(LONG) Bigfoot Is Dead

Wallace goes public with his monstrous prank after his death at age 84 snip good stuff, not all true Ray was a joker and an original character. However, I seriously doubt his "confession" will sway true Bigfoot devotees pro or con. I recommend Robert Michael Pyle's book, Where Bigfoot Walks, for a good holiday read. Many native people take BF seriously. I've been warned about the big guy myself when cruising certain tribal forestlands. The original article of the Lost Cabin Mine would have placed the location near either Mt. Adams or Mt. St. Helens (which also has an "Ape Cave"). The story was that after finding a rich placer deposit, several miners woke up to large rocks bouncing through their log-cabin Sounds like a cool spot. I worked on the Orleans District in the mid 70's - that's where Bluff Creek is. That combination of extreme terrain and isolation is actually pretty common in the coast range - no matter if the tract has been roaded. It's a very steep, rugged place, covered in poison oak and big trees. Believe me - the Big Guy could have mooned Bf investigators from 15 feet off any road and nobody would have been the wiser. Had a barracks mate there called Bigfoot too. There may be some confusion in the name as well. The native Americans called the original creature Sasquatch. There was also a giant native American named Bigfoot, who also lived in Oregon and Idaho in the 1870s. That was during a time when it was pretty politically unpopular to be native American: kind of like being a Democrat today. Daniel B. Wheeler www.oregonwhitetruffles.com |
