The irony of this place was that I was not looking for a new research location. Sometimes things happen for a reason and this location may be one. This location has the honor to be named after my loyal companion by the name of Roo. I had adopted her over six months ago from a shelter. She was found as a stray who was abused, neglected and starved. She has a gentle, loving and very loyal heart. I am not sure what made me go when I saw her profile picture online but I felt I needed to see her. Now she is happy, content and 15 pounds heavier. I could not ask for a better furry friend.
The reason I mention this is because I was planning on traveling to the state of Washington to a campout that I have been planning on going to for over a year in July. Now that I adopted a dog that needed to be socialized and to learn people are good, I needed to see how she would camp. So my husband and I decided to go camping a couple of weeks before the campout. We were not looking to find an active Bigfoot location but we knew we were camping in an area that they are known to be in. In fact we did not investigate this location for signs of Bigfoot activity. We only looked for a secluded and quiet spot to introduce camping to Roo. Hmmm...
It was a good location. A place for Roo to run and explore without too much signs of deer and other wildlife for her to chase and get lost. We had explored an area across the ravine from us. Much to our surprise we had found some structures we suspect were Bigfoot related.
Once it got dark we sat around our campfire and then Roo started to get nervous. She is not a nervous dog. Very laid back. To my surprise I heard a couple of tree knocks. Off and on until 10:00 pm, Roo began to try to climb into our laps and kept watching the edge of the ravine behind us. She was so nervous and getting a bit freaked out. I had reassured her and had her lay down between my husband and I. I had put her leash on just before all of this started to happen. Thank goodness. I think she would have bolted on us and probably would have lost her in the forest. At one point she turned and growled a little scared bark at something that was right there behind us. It happened again. I suspect one or two had approached us closely and Roo let them know that was too close!
Between 10:00 and 10:30, we started to hear rhythmic wood knocks across the ravine from us. We heard them where we had found some structures earlier in the day. About 1/2 way through the knocks I realized I had my camera on me and turned on the video to record the last few minutes of the knocks. It had paused in knocking so I had my husband knock back. The knocking started up again just before he knocked. We sat there amazed at the knocks. We knew exactly where the knocks came from. Roo, my husband and I had turned and listened to the knocks.
This is the recording. I have not done anything to it except put it on youtube so I can share it with you and others. You will hear Jon knocking loudly and the knocks from them that were quieter and from a distance.

Pretty cool for not looking for an active Bigfoot location and found one any ways.
So that is why this place is called Roo's Place. Each time we go it gets better and better. So until next time:
SQUATCH ON!
