feel free to share starting right at the beginning, if you don't mind. Okay, well, where this all started? So I wasn't really ever into Sasquots, you know? I was always open-minded to the existence of Sasquots, because I've had some really strange experiences in my life that kind of opened my mind to just about anything is possible, I guess, after you've seen some I've seen. But I had all the same doubts with Sasquatch, you know, that everybody has, like,

oh, nobody's ever killed one, you know, all the people in the woods now with game cameras and blah, blah, blah. But I was open-minded Sasquatch, and I've always been entertained by, the cryptic cryptid stuff on YouTube and what have you so I was watching the Sasquatch stuff on YouTube and

so started getting fed more and more Sasquatch stuff and then I came across Todd Standing's work of the photographs of their faces you know and I had to wonder you know is this legit you know and the more I dug into Todd

Standing the more I started to think maybe these are the real deal, man. Maybe this guy did capture actual faces of Sasquod. So that was kind of where my head was, as I was planning this trip to the mountains, to do mining for geodes and, you know, crystals and agates is a spot deep, deep in the mountains, right by the Oregon, Washington border, near the coast. And it's just a place friends and I go and dig for rocks. We're just kind of rock hounds, just hobby, amateur rock hounds. and so I was up there

and I was all alone this day my dad and my son had been up there earlier but they left because they didn't want to sit there and watch me run power tools and break rocks for hours you know so I was up there alone

and just got kind of burned out on what I was doing struggling to get this rock out I spent hours trying to get this rock out and that rock is still there and the thought of Sasquatch was in the back of of my mind, like kept coming up, you know, just thinking about Sasquatch from all this stuff

I'd been watching prior to coming up. And so I said, screw this. I'm going to climb up to that viewpoint up there and I'm going to see if I can find a Sasquatch. You know, just to take a break, just curiosity, just boredom, whatever, you know, but just this weird thought, like, I'm going to go up there and just see if I can find one. Never expected to actually find one. one, you know, it was just this weird whim. And so I knew, you know, on the way up, climbing up there, I would stop and look for rocks and dig around. And so I had a tool in my hand. And, you know, I was climbing the hill, flipping rocks over, digging through the gravel, digging through the dirt. And it's kind of a steep embankment

that goes up out of this sort of rock quarry crater in the side of the mountain. And so But climbed up there, you know, it's about a, oh, I don't know, 40 feet elevation gain spaced out over, you know, 30, 40, 50 yards or something. Not some crazy climb by any means, but kind of steep and kind of treacherous. And then at the very top, you're on this cliff that looks down into this valley. So it's a cool viewpoint. You could see mountains and rivers and you can see a lot from up there. And so I climb up there and I get to the very top and I'm scanning the valley for, I'm talking a matter of seconds. Like I hadn't spent any time up there and I'm looking at something and I'm laughing in my head like, oh, that's funny.

There's a Sasquatch right there thinking it was a shadow, a stump, thinking it was, you know, something that just resemble the Sasquot. And I'm staring at it. And I mean, it was just like I was dumbfounded as I start seeing this thing walk. And I'm just like, what am I looking at? And, you know, I've seen bears more times than I can count in the woods. And I have really good eyesight, you know, as good as anybody can have eyesight. And I just immediately knew what I was looking at. It wasn't a bear.

It definitely wasn't a person. this valley is really rural, really inaccessible. And I later learn firsthand just how hard it is to get into this valley. And so I'm watching this thing walk and just like taking a casual stroll through these little trees, like Christmas tree-sized trees that had been replanted from logging. And I'm just shocked, you know, staring at this thing, just questioning. my sanity, like, I mean, who says I'm going to climb up to a viewpoint and see if I can spot a Sasquatch? And then they go, and then within seconds they're staring at one. I mean,

it was just so bizarre, so freaking bizarre. And so I'm watching this thing walk, and immediately I'm digging for my cell phone, nothing but rocks. All my pockets are full of rocks from climbing up there. You tend to just pick up anything that might be something cool when you're a rock counter, at least that's the way I do. I wash them later and decide if this is worth keeping. But as you're hunting, you just kind of grab them. If they look like they have possibilities of being something cool, you grab them. And so my pockets were stuffed with rocks.

And, you know, no phone. Realized my phone's in my truck. And I could see my truck from where I was at. You know, it was back down at the bottom of this cliff I just climbed. And then it was about, I don't know, 50 yards across this gravel lot, parked over at the spot where I was initially drilling and trying to get that rock out. And so I didn't know what to do

because I'm staring at a Sasquatch. Don't have my phone. Don't have a camera on me. And I didn't know. So I'm just completely like unsure what I should do here. You know, should I run and touch the phone? Should I just stay here and watch this thing?

And I have had some incidents in the past that I wasn't able to capture on film that have just haunted me. for years that I screwed those up and didn't capture. And so I was like, no way. What's the point of even staring at this thing if I can't prove it? Nobody's going to bleed me. So I just bombed down this hill, jumping, skipping, falling, tripping, hit the, hit the asphalt

or the gravel, and just beeline in a sprint straight to my truck, open the door, get the phone. I turned to start running, but then I realized I got all these freaking rocks in my pockets in there, just slow me down. And so I empty all the rocks out pocket, then sprint back across this thing, climb up the cliff, you know, as fast as I could, get back to my position. And immediately I'm looking, looking, I can't find it, can't find it, you know, and I'm just, oh, no, it's gone. And that was pretty, uh, I mean, my heart sank when I realized I might have screwed up by taking my eyes off of this thing. But then I found it. Then I saw this little, black speck down there and it had changed because it wasn't walking anymore it was i couldn't tell

if it was sitting kneeling or what but it was definitely it because i could see the movement and uh got my phone out and started filming it and you can even see on that that video click film like you can hear me just this dying out of breath from the the run and the climb that i just did and i'm i film it for a while but it's at a distance where this phone just didn't zoom in very well. You know, it's not great footage. It's not even good footage, but it's footage. And so I just sat there filming it. I moved around a little bit, you know, filmed it from different perspectives.

But what kept happening because I was so high up that these clouds are constantly coming in. This area is a constant struggle with clouds and fog. It's just they come and they go, they come and they go. It'll be super foggy. And then 10 minutes later, it's not foggy. Then, you know, the clouds will go up and you'll be underneath them. And then the clouds will drop below you and you'll be above them. You know, it'll be blue skies and sunny, but you'll look across the mountains and all you can see is clouds like you're in an airplane.

It's just this constant fluctuation of weather up there like that. And so that's kind of what kept happening. The clouds would come in to steal my view. and so I'd shut the phone off and kind of wait there. Then the cloud would lift and then I'd keep filming. But I probably have, oh, I don't know, 45 minutes of footage of this thing spaced out across, I don't know, 10 different videos. They're all kind of short videos just because there was no point to film if all I could see

was fog, you know. But I was up there for a while watching this thing. And once it hunkered down, I couldn't tell what it was doing. But I would see what looked like an arm raised up every now and then. And so I just kept filming. I even actually was doing like whoops and making noise trying to like spook it because I wanted it to get up and walk because I wanted footage of it walking. But it didn't seem to give a wrath about any of the noise I was making or anything.

And I know it could hear me. It really does echo in that canyon. and I did have this weird, I don't know, like sense, that this thing knew I was watching it, that it knew I was filming. I don't know why, you know, I mean, I did. I had this decision. It was almost like, not that I could sense that I believe. It was like I knew.

I knew it knew that I, I can't explain it. It was really weird. And then, you know, like that went on for a while until eventually the clouds came in and just completely blocked the view till there was nothing I could see. And my wife, who was at my parents' house, my parents were about an hour away, 40 minutes away from where I was at.

Everybody was waiting on me to get back for dinner, and I've been out there way longer than I promised already at that point. And so, you know, once the clouds completely blocked out my view, and I just had to go. So that's kind of where that first encounter happened and and that's the story so are you still there yeah yeah yeah i'm yeah that's i just let you go um so i got questions for you uh so the main question i think most people are thinking is where can we see this 40 to 50 minutes oh how can you see it is that is it is it possible to see it i guess

you well yeah i have the footage yeah i haven't posted anything yet i I've been accumulating massive amounts of video. I got a pile of microSD cards, and I have tons of video from the research I've been doing. And I've been kind of waiting to release everything at once because my hope was to get a phenomenal piece of footage that would kind of like propel my work, you know, like go viral or whatever, you know,

know and then through that piece of footage I was hoping to steer anybody wanting to see more to my what will be a YouTube channel where I would have all this stuff I'm horribly horribly inept when it comes to tech I've never even set up a Facebook I you know never was into any of that stuff back you know a my space or you know any of that stuff I was just didn't care about it. And so I'm so behind and out of touch with how you do all that, how you post things, you know. Like I recently downloaded Twitter or X or whatever for the first time of my life and I barely even got on it, but maybe just a few minutes here and there. So that's the problem. Like, I don't want to just give my footage away and just let the world have it,

you know, so I've kind of been holding on to it. But, uh, I do plan on making it public. I think it's smart that you put the work in to set up a channel so that all your stuff can be in one area. And you don't just put it up on Facebook and then everyone posted everywhere, right? So the good thing about YouTube now is as long as you have like an email address that you can access, you can log into, you can go to YouTube and you can set up. up a channel relatively easy. It's just having that email address that you use to set it up with. Yeah. So much at the time to do it. Yeah, I just bought a laptop, like two, three days ago.

And I had one already, but it was an older one that had been collecting dust for so long that the batteries went bad on it. And so I just bought this laptop. Now I need to get somebody to help me, you know, get everything set up. and really with the footage I've accumulated so far, as far as the research that I've done following this sighting, I have some pretty amazing. Like compared to what I'm seeing, a lot of these other documentaries have. Really?

You know, these guys that are out in the woods, you know, making documentaries about their, their Sasquatch hunting. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

All I'm really seeing is some people sitting around a campfire walking around the woods talking about stuff. It's like really like I was researching for like three weeks and I had found two insanely awesome sites that are a bunch of upside down trees. You're probably familiar with what an upside down tree. Oh yeah, absolutely. You said this was Oregon-Washington border that this happened? Well, I don't like to say exactly where it happened.

But yeah, yeah, that just gives people an idea of roughly where it is. It's close to the coast and it's close to the border, which is the Columbia River, you know. Right, right. That's awesome. Yeah, there's so many places over there that that could be. That would be absolutely incredible. That just I know. Oh, dude, this area is so just mind-blowingly meant for something like a Sasquatch.

as soon as I started doing the research, like looking into this area, I just was blown away by the amount of berries. That was like one of the first things I noticed. So many species of berries, like every different kind of salmon berry, every different kind of blackberry. And then wild grapes and wild strawberries. And what was interesting this fall, because I was really paying attention to it,

was as the berries are coming to an end, and still I was just up there recently, and I was still finding berries that had just ripened, perfectly edible, but the explosion of wild mushrooms that I've been documenting. So it's almost like these creatures, you know, they lose their berries,

but then immediately they just have this massive abundant of mushrooms. And I don't know that they eat mushrooms, but I don't know why they wouldn't. but in and then also like a few months ago I was up in that area and I came across this river area with this deep pool and a fish jumped and I caught this picture on my body cam I actually didn't even see the fish it was later when I was looking at the footage I caught this fish fully jumping out of the water on my body cam but the fish jumped so I went to go see and and I couldn't even count how many big steelhead were bedded down in this small creek you know just just this area is just abundant with with food and they also have the option of going on a short walk short walk to them and they're at the shores of the Columbia river where you can just dig and dig and you can fill buckets with clams freshwater clams they're they're horrible I've tried to eat them they're they're they're not good but I mean I don't know that a Sasquatch wouldn't enjoy them

you know, but it's food sources like that are everywhere, you know, and the, uh, something we didn't get into, uh, about the, when I saw the Sasquatch, I came back the next day because we had better weather. And, uh, I drove up, climbed back up to the viewpoint. And immediately I had binoculars this time. And I immediately spot exactly where the Sasquatch was. And there was a stump there, a big old stump. I couldn't even tell there was a stump there of the day before, I could just see the Sasquoise, which tells me its body is pretty big because it was completely blocking out the existence of this stump. And so then I started looking around at all these other stumps in this valley. And every stump in this valley has

been tore apart, has been dug through, because there's particles and pieces of the stump strewn about all around these stumps, because you can see this red duff of the innards of of the stump. And so that's, you know, to me, okay, so they're eating grubs out of the stumps. You know, that's always available that time of year when the bugs are hatching. And that's, you know, a pretty good protein source right there. And then they got the clams, which is a guaranteed, no effort meal right there, you know, and so just things like that. And then there, obviously, there's deer and there's elk and there's, you know, I got a video one evening of a porcupine walking right by me, you know, which is, is, all of that is edible, you know, and I don't know

that they would eat a porcupine, but they're probably smart enough to figure out a way to get past those quills, you know. I mean, there's just so much just food, food galore. I mean, it's really just a Sasquatch utopia up there. And there's a lot of bear up there. And bear, you know, I hear a lot of stuff that, you know, Sasquatch habitats are going to be, you know, really favorable to bears and vice versa. And so that kind of makes sense, you know, that they would both be omnivores, you know, and they'd eat some of the same stuff out there. Do you want me to get into some of my discoveries or do you have questions for me?

I was actually just going to kind of put us towards that direction. Yeah, if you don't mind sharing other things you may have captured on video or you said you have some discoveries as well, that would be fantastic. Yeah, dude, actually, this is something that I guess we can talk about. Coincidentally, this morning, when I went to check my emails, you had responded. And I also got a response from this DNA company that I never in a million years thought was going to get back to me. Because I am confident that I have two different pieces of evidence that are just going to be covered in Sasquatch DNA. And I guess I could explain that story. So when I found the Sasquots, you know, I was hunting rocks, digging agates out of the mountain.

And I see the Sasquatch. So I didn't care about rocks anymore. I just wanted to investigate Sasquot. You know, bought a lot of gear, a lot of equipment, a lot of everything, and started trying to figure out how to get in and out of this valley and, you know, trying to investigate some of these rivers up there that are really hard to get to. This is all real rural area.

I start investigating Sasquatch, and I start finding my way into the bottom of these canyons and the bottom of these valleys. And I'm alone, 99,000, of the time I'm alone out there, which is a little nerve-wracking, especially when I first started doing it. It was more nerve-wracking. I've gotten a little more used to it after sleeping alone out there in the woods in a tent and doing a bunch of stuff alone. If it's something you've never done before, you know, at first it's a little intimidating, you know, especially when you know

that there's Sasquatches out there because that, you know, it wasn't that long ago that I wouldn't have even had that fear really going out in the woods by myself of a saskatch. But now that I know that they're actually out there, you know, that's kind of a, you're looking over your shoulder a bit more, you know, when you're all alone out there. You got bears and kubors, you know, and now I know that they're saskwatches. So anyway, as I'm getting into these valleys, getting into these canyons, I start finding rocks like I just never in a million years thought I would ever find. talking agates bigger than my head. I just hiked out a 77 pound blue agate the other day,

just this huge, just beautiful agate. And I'm finding all these different kinds of rocks, like opals and crazy crystals and just, I mean, it's like insane. Like I just couldn't even believe what I was finding. And I'm not out there looking for rocks. But then I'm finding them. So I'm getting these backpack loads of rocks, you know, and hiking freaking rocks out of canyons is a nightmare, and I've been doing a lot of it. And so I started showing these rocks to other friends of mine and talking about them, you know,

and my older brother's friend's husband is a geologist. You know, it's a weird connection to this geologist. It's actually his girlfriend's best friend's husband. And I've met him at some parties at their house a couple times and stuff like that. Cool guy. He's a geologist. And I sent him some pictures of some of the rocks just to identify what some of these rocks were. And, you know, he told me what he could, you know, by looking at the pictures.

Oh, it's probably this, probably that, you know. And he got excited and wanted to come out and wanted to see where I'm getting these rocks. He's not a Sasquatch guy. He's a rock guy. And so I agreed to take him out on a journey. and I warned him is pretty brutal and I took him through a 12-a-half-hour hike

but on the way to the to do the hike it was probably like 6 a.m. This is, you know, months ago, it was daylight at 6 a.m. And we're entering my area and I see three new huge arch trees, giant tree bins.

And in these, These are impossible to ever blame on Mother Nature. I'm sure people would try to blame them on Mother Nature, but I will just laugh at them. I do a lot of tree removal. One thing I know is trees and how they behave when they break and fall and get cut down. I mean, I'm as close to an expert on the subject as really anybody could ever claim to be. And so these tree bends are just monstrously, just insanely awesome.

for me because I was wondering at this time period if the Sasquatch had moved out of that area because hunting season was coming in. And I had just kind of thought, yeah, they probably take off from here and go somewhere else because of all the hunters that come up in here. And this particular area where these tree bends is one of the first places I started investigating. And I called it Tree Break Alley. That was just a nickname I gave it because it was the first. place I just started finding tree breaks all over the place. And so it was just kind of ironic that that's the area where they put these huge bends, giant bends. And like I almost took it as it was a message to me directly.

You know, like you think we're going to get chased off by hunters? You know, look what we're doing right in the opening week of bow and, you know, black powder season. These creatures came in and just do this insanely important. possible feet, you know, right then when hunting season was just starting to pop off. And so I see these tree bins and I'm kind of freaking out. And the geologist is with me. He's aware of the whole Sasquatch thing, but he wasn't, you know, a big believer or whatever. He's, he's like, I'm open-minded to it, dude, but I don't, I don't think that there's Sasquatch

out here. You know, that was kind of his attitude. And we're up there for rocks, but I see these tree bends. So I pull over and I'm like, dude, I'm, I use. can sit in the car. I got to go look at these tree vents. And so I'm filming the whole time. I have sunglasses that are cameras. I have a body cam. I have a helmet cam. And those are just cameras just to record sort of the backdrop of everything because then I have, you know, other cameras. I got, well, my phone, obviously. I do use my phone quite a bit. But I have like my long distance cameras for shooting. I can get footage a mile away with them. And I have way too many cameras. I have way too many cameras anyway so we're we're going down to the tree bend one of one of these tree bends and i'm

videoing it and i'm documenting because you could see this uh tree was bent down and wedged up against another tree and you could see these crazy scrapes going up and down up and down where they bent this tree and bent it into this way and wedged it up into this tree i mean it just doesn't make any sense the tree should have broke or the roots should have popped up out of the ground, but they didn't. And these big old scars in this other tree, you know, and I'm documenting this and I'm talking about all of this. And while this is going on, the geologist catches up to me and he's looking at everything, you know, and kind of scratching his head. And, uh, and then he's, he goes, hey, hey, look at this, you know, and I turn and he's holding this big old pine cone, right?

He's a scientist. You know, he's a smart guy. And, and he goes, he's like, he's, like dude don't you understand like this isn't from these trees like this is a this is not a tree that is native to this area this is this is kind of weird and i'm thinking you're looking at a pine cone thinking a pine cone's weird like when you got this giant impossible tree structure right above you you know but but then i understand what he's saying he's like dude this was directly under this bent tree and it had to have been brought here and i'm like okay i get what you're saying so so he's holding it but he's being careful he's just barely holding it with his like fingertips and and he he hands it to me and i'm looking at it and i'm like yeah dude and it looked

like it had teeth mark in it like i'm assuming that the saskatch may have actually stuck this thing in its mouth just to hang on to it or something while it was using its hands to do something else it was holding this pine cone in its teeth um and so all that was documented it on camera the whole finding of this pine cone and I put it in a plastic baggie and I kept this pine cone and uh that day he and I went on that hike we know we went on a crazy journey I mean we started hiking at seven something in the morning and we went down to the bottom of this canyon uh hiked this beautiful insane river found a bunch of rocks Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

I set up some game cameras, and then we had to climb out, and we didn't make it back to my truck till 8.30 at night. It was just getting dark. I mean, if we would have, we could have been in a bad way. We luckily got out just in time, but it was a, in that hike, I found so many different tree breaks. Like, I found so, so many different things that are not natural in this area.

It's gotten to the point where it's not even worth talking about them anymore, you know, like making another video of trees that have been topped when tree tops don't break very easily. I mean, that's a whole other discussion that I'm actually making a video about right now, a series of videos about how rare it is for trees to lose their tops, healthy green trees, tops don't break. Yeah, I'm finding areas where there'll be 15, 20, trees that have all lost their tops in one acre of forest. You know, it's just, it's really, it's almost impossible for a healthy green tree

to have its top break. Wind can't do it. Snow won't do it. Lightning's the only thing that can do it. And yet I'm finding areas where something has gone through and just topped so many trees. And I'm finding these really crazy trails. rail systems, and I've got footprint.

I've found so many footprints, too. I haven't cast any footprints because the forest floors out there, everything's so steep. And everything's pine needles and moss. And so the footprints you get out there, they're not like good castable footprints, but I have one in particular that's just amazing. You can see the big toe and the next toe where it cut through the moss and made this footprint. Do you have a 3D scanner on your phone right now?

Not that I'm aware of, no. What kind of phone do you have? It's an Android. What is this thing? I think it's a galaxy, something. I don't know. Okay, so you can get apps. For example, Android has one called Polycam,

where you can use your phone to scan the actual footprint, and then you can see how deep down it goes, and you can just get like a whole viewpoint of it, and it's really cool. So I would look into that. Yeah. Yep. That would be cool.

And then when I do that scan, can it become recorded in, like, video format? Yeah. So I know guys that they will do that, and then they'll put, like, their little videos from it inside their other videos, and they can share the videos with other people. And yeah.

So I'm okay. I don't know about Polly Cam, but pretty sure. I love to learn how to do that. There's so much stuff I need to learn how to do. It's so frustrating not having the tech skills I need. So when I got home, I put the pine cone in the freezer, and I started looking at comparisons to what this pine cone is. And I'm not, you know, I guess I could be wrong, but,

I looked at a lot of comparisons, and I'm pretty confident it's called a subalpine, you know, pine tree. And those are a really high elevation tree. And I looked into the maps of where they should be and where they grow. And there's none that should be in this area. And all of the trees in this area have all been planted by logging companies. And they're not going to plant subalpine there because it's not going to do well. it's probably not going to grow at all.

And then I looked in further about the subalpine trees and found all this literature about all these uses that the Native Americans used to use those trees for for medicines for treating different ailments. Like, I mean, so much stuff. I couldn't believe how much there was about this tree, about how it was, you know, a major part of their medicines and stuff. the Native Americans. And so that was all pretty compelling and interesting, you know, and I,

it was just strange, you know, that it appeared right there underneath the bent tree. But I didn't get to see how it was laying on the ground when the geologist found it. He found it and showed it to me. So the first time I saw it, it was in his hand. But then I want to jump, jump ahead to my most recent trip up there. I took my son with me. He's nine years old. And I've been up there by myself enough. I kind of concluded, you know, that it's safe. And he and I were camping. I cut this road that had been overgrown for like a decade. And I cleared it. And I cleared about a quarter mile of this road with my chainsaws. So I could drive in there in camp. I wanted to camp. in a section of the forest that nobody's camped in in a long time.

But having my son there, I needed to have my truck nearby, and I wanted to bring enough supplies so it was comfortable for him. If I would have been by myself, I could have just hiked into the woods and camped in some area way off the beaten path. But having my son with me, I had my generator, and I had our big fancy tent, and I had all kinds of crap just to create more of like a glamping type camps, site for him. And so anyway, I cut the road out, made this really cool campsite, and he and I

set out one day just to go do some Sasquatch hunting, investigating. And I took him to, when I mentioned the tree bins with the geologist, I mentioned that there was three of them. And the geologist and I only went and looked at one of them. And the other one I just saw from the road, it was a ways down in the forest and you know we had another mission that day that was more important we were trying to get into that canyon so I didn't investigate the other one so my son and I went to this tree bend and we're checking it out and it's the same scenario the tree is bent over in a very weird way it's wedged up against another tree and there's these big old scars going up and down that other tree where you can tell that it had to be like rubbed up and down and wedged you know as it was

bent or formed into the way of which it looked. And so I'm filming this and filming that. And all of a sudden my son goes, hey, dad, what's that? And I turn around and I'm filming and I'm looking and my son is pointing at the ground to one of those subalpine pine cones that was carefully and intentionally stuck in the mud. So it was pointing straight up to the sky. I mean, it was like, and luckily I caught all this on camera.

Like it was all being filmed. And it was placed in this way that is just completely unnatural. Like a pine cone, well, for one thing, pine cones this big, this type of pine cone just don't exist in this forest. I've never seen any like it. And I've spent a lot of time in our mountains and forests. I grew up in the mountains and forests around Packwood, Washington. I mean, I'm a mountain kid. Like, I spent a lot of time in the forest and I've never seen pine cones like this in our forest.

And the way this pine cone was stuck in the mud, there's no doubt in my mind. It had to have been done by hands, by coordinated hands that pressed it and stuck it in the mud. It just, there's no way it dropped, Phil, got stepped on by a deer or something and got shoved into it. Like it just, there's no way. It was perfectly placed, pointing perfectly straight up, intentionally put there directly underneath this tree bend. you know and so I'm just like shocked like it's another pine cone you know and this one you know didn't get touched by the geologist nobody's touch it so I I went up to my truck and got a plastic baggie and came down and I even had my son video as I pulled it from the mud just to show like and you

could tell by when I pulled it out of the mud that it'd been in the mud a little while I had a little bit of like mold that was growing around the edges of it and as it pulled out of the mud it a bunch of mud, like, stuck to it, you know, was all clumped to it. It isn't, like, anybody that watches me remove that thing will know immediately that it isn't something I could have just done that day. Like, you can clearly tell it had been there for a few weeks at least, just by the way it was when I removed it. And so I have these two pine cones, you know, that I know were put there by Sasquatch.

of course people could debate that or whatever. And I've been wanting to figure out how I can move forward with getting these things tested or investigated or something. And I had sent a lot of emails out to different Sasquatch stuff, people. I've talked on the phone to a few people. You know, most people are just going to try this person or, you know, blah, blah, blah. So I sent some emails out to some actual DNA labs. You know,

figured most of them would just laugh. Well, this morning I got a response from one of them. And called himself doctor something, something from some lab somewhere. And he said he wants to set up a video call sometime this week to talk to me about, you know, what I have. And so I was pretty blown away by that. Like, wow. You know, maybe this guy's a blue. believer or who knows, you know. So it would be interesting to see what comes of that. I'm pretty

paranoid and distrusting of people in general. So it'd be kind of hard for me to mail them off to some lab and just hope that they don't just get burnt. You know what I mean? Like I don't know, but we'll, we'll cross that bridge when we get there, I guess. I was just pretty excited that somebody even gives a care, you know. Do you want to hear more stuff? about experiences? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.

Anything you'd like to share? I mean, this is some of the more, I mean, this is pretty, I think it's a pretty exciting stuff. And you're not saying the area, but any of the area that you're alluding to, I mean, yeah, this, it's awesome. So I would love, if you have more to share,

I'd love to hear it. Oh, yeah. I mean, I got plenty, sure. I mean, just, Just the day, my son and I were up there camping for four days, three nights. And it was crazy. As we're leaving, he's getting pretty burned out on dad's obsession with turning down every road and seeing something and running up into the woods with my camera and just seeing what I could find. And, you know, he's only nine years old.

He's the coolest nine-year-old on earth. And he's been the trooper of all troopers the whole time, no complaining. I'm taking him through some miserable stuff. Been a great kid, but he's definitely getting tired. He just wants to go home, you know. And as we're driving out, we're almost off the mountain. And I'm like, you know what, dude, I've never checked this road out. And he just gives him his look.

Like, he already knows I'm doing it, you know, so he's not giving me permission. He's just like, whatever. And so I turned down this road and I see tree break. I see stuff. This area is, like I've said, just inundated with Sasquatch stuff. Like, it's just. mind blowing that this area isn't just like completely taped off and and have scientists all over it like it's it's so abundant with with saskwax evidence and uh i turn down this little side road

and i get out and i and my son gets out and he follows me and we're walking down to this tree line and i pull out my phone and i start filming and right then there's a a sound a Sasquatch type noise, you know, that's somebody would probably say, oh, that's just an owl. But owls don't typically make noise in the middle of the day. This is like 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you know? And I just right when I turned on the camera, there's a noise coming down from the trees, you know, a weird whoop type hoop noise. And then another one responds off to the left, you know. And it was awesome because I just turned on.

I actually haven't reviewed the footage. But that was just kind of cool. Like on our way out, something happened, you know, that obviously could be debated, whether it's Sasquatch or not. But I like to think it was. I like to think those creatures are actually watching me and messing with me quite a bit, to be honest with you. So that was just the super recent, most recent little thing that happened.

But the very first time I figured out how to get into this valley, the valley where I was looking when I had that views point, I used an e-bike and I parked way over in a totally different area because I studied some maps and I saw this might be a potential way to get in there. And it was. I had to go under a few gates and I had to ride my bike a good eight miles or whatever it was. but it's an e-bike so it's not and uh i have cameras set up on my handlebar and i have cameras on like my helmet and cameras all over the place and so i i forget what camera for sure captured this what happened but it might be on two cameras actually so i i'm getting into the valley and i'm super super excited because i'm like okay i'm actually in the valley i don't know exactly where i hadn't triangulated you know precisely where i was but i'm

I knew I was in the valley and I'm coming down this road and I'm just getting this really like I'm excited but I'm also kind of like nervous at the same time and I'm like really starting to feel like I'm invading onto somebody's private property or something and so I'm I'm going slow and I'm just uneasy. I feel like eyeballs are on me and all of a sudden boom it's like I just ran into a brick wall on my bike. I'm on the ground, laying there, like, what just happened? Like, it made no sense. You know, I wasn't going very fast. So I wasn't like in too much pain. I mean, my leg was bleeding from the gravel, but it was just so crazy. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

ID verification required to use a Vimobalance. And I do have the footage of that, which shows me just casually, calmly riding a bike, and all of a sudden, boom, I wreck. I mean, it made no sense. And at this point, you know, I wasn't aware of how much stuff is out there that talk about how they can cloak and make themselves invisible. I really don't know. I don't know what to make of it. It was just really weird.

And then I get up, get on my bike, you know, I'm confused over what just happened. Like, how did I just wreck? You know, but I couldn't make any sense of it, but bikes crash, you know, who knows? And so I get on my bike and I'm riding up and I get up into an area and I do some investigating up in this area. And I what I believe is a lookout point. Are you familiar with like Todd Standing's work at all? Yes. Okay, so are you familiar with the term he uses of a day watcher?

Yeah, I am. Yep. Okay, so I'm pretty sure I find a day watcher spot. Sorry, can you define it for people that might not be, though? Todd Standing talks about what he's discovered a lot is what he called day watchers, And those are sort of like a lookout point for the tribe of Sasquatches that finds a good, I don't know, viewpoint, good vantage point. And they just watch all day long for threats or people or predators that might be moving in to their area. And this, so after I got into the valley and I parked my bike, I put my kickstand up and I parked my bike and I left the kid.

camera rolling the whole time while I was gone just to film whatever might come sneaking up the road behind me or whatever. And I climb up and I'm always doing a lot of climbing. I go deep, deep into the woods and I'm, I climb through stuff that hunters don't go through, you know, some pretty miserable brush and some really steep, nasty crap is basically what I'm always in. And but I get up to this little viewpoint and I could see where, I mean, spot after spot had been bedded down and bedded down and bedded like all over that place. And there were species, you know, big old, big old turds. And this type of dung didn't match the bear dung because I'd been finding lots and lots of bear. dung in the in all over that area everywhere i go up in there that time of year you're finding mounds and mounds of bears all over the area i'm very familiarized with bear dung and and it's super

easy to spot that time of year because it's just it looks like berries all you see is berry seeds in the bear dung and for some reason this dung up on this weird lookout place where all these grass beds have been made from i mean i don't know people are familiar with how animals will bed down and make you know like beds in the grass and in that you can spot them all the time where an animal has slept or just relaxed for hours upon hours and in this weird little shelf this slope that it wasn't like at the very top of the mountain but it was a really good vantage point in that valley that you could look down and you could see in every direction and you know just a really good lookout point and it had you know eight nine 10 different spots where something had laid in the

grass and bedded it down and this dung that was all over the hillside just was so weird to me it was almost like a cross between like big dog turds and human turds like I mean it it was wasn't anything like the bear. And I've since found this same dung elsewhere. And so, I mean, I don't know. I'm not a scientist, but I believe that it is Sasquatch Dung. And so I look for that when I'm out and about. And so, okay, so I find this lookout point and then I go back to my bike. well by the time I get back to my bike it had been knocked over it had fallen over

and I've reviewed the footage and it did just fall over you know which bikes do you know they do just fall over so I don't know if that was necessarily I crashed into a cloaked Sasquatch or not I don't know if

cloaked Sasquads came over and pushed my bike over but it was weird and then as I'm picking up my bike and I wasn't doing any overnight or anything. This was all a one day thing. I had to get back to my truck

so I was pressed for time and I noticed that I was missing a bottle of power rate that should have been in this little pack on the back of my bike. You know and I'm like well that's weird where'd that go? You know like okay it fell out when I crashed

so I'm going back that way so I'll pick it up on the way out And so I cruised through and I can't find that power rate anywhere. It's just gone. And bear in mind, like, there's nobody driving around on these roads at this time period. These are all gated off. You can't get out there without a key. And nobody was up working, doing any logging.

Nobody was driving in this area. And so the power rate was nowhere to be found, which is really weird because any piece of garbage on that gravel road would have stood out, you know, like a sore thumb. And then I drive down back. I'm heading back to my truck, but there was a bunch of places I planned on stopping on the way out and investigating. And so I pull into one of them and I go down this trail and I find this beautiful swimming hole and just this really amazing, amazing campsite.

And like Sasquotee said, just a beautiful spot. And I probe around, do what I can, and I actually found a big old agate. That was actually the first time, I believe that was the first time I found one of those agates, giant agates back in there. That's where the whole agate hunting back in there kind of became a thing. And so I'm going out to leave, and I get back to my bike, and I realize that my bear mace had gone. And I'm like, what the fuck?

how did my bear get bear where is it you know and so i'm thinking okay somehow it came off this thing and fill off so i ride my bike back all through the area where i crashed i ride all the way back up to where i'm below that what i believe is a day watcher point and it's just nowhere i can't find the bearmane and i can't find the power you know i still to this day don't know where they went. You know, I mean, it was really weird. I don't know what the Sasquatch would do with my bear maze, but, uh, I don't know. And, uh, I, so I get out of there, no problems, nothing bad happens. And that was my first experience with entering the valley, the valley, it's what I call Sasquatch Valley. Uh, you know,

it depends on who you talk to you. Some people would say, oh, guaranteed that Sasquatch. Someone else is going to say, oh, you know, it slipped off your bike and fell into the ditch and you just didn't find it. And who knows?

I can't prove either way, but it was really weird. I will say that. It was very weird, especially how much time I spent looking for these things to not find either of them. You know, that's pretty weird. I don't think it's even possible

that they fill off and landed in like the ditch line and wouldn't have been visible. I did just, I would have spotted them. It's really weird. And I do think they were picked up by something. I mean, something with fingers and hands that can carry a bottle and carry a little canister. You know, it's just really weird. So the next time I come out into this research area, it's, I don't know. a couple weeks later and I go back to that that beautiful campsite that I mentioned earlier

and I go hiking across the river and I take this little creek not little it's a good size creek I guess small river and I start tromping up this river and I'm walking right in the middle of the river pretty nervous going into this area I know there There's a lot of bear up there. So I decided to walk in the middle of the river because I've spent a lot of time walking in rivers. It's kind of a skill that some people have and don't have. Like I'm just really good at walking over slippery rocks

and walking through rivers. And so I'm totally comfortable just walking right through the rapids. I just have some river shoes on and jump right up the middle of the river. That way I feel if a bear or something were to rush me, I'm going to see it rather than if I'm walking on the shoreline of the river where I'm right in the brush, where a bear could easily just lunge out of the bushes, and I wouldn't have much warning. So by walking in the middle of the river, it just gives me a little bit more warning of predators or anything kind of coming at me.

But you do sacrifice any stealthiness. It's hard to be really quiet. You know, it's romping up the middle of a river. but it's hard to be quiet, period. No matter what you're doing in the woods, you're always making noise. It's so hard to be quiet in the Pacific Northwest woods. So I'm working my way up this river,

and I'm finding just mind-blowing agates all along the way. And then, I don't know, I'm probably about an hour into walking up this river, and I see up to the left, an upside-down tree, roots, you know, way up in the air, and this is a big old log that's probably 15 inches wide, easily 15 inches wide, and, you know, the root ball up in the air. And I was just dumbfounded, you know, like, okay, I came out here hoping to find a Sasquatch tree break or, you know, find something.

And to find an upside down tree, you know, it just blew my mind, you know. and I'm staring at it from the river and I know exactly what it is and I'm filming it from the river. And so I go over there, I climb up this little embankment and I get up into this field and there's a bunch of them. I mean, I'm filming and but a lot of them didn't have roots on them. And a lot of them actually had been cut by chainsaws, which, you know, it's to be expected up there because it's, you're talking, this whole area has just been logged over and over and over again. And so, I mean, if the Sathodges is walking around picking up logs, more than likely, they're going to pick one up that has been cut by a chainsaw at some point. And so some of these are actually pretty tall.

I mean, some of these trees are sticking out of the ground or logs sticking out of the ground were, I don't know, 30 feet up in the air. Some of them have roots. Some of them don't. You know, some of them are only eight foot. in the air, you know, some of them, all different sizes. And some of them aren't sticking perfectly straight up. Some of them are kind of angled, sticking out different ways. But it, you know, it was just amazing. Like I never thought that I'd be able to go back and show some of the naysayers in my life, you know, pictures of upside-down trees. And so as I'm walking through this field,

and I'm filming all this is being filmed I find this area in the grass where something had been bedded down and it seemed recent you know like it seemed like something could have possibly been actually laying there as I came into the field so it made me kind of uneasy and then I'm walking through the field

and I'm you know narrating as I'm feeling trees and I walk right into a pile of elk bone There was an elk skull and, you know, elk bones. It could be deer, but it just seemed like a bigger skull. If it was a deer, it was a pretty good size deer. But there wasn't any antlers. So it was probably, you know, a female deer or elk.

But I do believe it was an elk by the size of it. And so that was kind of scary, you know, kind of, you know. So I didn't spend a lot of time there. I made the videos. I saw what I saw. and I got out of there. And went back to the river. I just, I don't know.

I felt more safe walking up the river than being off in the bush in that weird little field. And so I went up and down the river that day and got a big old backpack of rocks out of there.

I went back to that same river and I'm pretty sure I was by myself on this trip. I'm usually by myself, but I've brought people out. Yeah, no, I was. I was by myself for sure. And I was hiking up the river, you know, retracing a lot of the same footsteps of I've already been across,

kind of rock hunting, kind of Sasquatch hunting, just trying to be proactive in this weird endeavor that I've, you know, taken up. And I passed my area where the upside down trees are and I was planning on, because I go up the river, then I walk back down the river. So I see everything twice the way I do this. And I was going to stop at the upside down trees and and video them on the way back. So I just skipped right past them. And then I get to this area where there's the beginning phases of a beaver dam being built. And I thought, well, how cool is this? I could actually get some game cameras set up here

and actually get, you know, piece by piece by piece, because beaver dams get huge. I found beaver dams in the woods that were, you know, eight feet tall. You know, huge, huge dams. Sometimes they don't always get that big. But I was looking at the topography, you know, the way the river and the way the valley, shaped and this Beaver Dam could potentially become one of those monsters.

And so I thought, well, that'd be really cool. I'm going to get some game cameras set up and get a record of how they build these things and, you know, make a video about it eventually because everything I'm doing, it's supposed to become stuff for my channel that doesn't exist that I hope to get built someday. And so I continue upstream and I'm seeing all these areas that used to be just covered with foliage and the beaver has eaten all the trees, chewed them all down, removed them, and he's building the dam with them. And then all of a sudden, off to my left again,

more upside down trees because I'd walked right past these things several times and couldn't see them because they were all blocked by the green foliage off the shoreline. The beaver had cleared it all the way. And so here's another site of upside down trees. You know, and it's just, it's, It was awesome. But these ones actually were smaller. There wasn't any, like, big, big, huge ones. But, I mean, they're still pretty impressive. They're, I don't know, 15 feet in the air.

I would say eight to 10 inch logs with roots on it, you know, stabbed into this ground. I mean, to dig in this dirt would be so hard because it's just river rock. like compressed river rock is is all it is so digging or you know stabbing a log into that that ground i mean it just doesn't even seem possible even like because i i have postal diggers for the work i do you know when people hire me to build a fence or something like that you break out a postal digger and if there's rocks it's so hard to dig in it i mean you're you're bit just bounces off of them and it just, it's a nightmare.

Your wrist just get hammered trying to control it, you know. Postal diggers are a nightmare, period. I've always hated running postal diggers. But I just don't even understand how anything could do this, could drive these logs into this river rock like they do. But I went over into this grassy area and there was some more upside down trees over there. I think there was like maybe five or six. this area they all seemed a little bit older than the uh the first the main upside down tree area

in fact there was one that i went up to and it it was old and it was a small upside down tree i mean it was like maybe up to my chest but it was a root ball up to my chest and it wasn't a big fat log or anything you know it was five inches or whatever and i went up and just barely kind of touched this thing and it broke and fell over and it was just old old decades i mean that one possibly been there for 20 years i don't know i have no clue but old and then i got down on my knees and dug in and and looked at the like where the log is actually in the earth and it was all very old you could see dry rot had set in and they'd been there they'd been there a long time some of them look obviously they've been there longer than others.

But what I think, you know, and totally just speculate on this, I think they have some kind of meaning, like maybe every now and then the new, I don't know, alpha that's in charge or something goes down there and drives something to signify. I don't know. They have meaning. I don't know for sure. It can't just be, I'm bold.

so I'm going to just pick a log in the ground. Like that doesn't really make sense. I do think there's there's some kind of message that has to do with why they do this. Oh, I would agree. Definitely. Yeah, it has to be. It's not just, you know, whatever. But, man, you have got some wild, wild stuff going on in your area.

It is just crazy, Hugh. Yeah, man, it's been pretty. exciting. I mean, and what's crazy is I this actual Sasquatch investigation it was the day before Father's Day that I had my

sighting. So I'm not a math expert. How many months ago would that have been? Do you know of the top of your head? I can't even think what the date is. What is? Father's Day, June. Let's see. I think it was June. June 16th.

So yeah, that's not long, dude. Yeah. Wow. That was this Father's Day is when I had. It was the day before it was a Saturday. And so, I mean, I haven't been at this very long. And I look at what I've already compiled, my evidence-wise. And then I go and I watch people's channels that have been around for years and years and years.

And like, I mean, I'm not trying to chew my own horn or whatever, but it's like, dude, in a few months, I've uncovered better evidence than what people have been. finding you know many many years of doing the research and it's area like everywhere I go everywhere I go I find gas what stuff like about a month ago I can't remember I was visiting my parents and talking about this stuff I do because my parents live in the area of where I research I mean they're I wouldn't say in the area but it's it's not that far away, you know, from where they live. So when I had the, uh, sighting when I, you know, my very first sighting, the day before Father's Day, um, I went right to my parents' house after the

siting to have dinner. That's where my wife and kids were at and that was what I was scheduled to do. And, uh, I'm telling them, you know, at first I wasn't even going to tell anybody because I, I've had some weird stuff happening. I've had UFOs. I've had paranormal things happen to me throughout my life. And nobody believes you. Nobody believes you when you tell them about these things. And so I was really debating whether or not I was even going to tell them about the Sasquatch.

You know, didn't want to have people roll their eyes. And then I really hate it when people pretend to believe you just to, talk about you behind your back, you know, like, oh, he's crazy, you know. And so the whole drive home, I was debating whether I was going to tell anybody or not. And then I get to my parents' house and, you know, my wife probably saw a weird look on my face or something, you know. And she's like, what's going on? And I'm washing my hands and I'm all filthy, dirty because I've been breaking rocks all day. And so I just tell it, like, and what's crazy about me,

seeing the Sasquatches the night before I was talking to my parents about some of the videos, you know, of the close-ups that Todd's standing provided from the faces of the Sasquatches because a lot of people don't know that those exist, whether you want to believe they're real or not, but a lot of people have never even seen Todd's videos. He's not really very well known when you compare his footage to like the Patterson Gimlet, You know, like everybody's seen those Patterson Gimlin footage, but not a lot of people have seen Todd's standing's footage. And so it's just crazy because the night before I went up to do the rock hounding,

I was talking about Todd's videos and about the Sasquatch faces. And then I go up the next day and I'm rock hounding and I see a Sasquot. So then when I come back home, you know, it was just really weird to be coming back and being like, yeah, I saw Sasquatch today. you know, after just the night before talking about. The whole thing is just really weird. And so as I'm telling everybody about the Sasquatch that I saw, my dad, who's never had anything paranormal happened to him in his life.

He doesn't believe in anything, you know, everybody's lying, everybody's a fraud or whatever. And he goes, oh, yeah, come to think of it. A couple years ago, I was up on such and such road up in the mountains. And I saw human footprints in the snow. Oh, wow. You know, and I'm like, dad, how have you never mentioned this to any of us? Oh, well, I just figured it was just a hunter.

And I'm like, dad, a hunter walking around in the middle of the winter and bare feet in the snow? Well, I don't know. I thought maybe he was just camping and maybe just left his camp to go take a picture. or something like that. Like, he goes, but they weren't huge. They weren't, you know, size 18s. You know, he said that the footprints were comparable to his size, you know. And that's what I'm like, well, dad, there are different size, you know,

footprints for creatures. They got to grow, you know, in order to get big. So anyway, so that was just kind of crazy, you know, that my dad mentioned the, you know, finding human footprints in the snow. And that was on a different mountain than my research area. But I know how to get to the area that he, where he found the footprints. And I actually have gone through that area. I spent the day up there.

And I found phenomenal tree breaks. And then I went into the forest where those tree breaks were at with my dog. I have a three-legged dog. She lost her rear leg when she got ran over. And he goes out a lot with me and does a lot of researching with me. But I'm limited on what I can do with her because if he hurts one of her legs, it's a big problem. I'd have to carry her. But anyway, me and her, we go into the woods underneath these tree breaks and I find a pile of bones in there,

just like the pile of bones that I found at the upside-down tree place. you know, and it's, it's just kind of creepy because typically bones kind of get scattered around, you know, just by animals, by nature. You know, when you find them piled in the woods, it's just kind of creepy. It almost seems like they're put there intentionally. And they're, and they're not always. I mean, they just kind of end up together when the animal decomposes. But it was just creepy. You know, I'm following some tree breaks. you know, into the woods in the area nearby where my dad found the footprints and just find a pile of bones, you know. And so that's really all I know about that area where my dad found the

footprints. That's a whole other wilderness that I would love to spend more time in and do more research in. I just haven't. But so anyway, I want to be talking about my dad. So I'm at my parents' house and I'm talking about my findings and what I'm doing. And my dad mentions this area that you can drive into, because that's a big deal. Like a lot of these areas that I'm researching, you can't drive into them. You have to have keys for these gates.

And so it's kind of cool when you can go to these spots and actually drive through them in your vehicle. And so my dad, you know, used to work for logging companies up in that area. and driving the logging truck. He was a truck driver. And so he knows a lot of cool spots up there, and he wanted to show me this area. So we drive out there.

It was my dad, my wife, and me. I think, yeah, it was just the three of us that day. And he takes me up through this wilderness, and we're driving around all day and going down random roads, and we go to this really amazing area that puts you right on this beach at the Columbia River, real private area right right on the beach big huge like palisade cliffs are right there just an

awesome area and i'm checking the sand like crazy for footprints because it was a really good sand for footprints and i'm not finding anything and i've been all over this wilderness all day looking for a tree break looking for something couldn't find anything i mean and i kept saying that's like god It's so weird. Like, this area just has no Sasquatch sign whatsoever anywhere. And then we're driving out and we're, I don't know, we're pretty far from where we were out at the river. We're almost getting back to where, you know, people live.

And I just, off to the left, there's this little side road and there was a tree that was kind of arched in a weird way. It just kind of caught my eye. And I'm like, you know what? I just want to check this road out. I'm just curious about something. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

I turn down this road and instantly like all of the, even my dad who I don't know if he's even a believer, you know, despite everything that's happened, he's still probably a doubter, but he pretends to be a believer around me. I don't know that he is a believer. But my wife, you know, and she, I think she's a believer now, but she's been a skeptic of a lot of stuff I've experienced. Like, she pretends to believe it, but I think she just doesn't really know what to think. Because people that have never had experiences like this, they just don't really even know how to, I don't know, how to even think that this stuff could possibly be real.

But so we're pulling down the road. I got two skeptics really with me. And instantly this entire road was arch trees after arch tree after arched tree, arches across the road. So we're driving underneath these trees. And these trees are all about, oh, about as big around as like my forearm, maybe a little thicker, some a little smaller, but something had taken every single one of these trees,

and these are maples, and bent them into arches across the road. So as you're driving through, you're going under all these arches. And then you look to the right, and there would be a tree break that had been bent over and broke. This whole road, and this road goes for about, I don't know, roughly a mile. And the entire road was just tree breaks and bends and arches.

I mean, it was just so weird that there was nothing in this area. And then all of a sudden I turned down this one road and it's just like a Sasquatch playground. And a lot of the tree breaks were old, dried up, old, like multiple years old. And then some of them looked like they were so fresh they could have happened that day. And then before the road ends, I look off to the left and there's like a creek probably that comes in. You look like a canyon. And I get out and I go, look, and something had taken these trees. And these trees are like 80 feet tall, but they're just really skinny, really skinny, like beanpole-like trees.

I don't know that they're fighting to get light or whatever, so they just stretch out like crazy. but something had actually taken three of these trees and bent them into each other and made an arch where the roots were on each side and then they had been twisted and almost braided into each other. And I videoed all this. I have video of all this. And it's just this impossible arch

where the trees are just going up under, under, under. I mean, there's no way a windstorm. storm, a tornado, a hurricane. We don't get any of those in the area that I'm in anyway. But they do get heavy wind, really heavy wind from time to time out there. But there's just no way anything could have done this without coordinated, intentional fingers. You know, it's, and so that, anyway, that was just a really interesting thing. Because it's almost like anywhere I go up there, I'm going to find super, super,

significant Sasquatch evidence. I mean, it's just everywhere I go, there it is. Like some of it's more vague than others, but this whole entire area. I don't know if it's one big tribe of them or if it's, you know, multiple tribes. It's, it's a big area, but it's, it's just inundated with it. And when I found this particular road that I'm talking about with all the arches, it seemed like we were a good 30 plus miles away from my main research area. And so at that moment, I thought, well, this has to be a different tribe of them,

because these tree breaks are a little different than the ones that I'm finding in my area. They just kind of had a different style to them in a way. way. But then when I actually pulled up the maps and really looked at, you know, the layout, the topography and everything, it was only about 10 miles away, you know, as the crow flies, which would be probably like 14 miles if you were to actually hike it going up and down the canyon walls and stuff like that. So it's not impossible that the same Sasquatches are covering the same ground, but yeah, I don't know how far they, you know, would migrate or what they consider just a stroll through the woods would be, is that 20 miles or two miles? You know, I have no

idea. Oh, I mean, it's got to be, I would think, a ton of miles, but, Mayhew, this, I feel like we're probably going to talk. I would love it if you would keep me up to date with what's going on. A follow-up episode might be a really good idea because I currently have, I think, 15 game cameras in this area. Holy mackerel, really? Yeah. And actually, no, it's like 11. I forgot.

I got a couple of my... Oh, that's still pretty awesome. Yeah. And, yeah, I got some... some big plans actually because it seemed to work last time on enticing them into my camp. And I'm going to really pursue that. So I probably will have some pretty cool follow-up stuff. That's awesome.

Yeah, definitely keep me in the loop with what goes on in your area up there, for sure. I do have footage of what I believe is a face of a Sasquot looking at me. but I couldn't get the camera to focus on it. And I was in a canyon on the slope. It was super sketchy. And then I also have another footage that was right at sundown. And I couldn't get the camera to focus. And so I tossed that camera side and pulled out another camera.

And by the time I got it up, there was nothing there. Oh, man. And another piece of footage, I got blobs, black blobs in a shrub. They seem to be moving, but I could, you know what I mean? So I have a lot of like maybe squads footage, but it's just I want, I want that million dollar shot. It'll blow up, you know. I would recommend to just put it all up, seriously. Put it all up.

People can, I mean, you'd be surprised. There's a lot of like really technical people that can even, they might be even able to help clear up stuff. but I would not, I would just put it all up. Because people love watching your journey as well. That's a huge deal. Absolutely, Hugh. Thanks again for coming on and for chatting. Yeah, man.
