It is a few episodes back, but he's he's over there.

18
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.759
Head guy at ben Bigfoot Research Group on Facebook. It's

19
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.560
a great group to check out if you're in trusted

20
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:05.879
in the Bend area and surrounding area of Oregon. A

21
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.000
lot of really good stuff going on over there. But

22
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.959
how's it going, Randy?

23
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.920
Good, good, Jeremiah, thanks for having me.

24
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.840
Yeah, I man, I had such a good chat with

25
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:16.359
you last time. I was like, man, we got to

26
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.920
get Randy on the show. And you know, I've been

27
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:26.120
having a lot of really interesting episodes about this area.

28
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.959
And also I've been getting kind of on a kick

29
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.079
about the Oregon Bigfoot Highway and just starting to realize

30
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:41.920
how this all connects with Silverton and Malala and Esticada

31
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.640
and then you take the Oregon Bigfoot Highway through Ripplebrook

32
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.640
and it's just it's nuts up there.

33
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:48.079
Dude.

34
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.599
It is great. You're absolutely right. There's so much great activity.

35
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.120
Even with the fires. I think there's still some great

36
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.280
activity happening. I think there's uh maybe even a migration

37
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.040
using that route. It's easy access to the east and

38
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:05.599
west side.

39
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.000
So yeah, oh through that, uh, through that that piece

40
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.479
of the Oregon Big Fool Highway, you think maybe yeah, yeah,

41
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.520
oh man, where are the big fires right now out there?

42
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:28.599
Well, the biggest ones this past summer and fall were

43
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.680
they were mostly down south.

44
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.319
And east of US.

45
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.680
I don't recall anything crazy in the Detroit or the

46
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.879
McKenzie area this year, So that's good. I should say

47
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:52.120
of twenty four everything else was south and southwest of

48
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.680
central Oregon, so I think the north.

49
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.400
Side again s a caada not so bad if every all.

50
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.879
Absolutely. How are things going on with the Ben Bigfoot

51
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:07.840
Research Group for you?

52
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:09.240
Good?

53
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:14.719
Good? We got We're doing probably every other month.

54
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.000
We're doing our squatch and brew to have a meeting,

55
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.919
try to have some good content. Also let people share

56
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.479
questions and any stories anything they want to talk about. Again,

57
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.639
I have decided it's a safe environment as well as

58
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:29.560
the group for.

59
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.280
People sometimes to share their story, much like you.

60
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.319
It's a platform for people to feel comfortable and not

61
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.520
be criticized for something they may have.

62
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.439
Experienced in the woods. So it's going well.

63
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.879
I have a meeting coming up in April that I'm

64
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.120
getting excited about. I do have a new report that

65
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:53.159
I've been following up on in the Ochko's just east

66
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.400
of Ben, probably an hour and a half. This gentleman

67
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.120
was referred to me. He is uh his pastime, he

68
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.400
loves he's a rockhount loves going up and picking for rocks.

69
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.080
And he was up there late January on a south

70
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.159
facing hill that was exposed where he could kind of

71
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.039
pick it some rocks.

72
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.040
It's his favorite pastime.

73
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.240
And where it was clear from snow, and he goes

74
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.800
up there to get away and he had something mimicking

75
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.439
his picking, and it kind of surprised him.

76
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:28.879
He wasn't sure it was an echo, but.

77
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:35.360
He is way up in the Ochko's away from any human,

78
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:40.360
especially in the winter, and so he would try to

79
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.279
change up to picking noise and change the rhythm, and

80
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.399
whatever was coming from the ravine would mimic the exact

81
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.639
rhythm that he replicated, or did, I should say.

82
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:53.360
So he got a little nervous.

83
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.839
This was late January, so he kind of high tailed

84
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.000
a back down this snowy hill back to his truck,

85
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.720
and it needed to mimic him while he was walking away.

86
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.720
He thought that was kind of a nerving and he

87
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.199
reached out to b f Ro and that was he

88
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:13.600
was referred to me. So we had a conversation and

89
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.120
I said, when the weather gets a little better, I

90
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.399
like to go out with you. Well he went up

91
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:22.959
just last week on a Friday, and Susie uh got

92
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.120
back into cell service running back to town.

93
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.040
He called me right away and you got to you

94
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:28.720
gotta come here. This this is nuts.

95
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.560
So I went up on Saturday, and what he experienced

96
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.879
on Friday was a vocalization coming from the same origin

97
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:40.519
as the mimicking with a whistle, followed by an opposing whistle,

98
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:42.759
and it shook him up.

99
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.079
So I went up with him on Saturday to the location.

100
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.839
Very remote, there is cover, there is water, and there

101
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.680
is probably a herd of let's say eighty to one

102
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.680
hundred elk right now in that spot, so a lot

103
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.600
you know, it touched a lot of box for being

104
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.600
a perfect location and habitat for that moment. So kind

105
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.879
of he's gonna go back up again. I recommended to

106
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:14.279
him to keep obviously to keep safe, but also to

107
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.680
be predictable and he might have more experiences. You know,

108
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.240
take the same vehicle, same time of day, which he does.

109
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.879
He wears the same coat, kind of goes in the

110
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.319
same area head down looking for rocks, you know. So

111
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.920
who knows. But that's my latest and greatest as far

112
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:33.879
as Central organ.

113
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.120
That's that's awesome. That's an area where I haven't I

114
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:39.959
don't think I've really talked to a lot of people

115
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.079
from the the Ochaco National Forest, correct.

116
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.800
Correct, I have multiple reports from that area. It's a

117
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.800
very very productive area, like the Spanish Peak area, the

118
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.439
Antne Ranch if you got your map up, kind of

119
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.240
hone in on Spanish Peak, between Spanish Peak and Dave Bill.

120
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.639
I've got some reports that came to me from hunters,

121
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.160
boat hunters and rifle hunters of all had experiences there.

122
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.000
It's a really it can be really sick. There's there's

123
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.680
Murder's Creek, Black Canyon, which you know just just goes

124
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:18.920
names alone are very alluring.

125
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:21.879
Yeah, it's a great area.

126
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.519
I just don't have the resources to cover that area

127
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.160
as thoroughly as I should.

128
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.160
Yeah, and that's that's what it comes down to at

129
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.680
the end of the day, is resources for sure, your

130
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.279
time and et cetera. But so this Ochaco area, is

131
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.639
it kind of like a connecting area to I mean

132
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.360
it kind of looks like it could be from to

133
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.040
Shoots over to like u Matilla in in that area.

134
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:49.759
Yeah.

135
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.720
Yeah, it is actually the tail end of the Blues,

136
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:58.079
I mean really zoom out. It kind of hopscotches to

137
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.199
the Blues, which, of course, as well know is such

138
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.319
a great area as well the Blue Mountains. But yeah,

139
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.839
it's kind of the game way into the Blue Mountains

140
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.920
head to eastern northeastern Oregon.

141
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:16.240
Absolutely. I mean Oregon is just a crazy crazy, so

142
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.120
crazy they're going to put on my tombstone. He never

143
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:25.639
made it to Washington because Oregon is so crazy.

144
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.639
Yeah, yeah, we got some great stuff. We're very fortunate,

145
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.959
you know, in Washington does too for sure.

146
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:36.399
But uh yeah, Oregon is just you know, for me,

147
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.600
it's you know, it's location and and how how much

148
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.360
can I cover within an hour and an hour and

149
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.440
a half. That's kind of my radius. But you're right,

150
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.399
you know, just there's there's some really great stuff happening here,

151
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.399
especially as you you know, you've been covering the Oak

152
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.759
Ridge area. S The cada is great, you know, oak Ridge,

153
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.120
I'm starting to learn is some gosh darn, It's got

154
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.519
some really untapped areas that I'm still learning. And I'm

155
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:11.000
getting reports. You know, some of these are older reports

156
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.279
or even secondhand reports from hunters who won't.

157
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.480
Go in that area. So and that tells me that's

158
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:18.399
the area I need to be in.

159
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.679
No, oak Oakridge is crazy, And I mean I've talked

160
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.679
to an individual from Cottage Grove and you know, up

161
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.320
she was talking about some things that happen up at

162
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.320
Blair Lake, which is closer. You know, it's going east

163
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:36.120
away from Oakridge. But man, that area is just a wild, wild,

164
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.679
wild time. But you know, I've started to look more

165
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.879
also a little north of Oakridge as well, been talking

166
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.399
to people up there, and I had reached out to

167
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:56.559
you because of just curious about the Subtle Lake area. Yeah,

168
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.840
have you checked that area out?

169
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:07.200
I have, so one of my very first report that

170
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.320
I didn't know exactly what to do with because at

171
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.279
that time it was a passive hobby, more of a

172
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.960
curiosity of Sasquatch. It was enough for me to be

173
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.600
made fun of at work if I brought it up,

174
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.519
which I didn't care. I have no humility, And so

175
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:27.559
my first report came to me from Subtle Lake. Actually

176
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:34.360
it was just south of the entrance of Subtle Lake.

177
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:40.960
July of two thousand and sixteen, about two two thirty

178
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.919
in the morning of gentlemen was coming home from a

179
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.279
family union slash lead funeral. He was heading back to

180
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.639
ben to be at work that morning, and he left

181
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.480
me a voicemail. This is a coworker. He left me

182
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.360
a voicemail right about two thirty in the morning, which

183
00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:59.000
he never does.

184
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.279
You know, he doesn't call me at all hours.

185
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.799
And so he left the boismail saying, Randy, I always

186
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:06.799
kind of laughed at you and your hobby or you're

187
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.440
curious about bigfoot, but I won't laugh anymore because something

188
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.720
very tall and harry just ran in front of my

189
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.039
pickup just past Subtle Lake entrance.

190
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.480
So with that report.

191
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:21.720
That that kind of got my fire going. So that's

192
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.960
my first report a Class A. And it was running.

193
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.360
If you're looking at the map Highway twenty, it ran

194
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:35.120
from east to west. He slowed down, it crossed his

195
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.080
headlights and then went up the bank on the west

196
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.000
side and then grabbed the tree and stood behind the tree,

197
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:47.480
but watched him as he drove by. So he slowed

198
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.879
the speed of his vehicle to about thirty to twenty

199
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.320
five miles per hour because he wanted to know what

200
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.360
the heck was on two feet that just ran across

201
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:59.919
the highway in three strides, and it appeared to be

202
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:04.000
staring at him as he went by. So it shook

203
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.360
him up enough. And this is very much a very

204
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:12.919
non believer too. Now he's you know, curious about the topic.

205
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.080
So that's my that's my very first one to class A.

206
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.240
Just passed.

207
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.039
That is Jack Lake Road, which is almost across from

208
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:29.559
the entrance from Subtle Lake. Jack Lake Road. Beautiful prints

209
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:31.639
were found in the snow in the eighties from a

210
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.639
friend of mine while Christmas tree hunting with her father

211
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.240
a large trackway. They quickly packed up the left she

212
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.480
had the kids were small at the time and her

213
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.320
father was a logger, and he goes, we don't want

214
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:48.679
to be in this area. Later on, in about two

215
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:54.759
twenty eighteen, I was on an expedition near Jack Lake,

216
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.440
which is just right up the road from Subtle on

217
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:02.080
the poor service Road. Had a will call back from

218
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:07.480
something and if you keep going further north, there is

219
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.720
a spot called Candle Creek. There's a trailhead it takes

220
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.200
up to Cabot Lake and the day hike up there

221
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.480
and we were surrounded by knocks up there, tree knocks.

222
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:25.559
So yeah, I personally have had that happen. I've collected

223
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:31.320
multiple reports from Candle Creek, including a vocalization coming across

224
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.600
a canyon from the reservation side the Warm Spring Preservation,

225
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.279
a gentleman reported to me. And then closer back to

226
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:46.519
Subtle Lake, a little bit further up Highway twenty south west,

227
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.960
there's a lake called Link Lake.

228
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:55.559
I've had two reports from Link Lake vocalizations and a Class.

229
00:13:55.240 --> 00:14:02.480
A and then we're all familiar with Subtle Lake and

230
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.519
the Class A report of the of the people staying

231
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.960
in the cabins, and this was in the eighties as well.

232
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:13.639
I believe with a small group menacing. These people are

233
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.120
staying at the cabin to the point where they slept

234
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.840
the nur suburb and then drove off or left rapidly.

235
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:23.840
But yeah, uh, Subtle Lake is just I mean, just

236
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.879
talk and talk and talk until I run out of breath.

237
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:30.120
But Subtle Lake area, the highway Highway.

238
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:36.399
Twenty is very, very productive all the way if you

239
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:42.440
keep going east. I've had some great things happen up

240
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:51.360
by Tombstone Pass, Lava Lake Road. I've had some reports

241
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:55.000
in your big Lake. But yeah, to answer your question,

242
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.240
some great stuff. Sudtle Lake has got a lot of

243
00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.039
a lot of curiosity for sure.

244
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.200
That's so great to hear because it lines up perfectly

245
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.240
with the research that I've been doing, because the society

246
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:23.559
will be right back after these messages. I mean that

247
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:28.919
BFRORO report is so good. It's funny because when I

248
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.960
used to do a call in I believe it was

249
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.159
the call in on YouTube. It was one of them.

250
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:39.440
I actually had that guy call in and oh, no kidding,

251
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.879
I'm listeners. Let me know if I'm off on this,

252
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:47.200
but I'm pretty sure I've never released that audio and

253
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:51.879
I think I lost it, which is unfortunate because if

254
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.120
he's listening, I would love to talk to him again

255
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.559
because it was just such a fascinating conversation. But just

256
00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.759
one of those things where I think it might be

257
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.960
unless someone's like, no, dude, it's an episode this that

258
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.720
would be great too. I hear you Camp Sherman. What

259
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:11.519
kind of area is that up there?

260
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.080
Camp Sherman's gorgeous.

261
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:21.440
Camp Sherman has a lot of big, big pine and ponderosas.

262
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:26.679
Closer to the highway gets a little more thick. You

263
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:32.480
got water running through there, the river running through there.

264
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:39.000
Camp Sherman is a spot where it seems like April

265
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.600
is kind of the time to get there. April or

266
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:46.200
May is when I've had reports, and the beauty of

267
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.399
the Camp Sherman areas. You just pull off onto the

268
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.279
Camp Sherman Road and start venturing north and you can

269
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.039
hang a left anywhere in those woods and do primitive camping.

270
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:02.679
There's even a great horse camp in there. So it

271
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.319
it is absolutely.

272
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.119
Gorgeous with some just beautiful floor, a lot of cover,

273
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.359
a lot of water. It's a spot if you come

274
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.200
out here, when.

275
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.440
You come out to Oak Ridge and you got a

276
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.960
little you know, a couple of days before or prior

277
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.599
or after, that'd be a great spot for your hit.

278
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.440
I highly recommend it. That.

279
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:28.119
That's that's good to know. You know, there's this gentleman

280
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.519
I interviewed. We were talking about him before we started,

281
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.720
and and by the time this areas you y'all have

282
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.400
already heard it. Why did I say it like that?

283
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.519
That's weird. I guess I do live in Iowa. But

284
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.839
so he was saying that they found a great track

285
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:49.519
over by Three Creeks Wilderness and then they went to

286
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:54.240
the ranger station allegedly in Sisters area, and they were

287
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.799
all worked up because they're pretty young, and Eric, dude,

288
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:58.880
we got a track, you guys can come out here.

289
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.559
We'll show you where it is. And they were like, buddy,

290
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.039
we've got so many casts in the back. We're fine.

291
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.599
And I was like, oh my goodness, that's that's kind

292
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.559
of cool. I mean, this is a while back, though,

293
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.160
you know this is by bike, yeah, way back there.

294
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.000
But I was like, oh man, you hear stuff like

295
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.319
that and it makes you wonder, for sure.

296
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:21.319
It does. Three Creaks.

297
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:26.359
I just got another report from Three Creeks. This gentleman

298
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.920
is law enforcement and that's all I can say, right,

299
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.920
but he has had a sequential experience up in the

300
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:39.960
Three Creeks area with heavy, heavy tree knocks and also.

301
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:42.960
Vocalization as well.

302
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.160
I also have another class A report from Three Creeks

303
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.680
from a while back.

304
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.359
I think this is the early nineties.

305
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:58.519
People doing some adventure scheme snow skiing, and something came

306
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:03.799
out of the tree line screamed at them. They immediately

307
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.319
tried to leave the area, but it started to come

308
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.000
after them, and they were lucky enough to get onto

309
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:13.119
a road that was buried in snow.

310
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.880
But they got onto some sort of of a.

311
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:20.400
Clearing of a road and they both hopped up into

312
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:24.720
a greater, a tractor, a greater used for plowing snow.

313
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:26.920
They hopped up inside the cap of it and shut

314
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.759
the door, and this thing.

315
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.400
Circled the Greater, but it circled it from.

316
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.799
Probably one hundred yards to two hundred yards out and

317
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.279
he said, he'll never forget it. It was the scariest

318
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.680
thing you ever heard, because it was so mad. This

319
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.359
thing was so angry and so mad that it was

320
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:51.799
almost whimpering, chattering and whimpering out of frustration.

321
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.240
You can hear the frustration come up from it vocally.

322
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.519
And it went on until late nightfall and then finally stopped.

323
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.640
And then they were able to get brave enough to

324
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.519
get out of the Greater, the cab of the Greater,

325
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:09.400
and get back to safety, back to the main.

326
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:13.039
Road and call for help. Your parents came and got him.

327
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:19.000
I also have another report from three creeks, and I

328
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.160
believe it was a boy scout leader who saw one

329
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:27.920
up on a on a ridge. He and three other

330
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:32.559
scouts saw it before peeked over the ridge and gosh,

331
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.720
this is really long. This is by the sixties, so

332
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:39.839
nothing recent, but that area seems to have some great

333
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:44.759
stuff happening as well, from from from back in the

334
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:46.119
sixties to currently.

335
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:47.160
So.

336
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:52.240
The gentleman, the deputy, the law enforcement deputy. He has

337
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.640
an audio recorder up in this area and has been

338
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.640
collecting audio. And I don't know how successful he's been,

339
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.759
having heard recently, but pretty pretty fascinating.

340
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:12.480
You see you just the deputy is actively investigating bigfoot

341
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:17.680
and collecting sound recordings. Correct, what what a word? That's amazing.

342
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:19.079
Isn't that crazy?

343
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:26.000
This guy reached out to me as well, and he's

344
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:31.440
a just a fantastic guy. And he he is lucky

345
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:34.839
enough that his description he's he's able to be out

346
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.880
in the woods for the most part of his shift.

347
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:43.480
He also gave me a great report of he and

348
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:51.119
his son. This was two twenty fifteen, I think Polina Lake,

349
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:53.400
which is my other hotsquad and we've talked about before,

350
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:56.960
but he was it was the end of season.

351
00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:58.680
They're getting ready to shut the gate.

352
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:02.559
For winter, and he and the Sun were up there

353
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:06.519
by themselves camping, and they were in a backpack tent.

354
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:12.799
But the tent was very small, had a very small

355
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:16.559
footprint on a very large tart. And he said, late

356
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.319
at night, I own ten eleven o'clock, Sun was asleep

357
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.759
and he could hear something walking up into their campsite

358
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.119
to the point where you could hear it walking on

359
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:29.119
two feet onto the tart. And then it slowly, something

360
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:34.680
slowly pressed in on the tent onto this gentleman, and

361
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.680
it scared him to death. He jerked up and whatever

362
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.319
it was then ran off. By the time he got

363
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.640
the ziper open of the tent, he had no visual

364
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:45.759
it was long gone.

365
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:46.799
But that.

366
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.839
Experience is what kind of shifted his whole thought on

367
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:54.920
the Sasquatch bigfoot topic.

368
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.400
And those are the kind of individuals that we need

369
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.839
in the positions that they're in. That's that you got

370
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:04.200
that right?

371
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:05.200
Yeah? Wow?

372
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.559
How cool is that?

373
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.519
Great guy?

374
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:13.839
There's another area I've been looking into, just as I've

375
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:20.480
been researching. There's actually a few. One is Detroit Lake

376
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:25.680
and this this other individual I just talked to. This

377
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:28.319
will be out by the time this is but he

378
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:31.759
had a really interesting encounter on the actual island in

379
00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:34.000
the middle of Detroit Lake, which is kind of cool.

380
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.319
Oh yeah, yeah.

381
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:37.839
Piety knob. I don't know if I'm saying that right,

382
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.839
but it's pretty cool. But have you heard a lot

383
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.440
of things coming from I know that's kind of like

384
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:46.799
a hotspot in a way, right that Detroit Lake.

385
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.200
I didn't really but it made sense. I I just

386
00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:53.119
until recently I did hear that story of the gentleman

387
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:58.920
on the island, and I didn't.

388
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:01.640
Realize that's a great story that I can't wait for

389
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:05.559
that to come out. But it is dad gum. It

390
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:06.599
is so sick in.

391
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.759
There and cheep and hard to get to, which just

392
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:15.839
makes it perfect. And that is also where I received

393
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.920
a report in my group, my last squatch and Brew,

394
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:23.599
a gentleman first time to the group to the meeting,

395
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:28.359
shared his story and he was camped across from the

396
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:34.279
island on the backside, doing remote camping by himself, and

397
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.400
it was just him and his German shepherd, and the

398
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.960
story went he night one or two woke up and

399
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:47.039
something he woke up to feeling wet in the tent

400
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.279
and come to find out that his German shepherd was cowering,

401
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.319
cowering and had urinated all over it south and inside

402
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.880
the tent. And once he realized, it's like, oh my gosh,

403
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.000
my dog just just puts itself.

404
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:08.720
He then heard something pacing around.

405
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:14.359
The tent, thrashing, I could hear breathing, and so it's

406
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:17.359
a really intimidating, scary, scary.

407
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:19.119
Encounter.

408
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:25.680
But that is also in that same general area, and

409
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:30.960
that's also not far from there for service employee that

410
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.519
I know, he's got some audio set up out there

411
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:36.359
as well. So yeah, I mean I'm starting to learn

412
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:39.640
more and more about Detroit Lake, and it makes sense

413
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:43.160
if you go you come out here to visit, that's

414
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:45.400
a great area to go and just kind of drive around.

415
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:51.880
It is absolutely beautiful, fit, green covered water, food, Yeah,

416
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:52.519
great spot.

417
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:55.319
Yeah.

418
00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:01.000
Part of me wants to is so tempted to go

419
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.640
on the Oregon Big for a Highway, but I was like, man,

420
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:06.960
I am not prepared. I mean, it's I'm not going

421
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.920
to have a rental that's prepared for that. I talked

422
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.480
to Jeff Rohan and the stories he had of what

423
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:14.759
happens on I was like, man, I don't think I'm

424
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.160
prepared for that. Ripple Brook will maybe have to wait

425
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.400
for another day, but you have to be.

426
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.200
If you're serious, like I might have something for you.

427
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.640
All right, Well, uh that's that's awfully that's awfully nice

428
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:33.160
to you. I will definitely, uh we'll keep that in

429
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.519
mind for sure. Have you, uh you know another area

430
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.319
that I heard some stuff from recently, Silver Falls State Park?

431
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:44.599
Have you ever heard anything from that park at all?

432
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:47.720
I have, but only.

433
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:56.880
Third and fourth hand, nothing direct to me. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,

434
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:59.200
it's pretty I have been there. I've done a couple

435
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:00.680
of days, hikes and arches gorgeous.

436
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:07.519
So when you have your your meetups, uh, what kind

437
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:10.160
of people come in off the street to these?

438
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.119
You know, I have boy a wide it's a wide

439
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:22.880
expectrum of people. Usually it's people who've had some sort

440
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:26.880
of an experience and just kind of sit against the

441
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:34.160
back wall and listen. Those are most of the people that,

442
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:38.480
you know, especially the first the first timers, they show

443
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:40.799
up and they're not sure what they expect, like.

444
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:42.400
You know, how serious is this going to be? Is

445
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:44.039
it going to be anything interesting or is it just

446
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:47.039
a bunch of hoopla? And so a lot of them

447
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:50.440
come and they they don't really participate. Was just fine.

448
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:52.559
I don't ask people, just show up and sit down

449
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:58.319
and listen, you know. And so I find that people

450
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:02.079
for the first time will show up, they don't listen,

451
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:04.200
and then at the end of the meeting, I always

452
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:08.119
try to take a moment and introduce myself and talk

453
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:10.559
to them, and almost all of them always have a

454
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:13.200
story like, oh, yeah, this one time I was hunting,

455
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:17.960
or this time I was camping or fly fishing. That's

456
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:23.000
that's when they get excited. For two reasons. I mean,

457
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:27.960
one is that I approach them and make them feel comfortable.

458
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:31.519
And then the other reason is, you know, they're like wow,

459
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:32.160
find that I.

460
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:34.279
Can tell someone like I could not.

461
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:36.799
They feel comfortable because they're not the only person in

462
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:40.400
the room, you know, like, oh okay, other people have

463
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:42.960
had these you know, interesting encounters, and it's great to

464
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:46.599
be here and and see that there's there's a small

465
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:50.559
crowd with curiosity and show these stories to share, you know,

466
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.880
from all backgrounds.

467
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:57.559
Right. So, yeah, so it's fun. This last meeting I had, I.

468
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:01.480
Boy, is the biggest number of new people I have seen. Yeah, so,

469
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:04.680
which is great. That's what I want. I want to

470
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:08.119
obviously collect reports and data locally that you know, I

471
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.119
want people to be brave enough and curious enough to

472
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:14.920
come to the meetings and feel comfortable to share their experience.

473
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:17.079
And they may you know, people may not even have experience.

474
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:18.799
You just want to know more about the topic. You know,

475
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:20.880
non't believe it's perfect. I'm not.

476
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:22.519
I'm not here to sell it, you know, if you

477
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:24.279
want to, you want to show up for an hour

478
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:26.759
and a half and and listen to me babble and

479
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:29.400
and try to put out some good content and something

480
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:31.359
educational and and I.

481
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:32.559
Always do a little you know, try to do a

482
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:33.160
little trivia.

483
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.200
This last time I did trivia and some fast box

484
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:38.920
trivia and through candy bars and get people kind of

485
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:41.160
excited and engaged.

486
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:44.440
That was That was a hit. But yeah, they're fine.

487
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.400
That's awesome. And I apologize if we had this conversation

488
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:52.920
last time. But I think if there's there's listeners that

489
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:57.559
haven't heard that one yet, it might be interesting. But

490
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:00.480
so when you when you set these, uh, do you

491
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:06.359
have people already set up to kind of share what

492
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:08.880
happened to them? Or is it just the thing where

493
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:12.920
it might If it happens organically, then it does begs

494
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:15.880
a society will be right back after these messages.

495
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:32.079
Organically.

496
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:36.359
Yeah, you know, this last one, I should backtrack on that.

497
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:38.279
This last one, I had a couple of people have

498
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:41.599
had a class A experience. I invited them to come

499
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.920
and share their story and they did. And one of them, man,

500
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:49.960
I'd love for him to be on your podcast. And

501
00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:56.599
he had that class A encounter while kayaking up the creek,

502
00:30:58.400 --> 00:30:59.279
and man, I'll.

503
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:01.880
Tell you he was so nervous telling the story from everyone.

504
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:03.119
But I was so.

505
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.079
Proudable and so proud of them I'm so grateful. Everyone

506
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.319
had mad respect for him and they were all super

507
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:14.000
grateful that he shared it and made it real, you know.

508
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:18.880
And and he he shook my hand after he goes, gosh,

509
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.079
darn it, Randy, that was the best therapy I've ever had.

510
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.359
That's great. Yeah, I mean I would I've never been

511
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:29.400
to something like that before. I imagine it has to

512
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.319
be a very special experience. And and I mean it's

513
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.240
because you're not putting everything out there on the internet,

514
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.519
right or like on a podcast. But there is some

515
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.200
risk to it in a way because you don't know

516
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.599
who's gonna you know, if you're sharing something, you don't

517
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.839
know who's going to walk through that door from the town.

518
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:51.960
You know, could be your boss. But I mean it

519
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:55.319
is a that's a great way to meet people that

520
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.440
are thinking the way you are. And I think it's

521
00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:00.440
very important that you're doing something like that and area.

522
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.559
Yeah, no, it is.

523
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:06.960
I I'm very fortunate that it's well received, and I

524
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.039
just feel like it's so important again, you know, for

525
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:14.400
people have that safe platform in an area where we

526
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.960
have so much really great activity and things happening.

527
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:18.880
I think it's.

528
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.119
You know, it's a win win it's symbiotic. I'm getting

529
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:25.039
something out of it and they're getting something out of it,

530
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:27.559
and it's just.

531
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:28.920
I hope it grows.

532
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.519
I hope more people show up the next meeting, which

533
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.440
is in April, April nineteenth, I'm hoping I'll get more

534
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:36.839
people and more stories and.

535
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:38.839
Its fun.

536
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:42.279
And then afterte the meeting, I'll try to a guest speaker.

537
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:43.920
Just wanted to go to line up a guest speaker

538
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.960
to share some you know, some scientific knowledge or or

539
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:49.519
their mythology.

540
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:53.119
Being out there and looking for sasquats. So I try

541
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:53.839
to have a guest speaker.

542
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:56.480
But then after the event, I encourage people if they want,

543
00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:58.319
you know, we go next door and have some lunch

544
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:01.319
and a beer or so uh and just talk freely,

545
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:04.039
you know, and you know, hey show me on on

546
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:05.640
X whereas that spot is and whatever.

547
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:08.680
And so that's really fun too, dude.

548
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:10.759
I love on X. I would love for them to

549
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:13.599
be a sponsor one day. But that is the best, dude,

550
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.519
when you talk to it like a hunter and they

551
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:17.599
can be like I can share the pin with you

552
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:21.359
and you're like, oh man, you are awesome. Like it's

553
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:23.720
such a great app and they have a big footmarker

554
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:25.839
in it. It's amazing they do.

555
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.880
Yeah, I'll have to share to show you one day

556
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:31.279
my screen. I'm looking at it now and it's just

557
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:34.079
covered and they're all mostly big foots. But then I

558
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.400
have more colored based on the experience, you know, so

559
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.519
vocalization to one color class A is another color structure

560
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:45.920
or whatever. Something odd is a different color. So all

561
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:48.720
the colors have a meaning. They're all sasquatches, but the

562
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:51.160
colors all have a different meaning based on the report.

563
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.920
That's a great idea because then you could easily analyze

564
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:58.279
and see if there's patterns, like are all the class

565
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:02.279
as in one area or along a certain line or.

566
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.039
Yeah, yeah, And I would say, you know, looking at mine,

567
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.880
you know, it's it's some pretty rough data, but you know,

568
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.199
you zoom out a little bit and you go, oh wow, Okay,

569
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:14.280
there's definitely a pattern.

570
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.360
And it is it's a it's a cascades, you know, the.

571
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:21.840
Specific crest trail, you know, I mean it's it's right

572
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:25.880
down the center, and then it it's kind of clear

573
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.400
east of bend. And then you know, I started seeing

574
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:33.280
more icons than Oachico's, you know, and then south, you know,

575
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:34.559
feels in and Crater Lake.

576
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.199
I got more more symbols. But yeah, I'm.

577
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.880
Absolutely you know, last time we talked a lot about

578
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:43.840
I believe it was Cultist Lake. Have you heard anything

579
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:45.280
else come out from that area?

580
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:55.639
I I did. I had, gosh, darn, I'd have to

581
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:56.440
check my notes.

582
00:34:56.519 --> 00:35:01.000
I did have a gentleman casual lead tell me about.

583
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:08.360
Oh yeah, hunter. Yes, I had a hunter come up

584
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:12.199
to me at my last meeting. First time at this meeting.

585
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.760
This gentleman is a oh my gosh. He had two

586
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:21.400
great experiences. One those season, he was on the backside

587
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:25.039
of Colcheslake. He and his buddy, they were alone, and

588
00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:30.800
they heard something up in the trees, hitting trees, vocalizations,

589
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:33.679
and they left that.

590
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:35.800
I don't think they stayed the whole night. They left.

591
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:42.159
And then this same gentleman found beautiful prints in the

592
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:46.000
snow last year up in the area that has your curiosity.

593
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:53.760
Lava Lake Road off a highway twenty heading west. Looked

594
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:55.920
to your left there and there's a road called Lava

595
00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:59.920
Lake Road, and about four miles back there he found

596
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:03.119
beautiful trackway. But he did not have a phone with him,

597
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:09.159
so he was out there scouting. It was it must

598
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.280
have been early winter. But yeah, so yeah, I did

599
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:17.719
get another one from Coltis. So but right now Cultus

600
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:18.280
of course is.

601
00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:18.960
Buried in snow.

602
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:23.440
So I'm excited to get up there, hopefully spring when

603
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:25.760
the snow starts to break a little bit, and uh

604
00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:29.079
and get around to that that that entire lake, the

605
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:33.480
entire area, try to get up there. I got some

606
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:38.320
interest in some more equipment. I'm looking at some long

607
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:43.280
term audio wildlife acoustics, and then a parabolic and then

608
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:47.599
probably a smaller another audio recorder, start just collecting audio

609
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:48.280
from that area.

610
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:55.119
That's awesome. This is just a question as an outsider

611
00:36:56.119 --> 00:37:00.159
not from the area, So apologies if to you you're like,

612
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:05.280
you know, but so, there's a route that goes from

613
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:10.639
Sisters to Mackenzie Bridge called the McKenzie Highway. It says

614
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:15.519
that oh yeah, see here we go. It says closed

615
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:16.440
November to July.

616
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:17.000
Is it.

617
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:18.719
It's pretty wild and crazy, isn't it.

618
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:23.360
Yeah, that's a great It is closed. And that is

619
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:27.800
where I've gotten some reports received some reports. That's that's

620
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:30.920
not far from where that greater where the two guys

621
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:32.639
went and climbed up in the Caaba.

622
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:33.159
That greater.

623
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:38.840
That is a beautiful route. Believe or not, I've been

624
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:41.159
here twenty five years. I have not gone over that route.

625
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:43.800
I don't have a good reason why I haven't. But

626
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:49.840
it takes you over to the Mackenzie Bridge, and that

627
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:55.000
is such a great area. That whole Mackenzie Mackenzie River

628
00:37:56.599 --> 00:38:03.079
and up by Clear Lake all the way down to

629
00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:11.320
like the Bell Knapp area is loaded with reports. I've

630
00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:18.840
had a report not far from uh Clear Lake, Uh

631
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.559
if you're looking at the map, a bow hunter head

632
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:26.039
a vocalization there. And then I had an interesting encounter

633
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:33.559
up at Robinson Lake something making some sort of really

634
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:37.559
intimidating yell noise from across the lake from the Mount

635
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:45.519
Washington Wilderness. But yes, beautiful, beautiful area, full of great reports. Again,

636
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:50.079
very very wet. It's a great habitat. It's thick, it's

637
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:55.599
lots of cover, very few people, especially when you start

638
00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:00.840
going up off out out of the way a few miles,

639
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:03.679
I mean you still see people. I mean it's just uh,

640
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:06.440
it's a stick and the roads are kind of narly,

641
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:10.400
which is all my favorite. Right where where it's inconvenient

642
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:12.960
for people. That's where I want to be because I

643
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.519
think that's where these things that's that's where they thrive.

644
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:20.519
But yeah, that whole Mount Washington Wilderness, which covers that

645
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:25.079
the three Creeks and the Mackenzie Pass, that's just a

646
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:25.960
beautiful spot.

647
00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:28.760
It's one of my favorites. It's so green and rush exactly.

648
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:33.079
There's so many that that stretch one twenty six has.

649
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:37.159
I've gotten so many weird little mysteries and emails over

650
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:40.199
the past months, Like, I guess there's some gas station

651
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:43.559
out there that has all these Bigfoot tracks in it

652
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:46.039
you can check out. So I got tracked.

653
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:48.639
Okay, yep, I've heard about it.

654
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:51.559
I'm not okay, yeah, okay, so that's cool you heard

655
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:56.360
about it too. And then I mean everyone is probably

656
00:39:56.400 --> 00:40:01.039
aware of Ike's Pizza for different reasons in lee Burg.

657
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:05.360
But I had a listener that she sent me is

658
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:09.679
actually interviewee, but she sent me she had taken a

659
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:13.480
picture of a polaroid that was on the wall back

660
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:20.599
in the day in Ikes. It's very interesting looking allegedly

661
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:27.400
the back view of Bigfoot taken from the area. It's

662
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:32.920
very interesting. Yeah, but there's so many different different trails

663
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:36.679
you could follow, you know, not physical trails, but just

664
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:40.960
kind of like mysteries around the area. Yeah, there's a

665
00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:41.960
lot a lot going on.

666
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:48.440
Yeah, No, great area I do have. I'm just kind

667
00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:50.159
of looking at matter minds. I do have a report.

668
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:55.679
Gentleman his wife were driving up past Mackenzie Bridge and

669
00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:59.440
they were heading north, falling the river, and the wife

670
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:05.320
something sitting on the rocks across the river and it

671
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:08.280
was bent down, and she yelled at her husband to

672
00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:11.320
slow down, and he did. They pulled over in the

673
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:12.679
dirt area and they.

674
00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:16.400
Could see this thing. The river's lowed, so obviously they

675
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:18.199
didn't hear them. Then it was.

676
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:18.679
It was.

677
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:21.239
Going through the rocks.

678
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:24.079
It was lifted up the rocks, analyzing the rocks like

679
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:26.760
I was looking for, you know, crawdads or something, and

680
00:41:26.840 --> 00:41:30.320
then just came and see them casually stood up, which

681
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:34.119
blew their mind. And then it just turned around and

682
00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:37.719
walked right into the tree line and was gone. I

683
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:41.920
think he said it was twelve to fifteen second moment,

684
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:44.280
but really really impressive.

685
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:51.239
How many times? Oh you know, if you think back

686
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.320
from the different reports that you've gotten, have you gotten

687
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:58.559
anywhere what the person saw was up in a tree?

688
00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:02.079
No?

689
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:02.840
I have not.

690
00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:08.239
Interesting Okay, Yeah, I don't doubt that.

691
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:10.320
I think there's something to that, but I have not

692
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:11.559
received an reports of that.

693
00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:14.719
Okay, Now it's on my mind because I just talked

694
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:20.920
to an individual really interesting stuff that happened over by

695
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:26.119
Otis on west of the Van Duzer Quarter, so you know,

696
00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:31.719
over by the coast. Okay, but yeah, something you really

697
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:34.960
don't hear a lot, I think, but it's just it

698
00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:40.320
sticks in my mind because of that. Yeah, just very

699
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:41.159
very interesting.

700
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:42.880
Yeah.

701
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:48.599
Oh, another thing we talked about last time that I

702
00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:51.679
want to check up on. Have you heard anything more

703
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:54.960
about Badfoot down by Crater Lake.

704
00:42:56.360 --> 00:43:04.559
I have not heard. And that's my that's my nickname.

705
00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:09.159
So oh okay, so it's just my little nickname for it.

706
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:11.679
You know. Actually I got it from one of my

707
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:14.840
from one of my people in my group. You know,

708
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:18.000
he goes, oh, yeah, it's like like just badfoot down there.

709
00:43:18.079 --> 00:43:20.920
I just nicknamed that area of the area of bad Foot.

710
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:26.880
So no, I have not heard anything more from that

711
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:33.559
area down there, you know. I think the latest report

712
00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:40.199
was I got last fall from the Rabbit Ears Rabbit

713
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:43.760
Ears Mountain. I believe it is a lady and her

714
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:49.519
husband who were camping in their sprinter van heard a

715
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:55.719
very intimidating sequential yewl or yell and I'm trying to

716
00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:57.679
zoom in on it here, and that's off the highway

717
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:03.920
to thirty west of it. And that's the latest report

718
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:10.440
I've gotten down there. And again, yeah, it was on.

719
00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:14.960
October twenty six or twenty four, followed by some really

720
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:19.760
high pitched horn type vocalizations. It is my notes, So

721
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:23.599
that area, you know.

722
00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:27.039
And I've gotten so many reports just north of their

723
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.920
of them crossing Highway one thirty eight.

724
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:33.519
And why these things cross the highway when cars are

725
00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:37.840
coming blows my mind. I'm not sure what the thought

726
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:41.079
is there. Why why do they do it? Why can't

727
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:42.840
they wait until car passes? If they don't want to

728
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.480
be discovered, won't be left alone? Why are they doing

729
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:47.000
it in front of cars? Why not wait for the

730
00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:47.360
car to go?

731
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:54.119
Buy? But Highway one thirty eight is the border of

732
00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:57.639
my bad foot area. So anything north of one thirty

733
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:03.679
eight is I feel better about. But anything south of

734
00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:09.119
one thirty eight Crater Lake National Park I will not

735
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:14.159
even come close doing in their alone. Gosh, I mean,

736
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:18.360
go with a buddy, but definitely probably armed. Just I

737
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:21.800
don't know, man, I've heard just things of being these

738
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:28.760
things chasing people out of the woods or aggressively attacking

739
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:30.679
or not attacking.

740
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:33.480
Big so society will be right back after these messages.

741
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:53.559
I shouldn't say we're attacked, but just being really aggressive

742
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:57.199
and menacing, not curious like the ones I'm used to here.

743
00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:02.199
The ones down there are they they don't want nothing

744
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:04.199
to do with humans, and they're going to move you.

745
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:07.320
In a very aggressive way. Matter.

746
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:10.480
Crater Lake is one of those interesting places because there's

747
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:15.400
so much lower about it that you hear things, and

748
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:18.880
you hear some really interesting things about people going missing

749
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.960
or people acting in certain ways all of a sudden

750
00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:25.960
that would not be the way they would probably choose

751
00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:29.480
to do. And I think it would be tough though,

752
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:34.840
because it's like, how much of these are campfire stories,

753
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:39.840
but then how much are actually, you know, legitimate things

754
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:43.519
that have happened. And that's why it's cool that you're

755
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:46.320
in an area like that, because you might be getting

756
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:49.719
some things that happen down from that area, you know,

757
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.599
from actual people that experience them, which is pretty cool.

758
00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:57.599
Yeah. No, I am very very fortunate. I agree with that.

759
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:02.519
I think the closest report that I responded to and

760
00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:07.000
felt comfortable enough to respond to was up one thirty

761
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:12.360
eight year Diamond Lake. A police officer off duty saw

762
00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:19.000
one across the road, and so we responded to that report.

763
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:24.000
You know, being a first responder, he's able to take

764
00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:25.840
a pretty good snapshot of what he saw and it

765
00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:29.920
was pretty impressive, and we spent three four days up there.

766
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:34.119
Didn't see much evidence to support it, except you know,

767
00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:37.039
it came up today. I was talking to Toby a

768
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:40.719
little bit. The only evidence I thought was interesting. I'm

769
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:43.159
not gonna say evidence. What I thought was interesting was

770
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:45.719
off trail. We're we're trying to trying to do a

771
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:55.719
great fashion research trip. There were sticks, so again off trail,

772
00:47:56.800 --> 00:47:59.400
just looking for any sort of evidence that would prove

773
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:04.079
that this gentlemen saw something. There was a primitive game

774
00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:07.880
trail that was highly used by you know, animals of

775
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:12.119
any sort. But along this game trail up along this hill,

776
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:16.960
forest thick thick forest. I climbed out by myself. At

777
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:18.920
that part, I'd separate from the group and I was

778
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:22.320
going up the up the hill into the trees, just

779
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:24.519
trying to see if I saw anything that didn't look right.

780
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:30.000
And there was half a dozen sticks that were broke

781
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:35.360
off and stuck into the ground along this little game trail,

782
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:39.719
and I thought, you know, well, that's weird. Why, you know,

783
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:42.519
if there's humans up here, which it's really hard to

784
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:45.360
get to it and be This spot is near a

785
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:50.320
very popular falls, so people who are in that area

786
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:52.280
are literally getting out of the car to use the

787
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:53.960
restaurant and get back in the car, or they're doing

788
00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:57.079
a quick pipe to go look at the falls. But

789
00:48:57.199 --> 00:49:03.000
they wouldn't wander up this hill that's steep and treacherous

790
00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:08.679
for the most part and stick literally randomly stick these

791
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:11.159
little sticks in the ground. The sticks were twelve to

792
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:14.639
fifteen inches tall, broken up, and they were just jabbed

793
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:20.760
into the ground along this little this little game trail.

794
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:28.480
So I took pictures of it, and Toby mentioned that

795
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:32.079
someone else had experienced out as well. I don't know

796
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:34.039
if there's anything to it or not, but that's the

797
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:36.360
only thing I thought that was kind of baffling, Like,

798
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:39.440
what's the purpose of that. I had no idea, you know,

799
00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:43.159
And you know, maybe maybe a human didn't put them there.

800
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:47.000
Anything's possible. I don't know if that's probable, though. What

801
00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:51.960
was a diameter of the sticks, Oh gosh, maybe an

802
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.800
inch and a half. So there are branches I'd broken

803
00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:57.519
off the tree and then they were just stabbed into

804
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:02.280
the ground, but like a border. It was like, you know,

805
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:05.360
you see him every five six feet ish stuck in

806
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:09.199
the ground along this game trail, and you can pull

807
00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:09.559
him out.

808
00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:11.599
I pulled one out, and the that's random. I would someone,

809
00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:15.079
Oh there's another one, and there's another one in a

810
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:19.320
very very remote area. So that was baffling. That was

811
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:20.920
that was rather interesting.

812
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:25.599
So the first time I've heard of someone else seeing

813
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:28.840
that was today when I talked to Toby for a minute.

814
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:31.480
Someone else is seeing that as well up in Washington,

815
00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:32.079
So who knows.

816
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:38.719
That's right, guys, Tob Johnson from a Flash of Beauty,

817
00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:41.800
shout out to those guys. Tob is a great.

818
00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:44.159
Great it was.

819
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:46.480
It was great to hang out with him in the

820
00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:49.719
others at Sasquatch Summerfest.

821
00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:55.760
For sure, they do they they do resemble humans. They

822
00:50:55.920 --> 00:51:01.519
do live like animals, you know, they hunt, you know,

823
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:06.159
like a primate would you know, and they scavengs when

824
00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:06.519
they can.

825
00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:13.400
They're opportunists, you know, they're either going into resources trash

826
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:16.760
can or they're stealing a buck from a hunter.

827
00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:17.440
You know.

828
00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:25.760
So but yet you know, and I like, I'd even

829
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:30.559
say the characteristics are human like to the point where

830
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:34.840
I would you know, there's been a suggestion that these

831
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:40.920
things are on the spectrum uh neuro divergent. Right, So

832
00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:45.199
so there's the human side, and they're curious about humans,

833
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:48.559
the experiences that we've had here.

834
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:53.800
They're curious about other humans as humans would be. So

835
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:59.119
uh you know, I I could have been attacked at

836
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:02.719
Couldest Lake couple of times and never have So they're

837
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:07.960
curious about who's hanging out in their woods. Not threatening

838
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:11.159
that yet, how are they surviving? Are they are they

839
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:13.639
you know, are they acting like animals?

840
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:17.880
And are they killing you know, elk, of course they

841
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:20.880
are and deer? Are they going after the crawfish in

842
00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:22.280
the lake and the fish when they can?

843
00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:27.880
Yeah, you're you're hopefully going to be over at the festival, right.

844
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:31.519
Yeah, I got on my calendar on books. I'll be there. Yeah,

845
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:35.880
I'm gonna. I think a small group of us are

846
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:38.679
going to camp. Priscilla's going to find me a spot.

847
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:42.320
I asked for a spot in your water and activity.

848
00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:44.360
And she said, I have a spot for you. So

849
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:47.320
I'm going to head over there probably the next month

850
00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:49.559
or so and have will give me a quick tour

851
00:52:49.679 --> 00:52:51.679
of it. We'll be camping in the woods and heading

852
00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:52.480
in their dream today.

853
00:52:54.039 --> 00:52:56.239
That area when I was when I have my maps

854
00:52:56.280 --> 00:53:01.199
out last year, that area was blown up, like just

855
00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:03.559
random hunters would come in and be like that area

856
00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:11.360
right there, So let's say, well, actually all over it's crazy,

857
00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:16.679
I mean, vocalizations, all sorts of weird stuff. So I

858
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:19.039
would I mean, if that's if that's the area down

859
00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:24.000
where she is putting you guys, I'd say that is

860
00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:27.599
pretty pretty solid, I would say, And I think I

861
00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:30.440
had like maybe three or four I'll have to bust

862
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:31.880
out the maps again.

863
00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:31.800
But.

864
00:53:33.400 --> 00:53:37.480
Some weird stuff. That's That's actually when I had my

865
00:53:39.440 --> 00:53:42.440
my issue where I had to go to the urgent

866
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:45.000
care at the end of my time there last year

867
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:48.519
and like get my legs checked out, and then I

868
00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:54.800
went back and I was like kind of I was

869
00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:56.679
like forget this, you know, because I had to like

870
00:53:57.320 --> 00:54:00.400
go to the hospital and shut down in reviews and

871
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:02.400
I was like, I'm getting a burger and going for

872
00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:07.000
a drive. Who cares? Like I drove down to that

873
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:09.719
and I drove way out there and I was like

874
00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:14.199
having lunch by a boat ramp or something, and I

875
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:16.159
was like, Oh, it's so nice, and then all of

876
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:18.800
a sudden, dude, it was just like not nice. And

877
00:54:18.880 --> 00:54:25.119
I was like, this is how people disappear. I was like, something,

878
00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:29.920
it's either it's either a cougar or it is a

879
00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:32.880
bigfoot or something. And I was like, I guess I'm

880
00:54:32.920 --> 00:54:34.800
going to shut this down. Let's go back to town.

881
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:36.719
I love it.

882
00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:43.039
It's pretty cool. But Randy, it has been a really

883
00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:45.880
fun time chatting with you again. I can't wait to

884
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:49.559
chat with you hopefully this summer at Oakridge. But do

885
00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:54.280
you mind spending a few minutes sharing how people can

886
00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:57.719
connect with the group?

887
00:54:57.920 --> 00:54:58.960
Oh? Yeah, absolutely so.

888
00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:03.719
We are uh on Facebook. That's really the only spot

889
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:08.719
at this point. Bend Bigfoot Research Group love to have

890
00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:12.360
you in the group if you've got a story or

891
00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:15.280
an experience you want to share, especially a local one.

892
00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:18.519
Also stay. If you join the group, you'll see all

893
00:55:18.559 --> 00:55:23.880
of our latest activity evidence. We see reports, so we.

894
00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:27.320
Try to keep it pretty active, try to keep it

895
00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:34.400
pretty clean, meaning that it's sasquatch evidence. For the most part,

896
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:39.079
we don't really want anything. I do only a lot

897
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:43.159
of fillers, so we do screen anything that's gonna be

898
00:55:43.159 --> 00:55:46.639
posted on there. It's really meant to be a resource

899
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:50.320
for people to share their stories. Uh hear about evidence,

900
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:54.800
uh hear about our stories that we're investigating, and uh

901
00:55:55.480 --> 00:56:02.320
just a platform too to learn and and comfortable and share. Again,

902
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:07.800
we'll be having a squatch and brew April nineteenth, Subriver

903
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:11.159
Library at noon and that we'll be on the.

904
00:56:11.679 --> 00:56:12.480
Group side as well.

905
00:56:12.559 --> 00:56:18.239
But yeah, if anyone here in Central Oregon's got something

906
00:56:18.280 --> 00:56:21.440
to share, I'd love to hear about it and talk

907
00:56:21.559 --> 00:56:22.519
and go investigate.
