Bigfoot

[Pathfinder1]

Hi...


Maybe the wild hogs killed them off.

On the other hand, on my last trek in Nepal, some of the sherpas were talking loudly, pointing to something, and yelling "Yeti, Yeti".

When I got to where they were, I saw that they were pointing to something in the snow. It was the largest somewhat human-like fresh footprint I had ever seen. Finally we had proof. I wanted to try and preserve the footprint, but had nothing suitable available. So, I gently sliced the footpring out of the snow and carefully enclosed it in my sleeping bag.

When we got back to our base, I found that the giant footprint in the snow had melted. That was tragic, I wouldn't give up, though. I poured out the melted footprint into a glass jar, and have it to this day to display to any doubters.

Never saw one or even evidence of one. I think if they were here somebody would have actually taken a picture of it by now.

It's possible that new, strange and unusual creatures exist that might resemble something of a Bigfoot nature, but if we're talking an upright ape/gorilla/man/Chewbacca hybrid, no I don't think that exists.

Nope, I haven't seen one and don't plan to sneak up on one either. It's a good thing they are shy and like to avoid us.

Iowa? Maybe they are the corn field artists? Sorry, but it is hard to be serious about Bigfoot. I have enough to think about hiking alone in bear country and watching out for snakes and trying not to get hurt. Containing real fears is sufficient without worrying about angels and demons or freaky people.

It's funny... People will say "I won't believe in Bigfoot unless you show me proof", whereas the same otherwise logical people will say "(insert religion here) is the only way. You have to prove me wrong, otherwise I have to be right".

I think there are (physical) things out there that we may not have discovered, as well as things out there that we may assume are gone, and are not. Remember the coelacanth?

In 1964, an old Ponca gentleman (84 years old) told me his grandfather, as a small boy, was part of the band that killed the last pazzu tonka (big nose) in the Niobrara river bottoms in Nebraska. That could have been in the early 1800's, which defies all known scientific studies of the mastadon in North America. Was the old man telling a story? Or are we so vain to think we have all the answers?

Science finds a fossilized bone fragment and builds a theory around that finding, and as more fragments are found, the theory enlarges and since the newest fossil they have found dates way back, that becomes the latest parameter that species lived.

I'm still not saying mastadons ran around N. America until the 1800's nor am I saying Sasquatches still wander around the world, but I will say we still have a lot to learn about this planet.

You may be right but Iowa's not that highly developed. I've been there on numerous occasions and have seen some creatures that, had they not been wearing clothes, could easily have passed for bigfoot.

Maybe Sasquatch is a descendant of the Giants? Who knows? There is too much yet to learn about our little world to deny much.

I guess a lot of you haven't been in Iowa much. It's not just corn fields. There's many vast and wide and dense woods that follow the rivers. Google Earth it sometime.
