I have spent many miles in the backwoods of Washington and some of Idaho backpacking, fishing and just roaming around since the late 50's. Nothing has ever made me think of anything of a "bigfoot" type critter. Have seen lots of animals, but nothing unknown. I was not looking for a mythical critter. When I was 14, I wanted to believe but now being old and crotchety, bah! When the Patterson sighting was publisized a friend joined up with a bunch of other folks and tried to respond to "Bigfoot" sightings around the U.S. They spent lots of $$ and time following up but never could find anything. I am a doubter. I wonder why the original poster would want to make a deal out of this but want to keep secrets.

I saw a new TV show, Bob Saget Strange Days, he joined up with a bunch of local OP Bigfoot searchers, pretty lame. Anyone else see this.
