right in the middle

185
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:09.279
of that wall. Now, when that's the asquatch hit that

186
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.720
like a probably a football player put his shoulder into it.

187
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.720
It actually broke both walls.

188
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.360
And I still have pictures of my phone today where

189
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.559
you look at my fifth will and it's like something

190
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.000
bulged it out back there where it literally sticks out

191
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.759
like six inches farther and six inches in where it hit.

192
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:34.200
And unfortunately, the grounds so rocky up there no footprints

193
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:38.799
at all. And so that was them kind of letting

194
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.200
me know. I believe that they were not real happy

195
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.440
about their super highway there being long. And it wasn't

196
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.440
soon after that that I happened to be sitting in

197
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.639
my toy haller and was I think having a snack

198
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.759
or a cup of coffee, and it was dark out,

199
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.080
just about dark dusk, the same here, but it was

200
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:05.480
more in the fall and older sasquatched. It was probably

201
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:08.840
around seven and a half feet, but very gray, very

202
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:12.480
much a gray almost reminded me of like an old

203
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.879
gray poodle color, like when the blacks starts to turn gray.

204
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:21.080
Salt and pepper and it probably four steps, made it

205
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.679
through an acre and a half. But I can remember

206
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.600
as I watched him, it was one, two three, and

207
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.279
he looked over at my trailer and he had a

208
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.639
look on his face like he was so sad, Like

209
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.559
he was visibly sad. He looked like, oh, you know,

210
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:38.879
what's he doing here?

211
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.480
Like you know, wow.

212
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.279
That kind of struck me, you know, kind of you

213
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:49.000
know that they have intelligence and they do recognize obviously

214
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.519
when they're a little super highway there that they ran

215
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.320
back and forth from the power lines. It has been logged,

216
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.759
I'm sure between the one boatdog and the trailer and

217
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.519
then the old one that was expecting to probably come

218
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.200
out in the woods like it always has. And well

219
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:09.120
it's clear cut. I'm quite sad. And so then that's

220
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.240
that one. And then we're going to go to about

221
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.480
a year later. So this has probably been about two

222
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.799
years ago. And unfortunately, or not unfortunately, but I like

223
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.879
to go to the casino. And so the back way

224
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:26.279
to the casino from Marble Mountain is five thirty and

225
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.120
that goes back through Darrington and you know, you can

226
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.960
go back and into Arlington and you can go to

227
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.639
Angel the Wind's Casino. Will I like to go really

228
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:40.039
early in the morning, usually on weeknight, to go gamble.

229
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:40.440
A little well.

230
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.600
On my way back, I was coming back where there's

231
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.080
a road about halfway down the five thirty in between

232
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.120
Rockport and Darrington where you can cross over to get

233
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.159
to the South s Gadget Highway. The Scadget down well

234
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.360
as I was coming up, and it's a fairly sharp curve,

235
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:59.360
you know, to watch it, just slow down at me

236
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:05.200
think it is forty miles an hour. I noticed a

237
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:10.200
this truck come out and it was local natives and

238
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:14.879
they are allowed to net the socks toaddle, and so

239
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.720
the truck comes out and doesn't even stop, and obviously

240
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:19.600
they could see that I'm coming, but I mean it

241
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.639
just peels around the corner, just sideways, and bodies are

242
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:25.120
rolling out of the back.

243
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.159
You know that they normally tie on the one end

244
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:27.799
of their nets.

245
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.559
And then as I get closer, this Volkswagen Jetna comes

246
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.519
out and the windows are down and I can clearly

247
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.639
see that they're Native and they come around the corner

248
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.639
and I mean they're they're flooring it. And so I'm

249
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.960
just slowed down by that guy's already slowing down to

250
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:47.080
forty and then the big boy that was right behind

251
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:50.840
him come out behind him, and it was a very

252
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.679
large male Sasquatch, and it really startled me because of

253
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.360
the size.

254
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:00.279
I mean he was.

255
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:05.919
He was enormous, I mean two steps across that road

256
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.440
and it was no effort, and he had blood red

257
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.960
eyes and they were the size of cubeballs, and he

258
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:13.799
stared right at me, and he was mad.

259
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.639
He was on them natives.

260
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.799
And I think, you know, maybe this is just my opinion,

261
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:24.039
but I've heard that through other tribes that they will

262
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.200
actually come in when they're netting. The locals kind of

263
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.919
know that they're hungry, and so they noted they pull

264
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:31.679
their debts in and leave them some fish and then

265
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.679
give them some space, and they will actually come in

266
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.159
and gather fish. And I think these guys didn't have

267
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.480
any fish to give. And I think it was not

268
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.639
happy because it was right I mean, it was right

269
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.720
behind them, and and what you could tell it was

270
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:49.919
it was determined to try to snatch one of them,

271
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.600
or try to hit the car or something. And then

272
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.240
I startled it, and it was mad at me, and

273
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.960
then it went off the road and I kept going.

274
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.159
Now that really, you know, I'm scared that living crap out.

275
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.759
I mean, so I floor it. I'm going to try

276
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.120
to catch these guys. Not to say that I'm an

277
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:10.440
habitual speeder, but my little car was a Mercedes. So

278
00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:14.879
I'm doing one hundred and fifteen to finally catch up

279
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.039
to these people. And it's pretty straight and I mean this,

280
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.559
and I'm smelling annie freeze and I'm seeing smoke finally

281
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.799
come out. I'm finally catching up to the jetto, which

282
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:25.480
was the last one.

283
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.000
And as I.

284
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.320
Got right up behind it finally and before they turned off,

285
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:32.360
the motor was blown. I mean, the anti freeze was

286
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.919
pouring out oil, smoke. I mean, they're and where they

287
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.440
pulled off. I pulled in next to them, and they

288
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.440
just pulled off and then they were kind of halfway

289
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.399
went in the driveway, and I looked at him and

290
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.360
I said, are you guys okay? And they just they

291
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.759
did not want to talk to me. They were white

292
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.679
as ghosts. They said, get out of here. We don't

293
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.240
I don't know what you're talking about. We don't want

294
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.480
to talk to you, don't want to see you, blah

295
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.720
blah blah. But they were you could tell that they

296
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:06.879
were scared, that that encounter that they have was probably scary,

297
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.879
like real scary. And believing the size of that sasquatch

298
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:14.159
and the look he had on his face, you know,

299
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:17.000
I would have been scared too, because it meant business.

300
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:17.360
It was.

301
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:22.039
It was not a happy camper. And so that's uh,

302
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.039
a few of them that I've had, and if you

303
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.279
want me to keep going, I have a couple more,

304
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.399
and that would probably be about it.

305
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.000
I got a few questions that last one. I mean,

306
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.360
that's just that's you said, that's just two years ago.

307
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.080
Yeah, yeah, two years ago.

308
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:49.240
Yeh goodness. And and you literally see a huge, angry

309
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:57.440
male sasquatch chasing after these vehicles down down the road.

310
00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:58.399
Holy mackerel.

311
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.519
Yeah, and they were and they were netting at that time,

312
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.879
in which they usually do.

313
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:09.320
And yeah, I mean I was. I was floored by that.

314
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:11.559
And then the funny thing is is I was going

315
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.720
two days later, I was going the other direction through

316
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.960
that ass curve and I don't know if it was

317
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.799
maybe it's just me. A bird that normally would not

318
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:28.679
be out at night was thrown at my I mean,

319
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.720
it just came out of nowhere and just smacked my

320
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.639
window right smack in the middle of the driver's window,

321
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.840
like something was thrown a baseball at me.

322
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.240
But it was a bird.

323
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.440
And I was like, whoa, I mean, and I went,

324
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.120
there's no birds out here, you know, because again I

325
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:46.679
was on my way to the casino and I had

326
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.480
a good night the day that I saw the big

327
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.200
male Sas squats and I actually think it recognized my car,

328
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.919
and I think it chucked the bird at me.

329
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:58.399
I really do, because I hit my so hard.

330
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.360
I mean, it was for me being and it was

331
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:02.399
like it had some philosophy behind it, and there was

332
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.920
no way that little brown bird you know you usually

333
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.880
see jumping around the bushes, I don't see him fly

334
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.039
that path. So that's just my feelings of it. But yeah,

335
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:12.480
and I kind of went, wow, that's kind of weird.

336
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.359
So I started kicking a long way after that for

337
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:15.000
a while.

338
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:18.079
Yeah.

339
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.200
The the Sas question that you saw, you know, running

340
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.319
after these vehicles, and and you'd mentioned that it had

341
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.480
blood red eyes. Do you remember any other details of

342
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:33.319
the face of it.

343
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.359
It was it was a not so much of a

344
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.920
conical head, but it was it was just massive. I mean,

345
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.359
this thing had to be oh, I would say twelve

346
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:50.119
hundred pounds. It was a it was huge. All I

347
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:52.799
know is is that it literally looked like it was walking.

348
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.079
We took three steps to make it cross the road,

349
00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.240
and I mean I was like, and then have it.

350
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:00.920
And when it turned around and it looked at me,

351
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:03.839
it looked at me with hatred anger. You could just

352
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.480
see it was. It was pissed. It didn't show any

353
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.920
teeth or anything, but those eyes. I just I remember

354
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:11.680
those eyes. And I could remember that look on his

355
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.880
face of just discussed, like, you know, this guy just

356
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:18.480
spoiled my You know, I'm not eating here today because

357
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.079
of these three vehicles he or you know, whatever it

358
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.000
took place, you could just tell he was not happy

359
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.759
and so and I remember how big he was because

360
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.000
he kind of turned sideways.

361
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.160
My god, he was.

362
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.480
His chest was you know, the width of his chest

363
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.000
was brighter than my car, you know, I mean he

364
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.960
was huge. In the legs they were like as big

365
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.720
as telephone bolts. I mean, this thing was absolutely massive,

366
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.200
very long, hair, kind of a blackish with a red

367
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.960
kind of in it. And yeah, it just, uh, it

368
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.480
kind of floored me. And I'm I love Native American descent.

369
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:01.039
O GiB ojibaweh All my mother side didn't find out

370
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:05.319
after she passed away because of the fishing and the

371
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.279
boat decision here in Washington State and where the natives

372
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.519
were allowed to net didn't sit well with the locals.

373
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.759
So the family members were told not to tell anybody

374
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:19.319
that they were dated just because people would get beat

375
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.160
up and you know, stuff would happen. So I didn't

376
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.920
even know. That's how well the secret it was kept in,

377
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:31.200
you know. And I've heard that tribes have interactions when

378
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:35.279
they're netting with Sasquatch, and.

379
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:39.440
I know some are on the.

380
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:41.880
Well west side the coronault in them and they don't

381
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:43.720
get anybody around when they're neddy.

382
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:44.920
They don't let any locals.

383
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.200
They don't let any white people because they do they'll

384
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.759
come in and start shaking trees and raising the little hell,

385
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.640
you know, to bring in a net full of fish.

386
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.880
So that's just one of my you know, my thoughts.

387
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.400
I'm sure that one was quite mad, because yeah, I

388
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.799
wouldn't want to run into that one. And there's also

389
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.160
a rumor that says on the five thirty that the

390
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.680
east side of the highway is the devil Squatches side

391
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.920
say that there's a if you're picking mushrooms, you don't

392
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.480
want to pick on the east side of that road.

393
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.640
You want to pick on the west side. If you

394
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:24.799
get in on the east side, something will run you

395
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:27.680
out of there and it's not very friendly. And so

396
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.680
I've always kept heed to that because I picked mushrooms

397
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.359
in that area too, And then I'll go to one

398
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:37.119
more in town, and then I'll stay with a couple

399
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:38.480
more for our next one.

400
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:39.160
If you don't.

401
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.519
Mind, absolutely go right ahead.

402
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:46.119
Just this year, of course, it's shantrall season and I

403
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.880
love chantrell. So we're picking right off the five thirty,

404
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:53.599
just past the Sox throattle tribe, which is you know,

405
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.279
I won't get the it's general area, good mushroom picking

406
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.160
all over in there. And so we're picking mushrooms. It's

407
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.559
hot out, you know, it's the middle of summer. It's

408
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.400
you know, and we can hear the birds and the

409
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.720
squirrels are kind of chirping at us because they're mad

410
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.480
because you know, we're picking mushrooms and they like to

411
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.200
run you offward thing they do. And we're back in

412
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:17.000
there quiet ways all day to football fields and kind

413
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.039
of dance, you know, the bonding. Maples are kind of

414
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.359
being in pain, and me and my girlfriend at the

415
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.680
time just kind of noticed it got silent, and she goes,

416
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.799
you know, it just got quiet, and I said, well,

417
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:31.960
you're right kind of you know, feeling like the hair

418
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.720
raises up on your neck and you kind of feel uneasy.

419
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.200
I felt uneasy, but I didn't feel fear, you know,

420
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:41.279
I felt like it's time to go.

421
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:41.839
You know.

422
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.160
It's like that feeling where it's time to exit the woods.

423
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.519
Nothing needs to tell you, it's just you know. So

424
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:51.759
we worked our way back out and picking mushrooms all

425
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.200
the way out. I had her sit in the car

426
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:56.039
and I said, hey, I'm going to walk down this

427
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.279
little spur road here because I found some really nice

428
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.000
ones along behind these really big trees. And these fir

429
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.799
trees are you know, fifty two fifty three inches on

430
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.119
the bed, so they're pretty good second growth, you know,

431
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:09.720
they're not an old growth, but big second growth. And

432
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:12.119
so I'm walking back towards and of course we're on

433
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.920
the side on the east side, we're on the west side,

434
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.119
so you know, we're not going to run a devil

435
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.079
squatch as they call him, and I just happen to

436
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.039
be walking, and just before I get to this real

437
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:28.920
big fur excuse me cough, I happen to see something

438
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:34.680
g listen in the sunlight. And it's probably thirty five

439
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.880
feet away from me, and it'll grow stump. It has

440
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.240
some ferns growing out of it. You could see where

441
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.799
they had their springboards in when they cut it back

442
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:46.240
in then it was eighteen sixties or whatever. It's a

443
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:52.640
very large stump and there's a Sasquatch. It's sitting there

444
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.680
with his arms and his face is right on his hands,

445
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:01.000
and he's as tall as the stump is stumps. When

446
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.880
I went back and measured, it was just a little

447
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:09.039
under ten foot and so he was sitting there, so

448
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:13.440
he was dark near probably pretty close to eleven and

449
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:15.480
a half feet is when I figured how big he

450
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.480
was unless he was standing on something. His head was huge,

451
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:25.759
very ape looking rang a king, but very black, readily skin,

452
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:31.279
very dark, dark black eyes. But that's what that's what

453
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.160
made me see him, because I would not have seen

454
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.400
him if it wasn't his eyes listened in the sun.

455
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:39.319
I just happened to step right where the sun reflected

456
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:39.720
off his.

457
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:41.839
Eyes, and I went, what is that?

458
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:44.519
And then I went as I stared a little bit longer,

459
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.240
and I'm like what And then when you get that

460
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:50.559
moment my cell phones in my back pocket, You think

461
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:52.160
I would have pulled that out and took a picture.

462
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:52.480
No.

463
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.400
I sat there and went, holy cow, that thing is huge.

464
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.920
It wasn't menacing. It never blinked, an eyeball removed and

465
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:05.240
muscle and I was like, holy cow, that one's big.

466
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:08.799
And I go, it didn't seem aggressive, but it was

467
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:12.480
watching me. And so I sat and stared at it

468
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.200
and stared at it, and I went, wow, this is

469
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.799
really crazy. I'm like within thirty five feet of a

470
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:21.079
very large sasquatch. I mean, this one, this is real.

471
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.000
This is you know, you're almost like face to face

472
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.440
of this thing. And it's like nonchalantly just sitting there

473
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:28.079
with his arms on top of that stump and his

474
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:29.720
head kind of pushed in through the ferns.

475
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:31.599
And I'm like Jesus.

476
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.640
When I didn't know really what to do, because I

477
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.839
didn't feel threatened, you know, I kind of had that

478
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:40.680
feeling it was time to leave the woods. So I

479
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:44.119
went ahead and stepped past that fir tree and kind

480
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:46.240
of peeked my head around and see if he's still there.

481
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:51.440
And he was gone, And what really blew me away

482
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:55.599
is he didn't make one sound. There wasn't a tree break,

483
00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:00.640
there wasn't a crunch, nothing. It was gone and never

484
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:05.759
made a sound. And that floored me. And I literally

485
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:09.480
went and got in the car and started to drive away,

486
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.440
and I told my girlfriend about it. She goes, I

487
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.960
felt like there was something that was kind of watching

488
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:15.880
us out there for a while. I said, so did I,

489
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:18.880
But I thought maybe it was a cougar or something.

490
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.559
And no, it was just a very large sasquatch. Whether

491
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:27.119
it be female or male, I don't know, but that

492
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:30.640
was that was one that kind of yeah, kind of

493
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.880
the oh wow moment. I'm not in the top of

494
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:34.680
the food chain here.

495
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:35.240
You know.

496
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:41.319
It wasn't aggressive, but definitely kind of puts you back

497
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.640
when you see something that large that actually lives in

498
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:50.640
the Pacific Northwest and coming from a logging family, this

499
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:57.440
log since the nineteen forties. All my cousins and uncles,

500
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.519
you can ask them about sasquatching. There is the word

501
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.319
that they've never seen one, never seen a footprint, nothing.

502
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.319
And tell you the truth, all the logging jobs I

503
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:09.960
was on, all those years, we would never see a

504
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:15.559
footprint or anything. So that's kind of I'm swear I'm

505
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.319
gonna tie it up right there. That's kind of the

506
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:21.799
meat of the fact. And then I have a few

507
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:24.160
more that's happened here now. That one was just this

508
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:28.079
last summer. Everybody knows, and like I said, the area

509
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:32.880
is the Cascades, you know, Highway twenty and five thirty,

510
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:34.839
and so those are my.

511
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:39.039
Close and personal counters up to this point.

512
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.039
And then I got a couple more two to share

513
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:44.079
with you, maybe another episode if that works for you.

514
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:47.960
Absolutely, I mean, those are some some wild stories, and

515
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.960
thank you so much for sharing. Johnny. Yeah, I do

516
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:57.079
have to ask you while you're you're here in this one.

517
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:02.279
You know, you've had a few sightings over the years,

518
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.759
and you know when when someone is like Johnny, you know,

519
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.599
a bigfoot or sasquatch, you know, what is it that

520
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.000
we're looking at out there? What is it that you saw?

521
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:16.279
How would you explain it? Is it more of a

522
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:21.160
some kind of ape or maybe some kind of human.

523
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.240
You know, it's it's it's kind of a very I

524
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:28.759
call them a North American aide. I mean, they're they're

525
00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:30.960
they're not an eighth. They don't really have an eight.

526
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:35.680
They don't really have a chimpanzeely some have a conical head. Summer,

527
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.839
you know, have different things. And then from our from

528
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:44.519
being ojibaway from Upper Wisconsin, you know there's interactions there

529
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:47.000
that you hear through fork you know, folklora, and there's

530
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:51.359
I guess several different species. I'm not an investigator or

531
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:53.519
I don't go out to try to find these. I'm

532
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:58.880
usually out in the woods either cut firewood, hunting, logging,

533
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.960
or just minding my own business, picking mushrooms or rock

534
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:06.680
hounting or doing a little gold panning or something.

535
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:09.200
And that's why I live where I live.

536
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:12.640
There is I can four wheel, I can be a

537
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.279
baker or Shannon Lake with my ski boat in forty

538
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.880
five minutes, and I can enjoy the outdoors. I wasn't

539
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:21.880
expecting to run into any of these or see any

540
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.400
of those. And just the last five years has been

541
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:32.559
mind boggling phenomenal. I mean it's left me speechless. I've

542
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.160
always been a believer. Of course, the Gimling film, and

543
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:38.480
you know, I always knew there was something out there

544
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:40.200
because I could hear him scream. I've heard a lot

545
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:44.839
of vocals throughout the years and tell you see one,

546
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.640
it's kind of really it'll put you back because they

547
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:55.599
are very large, very smart, very intelligent. You know, they

548
00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:00.440
have facial features and from the vocalizations I've heard when

549
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.480
I've I've heard a couple of them getting scolded by

550
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:09.079
one and one that was chasing those two poor natives

551
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:11.799
or those natives that were netting there. I felt bad

552
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.480
for them guys, because the look of fear in their

553
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:19.400
faces was was was some I'll remember for a long time.

554
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:22.799
You just don't know, you don't see that kind of

555
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.720
fear in people. I mean, were they're literally pasting painted

556
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:29.759
white and there they're they're want nothing to do with you.

557
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.720
They don't want to even remember what just happened, you know.

558
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.799
Oh absolutely, I mean I don't think i'd ever I'd

559
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:40.279
ever forget something like that if if I was able

560
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:43.240
to be in a situation like that, either side of it,

561
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:47.039
I mean your side or their side, really, either side

562
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.480
has has got to be crazy to be part of.

563
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:53.240
But you know, Johnny, thank you so much for for

564
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:57.200
coming on the show the first time and sharing what

565
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:01.599
you've experienced. And this is an area of Washington we

566
00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:04.599
don't actually hear a lot of so it's pretty special

567
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.000
to to have you on to I think this is

568
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.759
our first time maybe even hearing from Marble Mountain. But yeah,

569
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:14.240
thank you, thank you so much. We'll be in touch

570
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:19.119
for sure to have you on again to h to

571
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:23.759
maybe share some more about what you've experienced over the years.

572
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:25.000
Yeah.

573
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.599
And then I also have a roommate, unfortunate that passed

574
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:32.000
away here recently of cancer, and he'd had several encounters

575
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.519
in that area and in areas of Montana where he

576
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:38.759
worked at and he shared those with me. And you

577
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:43.839
don't find me stories next time. Absolutely, they're pretty wild too.

578
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:46.880
So yeah, but hey, I appreciate your time Jere in Miami,

579
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:50.039
you know, I really do. And by no means that

580
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:53.720
I ever expect that this happened to me, But you know,

581
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:59.480
they they are out there, and you know this. When

582
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.680
you get that feeling that it's time to leave, it's

583
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:04.960
time to believe. And you know, if you ever come

584
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:07.279
across one, I don't know. I just always kind of

585
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:09.920
just went, oh boy, that one that I got close to,

586
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:13.519
I just kind of slowly moved in my recall, right,

587
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.799
and then I didn't go mushroom picking the rest of

588
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:18.960
the year there, yeah, so.

589
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:23.279
And then and contemplating on maybe not going this next year.

590
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:24.680
You know, I'm kind of thing him, Man, that's a

591
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:26.319
good place, but I don't know if I want to

592
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:26.720
go back.

593
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:28.279
Yeah is it that good though?

594
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:31.279
You know, you never know, but yeah, yeah, right, there's

595
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:32.640
a lot very up there.

596
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:33.440
Yeah yeah.

597
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.119
But anyway, I do appreciate your time to your mind, yes, sir,

598
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:38.839
and you have a.

599
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:40.799
Have a good rest of your birthday, Johnny.

600
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.720

601
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:45.119
