Bigfoot (camp, living in, land)

[michmoldman]

I have always been interested in coming out that way to fullfill a boyhood fantasy of mine to see if I could get a glimpse of bigfoot. Well, that and because it is absolutely gorgeous out that way, but I'm just curious if anyone here has actually seen it? And where are the best places with the most sightings? Maybe northern Calif. is the better place to go? Either way, I will get out there one day.

While you are at it, why dont you make plans to go to Scotland and see the Lochness Monster!?!

I assume you are joking. Surely you must be.

You have as much chance of seeing an authentic Sasquatch in Washington as I do of seeing a giant lumberjack with a large blue ox in the upper Midwest. The closest you will get is in a biker bar.

Well I didn't see it, not that I was expecting to mich but it was pretty cool to be in an area that looked like he might be living in.

I figure just go and enjoy Washington, it's really beautiful and any "wildlife" you happen across is a bonus.

Well, I was half kidding when I posted this, but I have always been interested and just think it would be awesome to camp where it supposedly lives. Just would make it that much funner. I plan on coming that way in the next few years.

Yeah, I'm not a huge believer in the Big Foot but it does interest me, unexplained things of that nature. I find them fascinating. AND I'd love for them to be true, I just suspect that they're probably not. NO MATTER! Half the fun is not knowing!

I admit when I was in the US I was much more concerned about BEARS and cougars when we were out traipsing through the National Parks BUT there was a particular part of the river bed we spent the afternoon at near Lake Quinault and I took some pics and made jokes to my companion that he looked just like Bigfoot in that setting . The way he was walking and the layout of the land not unsimilar to pics I'd seen of Bigfoot. Less grainy and more defined of course! But the area was such I'd not have been surprised to see him pop out of the forrest!

Regardless of whether you come across Bigfoot or not I can't recommend exploring that part of the world to enough people. It truly is magnificent!

Oh and for the record, I'm VERY keen to get back to Scotland so I can peer wonderingly at Loch Ness and see if I can see Nessy.

Then you need to head into the Olympic National Forest or Olympic National Park. Plenty of geat hiking trails and pretty country!

I'm a Bigfoot skeptic, but I like to hike in wooded environmnets.

Anyay, you do not have to visit the PNW (although it's well worth it from a hiking viewpoint) to experience 'Bigfoot Country", whatever that is.

See map above.

I'm having trouble imagining a Bigfoot running around Rhode Island. but one never knows....

Because of the famous film, I'll probably always think of Del Norte County, CA as ground zero for Bigfoot, followed by neighboring Humboldt County (both at the lower end of the Cascades)...

Too bad we don't have any alleged sea monsters in Washington state, like the only back east in Lake Champlain.
