Welcome back to Bigfoot Society. You're about to hear a special 10-minute teaser of today's members-only episode for Patreon supporters and YouTube channel members. I welcome back Todd Samples and Doug Shea from episode 269.

We talk about their current research in the Bluff Creek area and also Doug's Class A siting that happened earlier. A few months back, he won't want to miss this one. consider becoming a supporter. Thank you. All right, Bigfoot Society. You got the privilege of talking to Todd Samples and Doug Shade tonight. I talked to him about a year, year and a half ago. There were Bigfoot researchers out there on the West Coast of the U.S.,

but how are we doing tonight, guys? Very good, very good. Yeah, it's been a good night. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, but overall it's been great. Perfect. You know, I'm excited. to talk to you, I've heard a little bit about what you guys have been up to, but I'm going to go ahead and give the floor right over to you guys. And you can work it out how you would like since I've got the both of you here.

But yeah, feel free to share what kind of things, exciting things you've been up to in the last time since we talked. well um we had a chance to go up to a squash fest back in january and we were to uh talk to uh matt purit um clifirkman but before we went uh the day the day before squatch fest we had gone squatching in organ and that was a pretty good um we had a A siding, a Class A siding. Doug and Kerry, actually. I actually didn't see it, but I was there. Yeah, and during the whole course of the summer,

we have been going up into the Bluff Creek area. There's also another area east of Orleans we've been going into and had some interesting experiences. We, after our original discussion with you about the snow prints, and then later having discussions with Cliff. And he really recommended we start casting prints. So we've been doing that. And we've gotten some really nice prints.

We're up to six now. We tried one method where you use the spray foam. It's not real effective, but plaster of Paris we've been using. And so interestingly, several of these prints are in the same area where we found those snow prints. So we know we're on to something in that area. We've had broken branches off trees. We've had tree knocks in the area.

We even found what looked like a cave, went back two weeks later and found that a tree had been broken, and the entrance was covered, even though no humans had been there since we were last there. That was back in November. So it's true. been really good. We're just definitely

liking the fact that we seem to be in a really hot spot right now. We also got to talk with Tate during the summer, so that was nice, and Jonathan Easley they came and talked with us when we were at Laos camp in this last summer, so that

was fun too. And we've done some research going up into December of 2003, we had early snow, couldn't get very far. And then later it all melted. And we actually made it miles past where we had found those prints. But just recently, we had some cold weather. And yesterday, as a matter of fact, we were looking in another area that's called The Right Place. And we found some, we cast a footprint, had some really interesting activity as well as

tried to get up to a mile 10 and we couldn't make it in our four-wheel drive. We had to walk a quarter of mile to get there. But no footprints this year so far there anyway in the snow. Now, the castings that you took near where the snow prints had been found, are they, so are those in similar size to the ones you had found? Or do you think it could be the same individual or what are your thoughts as to what might be going on there? Yeah, we found two prints, or two, we casted two prints, one in the little meadow that we camped out, and then one up by a place, up by the mountain. And they were both the same size, 13 by six as the snow prints. So we assume it's the same creature.

Yeah, and what's interesting about that is one was on a hill, and we had taken it to the NABC museum that clip has, and they looked at those prints, and they go, that is a squash. You can see the metatarsal break in it. And it's, so it's kind of exciting to think that there is a big foot in that area that is staying in the area. Yeah. And the one we found yesterday was bigger, though. The one at Wright's place, it's 15 inches. So, wow. So that's pretty exciting. So I'll ask and up to you if you want to answer, but is the right place in a similar area as to the snow tracks?

Or is it totally separate area completely? Well, it's similar as far as probably the elevation. It's about the same elevation, I'd say, or pretty close. But it's probably five or six miles away. But it's on the other side. No, it's on the same side as Bluff Creek, right? Yeah. Just the snow prints were found on the Go Road.

Bright's place is off of Salade Creek Road. So it's a few miles away. In fact, Slate Creek Road and the right places where Tate and Jonathan, they were going to do the Blup Creek hike. That was going to be their first resupply spot. The gate's locked right now. So we had to hike quite a – it's about a little over three miles, I think, to the bottom. We didn't quite make it to the bottom, but quite a steep hike out. But the gate was locked.

But we started walking down there. And we had some good activity. Todd had some tree knocks because. he waited back. We had found this one spot where we found a huge pile of Scott and several prints in the area. We decided to cast one and it came out really nice. So then another person in the party, Caesar, Caesar Sandoval, one of our friends that squatches with us a lot. In fact, T's actually had two sightings. We walked down further and we didn't hear a whole lot, but Todd, we had walkie-talkies.

We're starting to get a little bit more proficient. And he started saying that he was hearing stuff around him since we left him. But on the way back, we found another pile of that same type of scat that hadn't been there when we hiked down. It was that fresh. So we came to the conclusion that we were being watched and they were doing some things. So that's pretty exciting. So I just I want to make sure I have a few things right so because I can kind of picture the map in my head a bit So the area where they were going to have the first

Pretty much if they had kept going on their their hike They would have gone into an extremely Squatchy area Which is what I can get from that but they didn't make it because well the rapids were pretty dang treacherous as listeners probably will remember. That's ironic. Wow. Yeah. In fact, if you see the rapids right now because it's spring, oh my goodness,

it Bluff Creek is just pure rapids, just white water. In fact, they're repairing the bridge right now. So it's kind of amazing to just think that, and what's amazing too is Fish Lake, which is off of Bluff Creek Road, is just literally across Bluff Creek. So, and it's not far from another famous place called Twin Lakes. But right now you can't get much past Wright's place. We tried to go up the hill there further and ran into snow because we were thinking,

oh, wow, it's pretty melted. Let's try to get up to Cedar Camp. And we went about two miles past Wright's place up the hill and ran into huge amounts of snow. So that turned us back. And then we went to the go road and found the same issue. Was there a certain reason that you had chosen that area as a new research area? Maybe things you had heard from other people or different types of research you'd done by yourself? Well, we've seen a video that I think Tate did.

I think some of his extra footage and they were down at Rice Place. And we figure, well, it's wintertime, but maybe we'll, it's wintertime. but maybe we can get down there.
