I will be giving my first presentation on the 3rd of June. I recently was given this cast to borrow and thought perhap it would worth including into the mix.
It is 16x6
More to come later on it.

New Toys for 2 Boys
I was walking through ye-old Costco yesterday and stumbled across more then usual samples of Dubliner Cheese and Prune Juice. A little tiny mountable stealth cam, hidden away in the corners, told me, begged me to come closer. As I walked over, a gentleman who managed the display asked me "If I had ever used one, and what I wanted to use it for".
So here is latest expenditure folks. Hope I get some good videos on Memorial Day to post.
At this point I said, I think it would serve as a great hiking tool and if I see Sasquatch all the better. The guys eyes light up not knowing if I was joking or not.

AND NOW SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT
Jude and I are maintaining a pretty high energy level to plot out where our next researching station will be. Jude is pretty young for the deeper woods and darker nights, but I think he gets the idea that some of this stuff has to be in stages and levels. He knows sometimes I have to go out by myself and that I am protected, but he thinks I only carry a can of bug spray. I guess against Sas, it would be viewed that way.
Not sure I should tell him to much about just how crazy some of these trips are while I am without him. He may think my life is at risk. Is it? I would say overall I stay fairly close to town, 1 hr or 2 hrs away. I always let someone know when I am going. I always let someone know where I am going. except you the reader.
I have not told you exactly where I go alone. That is until know.
Before I do, I would like talk a bit about my conversation I have had with eyewitness reports. the 1st one is with a gentleman whom saw one 22 feet away and the other was with a Indian that saw one at 50 yards.
Both these encounters were pretty brief and had little to publicity locally or elsewhere. In fact they both seemed pretty ok with the fact that they had this happen and it was going to remain close to the vest for the rest of their lives.
I am not sure why they told me, other then I seem like a honest guy, which I am, and that I was not going to judge them. Which I do not!
Both witnesses describe Sas as being a creature highly misunderstood and vastly human like. In fact more human then animal. This notion has slowed down my search somewhat. The conversations I had with both of them was interesting just based on this compelling argument alone. Of course the Native from the Warm Springs tribe grew up hearing this off and on her whole life. But her conversation, which I am still trying attach on here, tells a girl that grew outside the Reservation, and did not hold now really hold the legends as significant to her own life. Having seen one now however, she describes a very metered connection to her tribe, her past, her overcoming of struggles and anger, as perhaps because of Sas. At least she was following that logic when I talked to her.
The other guy told me about how he really felt as though he had really found something much larger in Sas then just a large monkey. He seems to be very hesitant like the Indian that Sas should be sought after and that mainly has to do with just how human they are. I am not sure how it has effected his own personal life, other then to say I think he has more to say on the subject.
Both feel as though Sas can conduct stealthiness on an extreme level and confuse the wittiness at any given time.
Both are very nice people and I was very struck by there calm humility as they discussed what most call the impossible.
The interviews are changing some things as far as what I may or may not think. I do think Jude coming along is still a great idea, but I am going to scale it back a notch. I also am finding brand new reasons as to why I want to see Sas.
I will gather my thoughts about it and write more on this soon. 1st I have to get the audio up I mentioned and then a couple more pics.
Memorial Day is coming and I need to get ready for more adventures.

A test to see how my feet leave a track
I wanted to see how my track looked in the snow upon walking and stepping rather hard. This snow was pretty deep and soft. The sun had really worked on it for a while and it was easy to make a print. you can tell just how thin the width is between mine and something hairy.The Pioneers leaving there mark and autograph
This image was Scotch taped to the wood panel wall, and as you can see...bares the name of Rene. A force that I have only seen in scratchy old films, and rough sound bites. From what I can tell a true character.The other images where just as random, and it is more of Patty doing her thing. The owner of the store had no idea is Rene had hung these or the previous owner.
I imagine its a musky aroma,eh?
Came to filler-up near Cougar and thought this was worth a photo. We then took a look at the map and decided that we just had hike into Ape Cave.
As we hiked in, we were really unaware to just how much sun was pouring down and at the same time there was so much still so much snow. I guess it still is April!
I couldn't help but imagine myself down there long before America came into being and tourist looked to its entryway as test to see just how insufficient their Coleman lantern is!

I couldn't help but imagine myself down there long before America came into being and tourist looked to its entryway as test to see just how insufficient their Coleman lantern is!It is getting increasingly hard to make these 2 day trips without any real night time investigation to go on. Jude is just not ready for these and I don't blame him. After coming across some of the largest cast;Let me stop myself, the only cast we had ever seen up close, the phenomena has taken on a whole new significance. The below images are cast Jude found, and only Jude really made happen... by insisting that we pull over for a break. Thank God for little buddy or I may have never been able to make an offer on such a beautiful find. 
Before I speak on these cast. It is hard to speak on just how large the 2nd set of cast are, without being able to pull them out and measure them. I have a shot below of Jude in the frame, but that does not do either justice. I would say though after careful estimations, the one below is 15-16 inches.
The one below it I would estimate at a larger scale by about 2 inches at least. It would be around 18 inches. I am curious at if I am correct or not. I did inquire to the old man who looked like a Scooby-Doo villain, if he would be into selling these. He said he would have to check, because the bank owned his property. I then told me that these where not his cast, nor was only of the stuff on the wall. He gave a phone # for the new owner, that owned these cast, but did not cast them. I forced my good charm as much as possible and found at that the owner of the store was only 1/2 mile away. Jude and I met with him and made a pretty good $ offer. He said he needed to check with the bank and that it would be better if I called in a week. If you are able to look very close at the last one, you can see a red colored stamp. As far as I can make out on zooming in at 200% it says BF TRACK 1993. It is pretty hard to see. That would take it out of any that I thought it was associated with. Certainly if it is a reprint it could be a duplicate. Guess we will need more advice.

2nd Expiditon- this time north to St. Helens
Yesterday Jude and I went to St. Helens area and made some good leads on some interesting Sas finds. We were unable to really pull into town quick enough to camp any where other then off the road in Cougar,Wa.We came accross these fantastic statues of Sas and thus really made our closest encounter! Jude thought we looked like twins. 
Here is my little Juvi- It looks like Uncle Harry has got a firm Grip
