Lets just say that I was a bit nervous going to bed at Roo's Place this weekend. It was the first time back since I was touched twice two weekends ago. I did not think much about it until we went to bed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let me tell you what had happened there at Roo's Place this weekend. I would call it an average weekend but it still turned out to be interesting with some physical evidence. Jon had suggested once he heard the fire ban was lifted that we should go camping. You know me. So we did. I know most people are not happy when they go camping to have rain but we were. To see moisture all this week and then on our way up to Roo's Place made my heart happy. It was heart breaking when I went earlier to Roo's Place and it was so dry. Even the small spring in one of the ravines had dried up this spring which we have never seen before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had set up our camp and then the clouds rolled in again so we decided to sit it out in the car. We kept the windows down until it rained real hard. At one point Roo had started to do her grumble growl, sniffing the air and was watching the tree line to the right of the car. I looked but was not able to see anything. Which seems to be normal. LOL Probably 5-10 minutes after this a big buck comes out of the tree line in front of us. He was so cautious and nervous! He was acting like he knew something was up but could not figure out where. He walked right into where Roo was looking. Another buck followed after the first one. He was acting the same way.</div>

Once everything was dry enough to explore I went and checked several spots that I have been having things going on. I went over to the glyph area to see if there were any changes and I could not detect anything but noticed something was added across from where I have had some exchanges. There was a quartz rock right by a tree where in the past during the first and second summer I had been doing some exchanges with some glyphs right by an asterisk. Since then the asterisk has disappeared and the exchanges moved to the current spot where my daughter Jennifer had made the first move to share. I was gifted with a piece of quartz! What I found interesting was there was no way there should have been a piece of quartz there. I Know because I looked at the spot two weekends before and it was not there. In June, I had done some rock hounding with my friends from Nebraska at a spot not too far from Roo's Place when they came for a visit. Also I was told Cassie was gifted with quartz from the group the night before they left to go back to Nebraska but they did not say anything about finding some quartz here at this spot. I think Cassie was not the only one gifted with some beautiful quartz. I love rocks so getting one makes it special. </div>

What a great way to start my weekend! I went and looked for marbles but to be honest I was not expecting to find any. It has been raining for over a week and likely if there were any they would have washed down into the bottom of the ravine. Jon and I had heard what we thought were soft wood knocks off and on and then suddenly Jon asked me, "Do you think it is a clap instead of a knock?" What we were hearing was not real loud and did not sound like wood on wood. So Jon went into the trees over by one spot where we were hearing what we thought were knocks and did a clap. It sounded exactly like what we were hearing! I am thinking the softer sound is a clap instead of a wood knock. I am amazed at how inventive they are and wonder if they change things up to see how we react? Maybe to see if we notice the difference and how we will respond.<br />
<br />
Once it got dark things did get a bit intense. It hadn't been like this in a while. Roo grumbled, growled, whined and tried to get into our laps many times. I was hearing movements around us. Roo watched all around and actually did some growls and a small woof at one point. I took some pictures. The first ones was without the flash with her trying to get in Jon's lap and then I used the flash when she would not sit or lay down but walked between Jon and I for a while.<br />

As you can see she was a very worried dog. I am pretty sure they came up real close to us when she did her "woof". The next morning I found a 12 inch right foot print when it stepped into one of the run-off spots about 20 feet in front of our tent and fire pit. It had toes but it is hard to see the toes because that part of the foot was on pine litter.<br />

Where you see my blue water bottle on the left was the 12 inch right print. There was another print not as clear that was a left foot 12 inch print. I measured heel to heel and it was 37 inches apart. A small stride but in a clothes line pattern. <br />

But that was not the only print I found! I found 16 inch one over by where Jonathan a friend of mine who camped with me a couple of weekends before and saw the red eye shine. It had also stepped into one of the run-offs from the rain. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Both of those prints were probably from the night before. They were not there before it got dark. Hmmm...Roo was telling me they were close. LOL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So when I went to bed I was so nervous! I was not expecting that. I eventually made Jon get up and move closer to the door so I could move my cot to the middle of the tent. Jon and I both heard something walk up to the tent and sniffed our tent. Other than that nothing happened except for my imagination. LOL The next morning I found some deer tracks over by the fire pit. It could have been deer or something tall and hairy that came up to the tent and sniffed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even though nothing happened to me in the tent this time it was OK. It helped me to get my courage back. To all who think I am fearless now know I am not so fearless. I just try to swallow my fears and stand my ground or in this case keep in the middle of the tent. LOL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So until next time my friends...</div>

I have only camped at Roo's Place once by myself with my dog Roo. Many times I have gone up and stayed there by myself for most of the day until Jon would show up a little after dark. He would come up after doing patrol. Or leave very early on Saturday morning and be back early evening. When friends come I would be there before they get there or they would follow me up. Once time my daughter and son-n-law spent hours trying to find Roo's Place. We ended up having Jon get in the car and look for them on the forest road. It is not an easy place to find. Which is why we love the place. I have always had someone sleeping in the tent with me and Roo. Until this weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jon was not able to go camping with me and so I invited my friend Jonathan to come. He had been wanting to go now for quite a while. There are many people who would like to go but I have limited it to certain friends and family. We don't want the place to get loved to death and the group may quit coming because of the people. Plus I only want people who would NOT come across as a threat to them. We do not allow weapons or electronics at Roo's Place. We have bear mace for the bears and we have our camera. So far the group seems to accept who we have brought with us and seemed curious. They seemed to be more active when it is mainly women but we still have some interesting things happen when the guys are there. Usually not as much or as intense but things do happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jonathan has never seen eye shine. Well, that had changed when he was at Roo's Place. Which I was not expecting. We usually get limited eye shine there and mainly later in the summer after we have been there several times. This was only the second time camping there this summer. Before it got dark I oriented him to where the horizon was and where the rocky outcroppings were located. I also showed him where they usually come up to watch us. This weekend reminded me strongly of the weekend Harriett and her husband Dick came a few years ago and he had his "Ah, Ha" moment. Dick was a total non-believer until that night when he saw 2 sets of eye shine about 10 1/2 feet from him when he looked out of the camper. He had many questions and was trying to wrap his mind around what he had seen. This also happened to Jonathan. He knew about eye shine but was neutral about it. Jonathan had to wrap his mind around what he had seen and analyze it. He now knows what eye shine looks like. LOL That night, Jonathan had seen eye shine several times and at different spots around us. One time he saw the red eye shine right in front of him moving to our right into the thicker part of the trees. I had seen it moments after he had. When we walked up to the forest road we had some very bright white eye shine watching us from the tree line across the forest road. In the past Jon and I have seen some there. This time it was very bright and much closer. Then we had seen the red eye shine several times after that when we were sitting around the camp fire ring with our light posing as the campfire. We were not able to have a campfire because of the fire ban.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jonathan had pitched his tent about 10 feet from mine. I had brought my small tent for Roo and I. I had mentioned earlier that I have always had another person in the tent with me except for one camping trip several years ago. Did not think too much about this since Jonathan would be in his tent 10 feet away. I would like to make a side note that for many years I have been known for not wanting to be touched when out camping. LOL It was a standing joke with several friends about this. I usually camp in a big tent and sleep as close to the middle of the tent as possible. Not that this had made any differences about being touched. 😟 Over the years, I have been touched 2 times with a possible 3rd time. You can read about them in my earlier posts in this blog. I have relaxed this stance but I am still not real keen on the whole touching thing. Much to my nerves' dismay. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During the day we did explore the area and I showed him several of the structures, glyphs and where the marbles were found. I also showed him across the ravine to where I had found prints and where we heard the rhymic knocking that was heard that first night camping there. I have found that if you do some exploring in the area and make your presence known, we tend to have more stuff happen at night. I was on record to not expect much and reminded Jonathan not to expect anything. Then we had the great eye shine that night but then I was only expecting them come up to the tents, nothing else. Which is normal there at Roo's Place. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We did hear them come up to the tents. They seemed to walk very closely around Jonathan's tent and I heard them do this a couple of times. They did come to my tent but that is normal for Roo's Place. What they did twice is what I was not expecting. Also Roo did something she hasn't done there in a long time. She did single short frantic barks twice. Both times before something happened to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You see a couple of minutes after she did the first single frantic bark I was in the process of turning from my right side to my left side. As I was turning, it felt like something either grabbed the top of my right foot or touched real hard. I did a small "Oh!" and just laid there trying to figure out what had happened. I am positive something either grabbed or touched real hard when I moved. I then moved closer to the middle of the small tent. Jonathan said he heard me when I asked him if he heard me make any noises. Only one time he said. The second single frantic bark Roo did was a little later. I was laying on my left side with my back to the tent wall. SOMETHING POKED MY RIGHT SHOULDER! I know that feeling because this had happened to me a few years ago at Central Colorado with another Investigator named Tony. This is also in one of my earlier post on this blog. I then proceeded to move Roo over and made sure I was in the middle of the tent. Some how I went to sleep. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you look at the picture above with the tents, the yellow one to the left is mine. It has a rainfly. I was perplexed about how either touch could have happened. Especially the shoulder touch. So I recreated the scene to see how this could have happened or if it was my imagination but I know I was touched! I put my mattress with my sleeping bag back in place and then checked it out. There is no doubt about the shoulder touch. It had touched me even though there is the rainfly. Where I was positioned it was possible. Now the foot incident was a bit discerning to me. I suspect it tried to grabbed my foot by reaching in under the rainfly. I did not realize where my feet was positioned it was right under the edge of the rainfly. Very easy for it to happened and feasible.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To me this was a game changer here at Roo's Place. This physical touching is a new dimension and makes me a bit nervous. I was not expecting this and not sure how I feel. The one thing I did realize as I was driving home from Roo's Place was that even though I had a friend there, I was alone in the tent with just Roo. What does this mean?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have had many weird and scary moments in my journey of discovery. Many questions and some heart felt moments. So where does this journey go in regards to Roo's Place? The one thing I do know-I will continue to go to Roo's Place. I am ready to go to the next level. Whatever that means.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

In the middle of June this had happened when I was asked to go camping with a friend and his daughters at a location near where one of his daughters had a sighting. We had explored in that location last fall and wanted to camp there. This was our first chance to do so. Any time someone asks me to go camping and do some Bigfoot exploring, I'm in. LOL So Jon, Roo and I joined Bryan and his two daughters.</div>

It was love at first sight with Roo and the girls. I think Roo would have brought them home with us if she could. This weekend was a few first for the girls in regards to experiencing Bigfoot stuff. They had an interest in Bigfoot because of their father Bryan. They were eager to learn and had some good questions. My kind of people. Plus they knew how to play Phase 10. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Friday night not much happened except for someone or something opening one of the plastic tubs. Then walked around the tents and the campsite. We had no damage and nothing was missing. Also we were under a fire ban. So we did not have a campfire. That was OK. We still talked Squatch and about other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Saturday we did some exploring and then played some Phase 10. It was the nighttime that was very interesting. In this next picture look closely. I thought our campsite was on a ridge and it went down to a ravine behind the campsite. It does but it had something else I did not realized until later. It made me realize how much our hairy forest friends use the environment to their advantage and we humans are very clueless. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you see the ridge? It is close and almost the same height as our campsite. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is about 40 yards away. Remember that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The moon was very pretty that night. It was a very bright crescent shaped moon. As we walked around on the forest road in the dark, I was trying to use my different settings to take photos in the dark. I have not had much success but I liked to try. One of the settings uses a flash before going off and it is a setting for taking pictures in the dark. I tried to take a picture of my tent showing the glow of the small light I had turned on. I wasn't able to take any good photos. When we walked back to the campsite I told everyone how the moon looked cool and wanted to try to take a picture of it. It was positioned at the back of the campsite to the left and 3/4 of the way up in the above picture. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I took a couple of pictures but they were blurry so I decided to try to take a picture of the moon with the dark setting that had a flash. Mind you, all I was thinking of was trying to take a picture of the moon. I did not think about if there were any Bigfoots watching us from that direction. Earlier we had seen some white eye shine back across the forest road and behind the cars. Not in this direction. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I took a picture and was upset I did not have a picture of the moon! So I took another one. When I looked at what I took, I thought I got something that may have been eye shine! So I took some more. Then there was nothing in my last picture. I was thinking we had one possibly 2 in the trees watching us. I was pretty excited. Then suddenly we had some red eye shine right in front of me. Then it flared up and I saw both eyes. One of the girls and I think Bryan were able to see the eye shine before it went away. I personally think it was letting me know it was not happy with the flashes from my camera. I told them I was sorry and will not do that again with my camera. That red eye shine is in my top 5 of the best eye shine ever. Again I was thinking they were in the trees. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We were pretty excited because both girls were able to see eye shine that night and one of them saw the red eye shine too. They were perplexed because what would have made this eye shine? We went through all of the possibilities and there was none. I knew because I have seen it many times and does have a distinctive look to it. Much like LED lights but twinkles and can flare up when you talk to it or go closer. It is even more distinctive when you see it blink. The girls were excited because they have now seen eye shine. We were all excited about what we saw and I may have caught the eye shine on camera. I would have to wait until I get home to check my photos on my computer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had a young small bear come into our campsite Sunday morning. That was a first for me. Bryan was able to scare it off. It was behind my car.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was Sunday morning when I realized that Bigfoot were not in the trees watching us with their eye shine! There was a ridge about 40 yards away and a perfect spot to watch us or any campers there. So we talked about coming back and named the location Moonshine. Because I was trying to take pictures of the moon and got Bigfoot eye shine instead. LOL </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This will be the only time with me trying to get pictures like that. I am not into trying to capture a photo of them or tricking them to get one. The main reason is that I know they are real and my journey is to learn more about them. Not to prove or make a circus out of them. I want experiences with them and if lucky to build a positive relationship with them. Unfortunately with me taking those pictures I have put myself at a disadvantage with them. It will be my intent to NOT carry my camera around at night and to keep it in my pocket at the campsite. I will take pictures of the beauty of Colorado and my beloved Roo or any physical evidence such as prints or structures. I will have to make amends and hopefully I can do this correctly in their eyes. I truly believe they are a wild human with human intelligence. So I will have to appeal to their curiosity and their primate/hominid characteristics. Make them realize that I am not a threat to their family.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want to see the pictures of the red eye shine they are not on the blog. I did get 3 photos of red eye shine but I am choosing to keep them in my collection of evidence. Why am I doing this? Partly to show my intent of what I am about in my journey of discovery. It is my personal journey and I am not doing this to prove anything. Even if I had managed to get a photo of one, I would not share it. I feel if I do share it then my intent and the direction of my journey will be not be what my heart says and what I want to accomplish. My actions and the choices I make does color my intent. How can I go back and try to establish a positive relationship with that group if I am secretly publishing the photos when they have no say over them? I would not like that myself, so that is why I am choosing to keep the photos and not to publish them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In my next post, I will be telling you about my next camping trip at Roo's Place. On this camping trip, Jon did not go and only Roo and I was in my tent. I think the group there had decided to take our relationship to the next level. I am not sure I am ready. Until the next post...</div>

Three of my friends from Nebraska came to spend the weekend with me at Roo's Place. They had such a fun time that they were wanting to come back. I am glad they did. I did warn them that usually the first camping weekend there are typically quiet. It ended up being a good weekend not as busy with Bigfoot activity we sometimes get there but we had some action.</div>

We had some knocks and eye shine each night. We found a quartz bed not too far from Roo's Place. Cassie loved the quartz! In fact the last night they were there I wasn't with them. I had to go home because I had to go to work on Monday. It was hard to leave them there. I have never had others stay without me there. They were a little nervous but all was good. When they got up in the morning there was some quartz left for Cassie! I guess the group there thought she needed more and had gifted her with some.</div>
<div>

<div>
She wasn't the only one that was given a gift...</div>

As I came up from the structure where most of the marble stuff has happened, there was a feather right on the pathway. It was not there 30 minutes before when I went down to the structure and I went the exact way. This is the first for me to receive a feather from the group there at Roo's Place! I have received feathers over the years from the group at my special spot. But that is another location and another group.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So for the first 2018 camping weekend at Roo's Place had turned out to be more active than I had anticipated. I even warned my friends not to expect much. LOL </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So my friends </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
SQUATCH ON!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My next camping trip was about 10 miles from Roo's Place where a friend's daughter had a sighting when she was about 11 years old. This place has the potential to be as active as Roo's Place. I can't wait to share that weekend with you.</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am always amazed when I get unexpected reports of possible Bigfoot from the families at my school. I don't advertise that I take reports and they come when I least expect them and from sources I would have never guessed.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This report comes from North Central Colorado from one of the state parks. I would like to point out that wild areas that have woods, running water or fresh water and food such as deer may be a good place to look. I have been in similar spots and have taken reports from the least likely areas because people assumed that Bigfoot will not be close to where people live. That is not the case. I am not saying they are in the big cities but more than likely in the outlying suburban areas <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">that have room for them to hide and move around that have some wild areas close by. I have investigated several areas you would consider urban. One boy found a 16 inch print! This was in his neighborhood and only about 5 miles from another report received of a visual a few months before! So don't think outlying neighborhoods, parks and open spaces are not used by Bigfoot. Remember they are primates and highly adaptable. Dumpster diving and food left outside for pets are an easy way to eat with not much effort. Plus if seen people will discount it as something else. Which is good for our forest friends to be able to hide in plain sight and being a mythical creature.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A father came in one afternoon and wanted to speak to me privately at my school. He wanted to ask me questions about something he had found while hiking with his family in North Central Colorado in one of the Colorado State Parks. When he told me where the location was I knew he wanted to talk about Bigfoot. That area is well known for Bigfoot activity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He had seen a set of tracks going up the side of the mountain just up from the trail he was on. They caught his attention and he hiked up to them. It was not an easy walk to the prints. Steep and rugged. When he got to the prints he was amazed to see that the prints were bare foot with toes. Only they were <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">much bigger than his foot. This father is 6 foot 6 inches tall and wears size 14 shoes! He said when he put his foot next to the print it made his foot look like a child's foot. He <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">estimated that they were several inches longer and double the width!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I asked him if he saw or heard anything but he said no. He also said this area is not used by people that much. He would consider it a remote area and have been there several times before because there are not people there like in other areas of the park.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So now I have another family at my school that believe they are real. Sometimes seeing something that cannot be explained and should not be there will make you think. I have stopped trying to convinced people about the existence of Bigfoot. Instances such as this and other happenings will change a person from a 0 to believer when it happens. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Its funny how an incident/finding/sighting changes a person perception of Bigfoot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have another report I will share with you soon. Hopefully I will be able to get into the woods to Roo's Place soon. I am anxious and getting antsy about going camping there. I have my fingers crossed it will be in the early part of June. Usually it is quiet there until June. </span></div>

It was quite refreshing to receive this report many years ago. What is unique about this family was that you don't have to point out the existence of Bigfoot. In fact this knowledge has been passed to the next generation in this family much like the early settlers. Who talked about the boogie man or MoMo or another name that these rural families had interactions with for years. This report came out of an area not too far from the Air Force Academy which has their own stories of the "watcher". <br />
<br />
There is a line of smaller mountains that follow from the north of Denver down to just south of Colorado Springs. Known as the front range. Most of this wilderness is part of Pike National Forest. There are many names that historically could have pointed to Bigfoot there. Such as Devil's Head or Monkey Creek. There are many reports coming out of this forest and we still receive some each year. <br />
<br />
Now this family lived right at the edge of Pike National Forest. In fact there is a ravine and creek right on the property. They lived on 5 heavily forested acres. They were so private that there were no window coverings anywhere on the house. This interaction was ongoing for over 5 years. They had bear, mountain lion and other wildlife visit their home continually while they lived there. They also had a group of Bigfoot that would visit. The one main difference between the wildlife and Bigfoot visits was how their dogs reacted. When they would hear from a distance a whoop, the dogs would cower and hide in the kennel until the next day. What did these dogs do when mountain lion or bear came by? They barked at them. When the family weren't sure what or who was out there they would see what the dogs were doing. They knew it was Bigfoot when the dogs were whining and hiding in their kennels or were barking like crazy at wildlife they smelled or heard. Smart dogs. There were several incidents that stood out and was shared with me. The first one I would like to talk about was the TV incident. I still smile when I think of this story. I think a group of Bigfoot became addicted to TV. LOL <br />
<br />
Remember I said there were no curtains or window coverings at this house? One time while the family was watching TV, the side of the house right behind them was slapped when they had changed the channel. The TV was directly across from the window that was very close to where they heard the slap.<br />
<br />
Another time the son called dad up to his room to tell him that one was looking in his window. Dad quickly grabbed a flashlight and flashed it outside the window and saw what he thought was a younger one. Even though the window was on the second floor the pitch of the roof was right by this window and there was room for one to stand there by the window. Perfect for a peeping Bigfoot.<br />
<br />
The daughter refused to go outside when she was by herself to feed the dogs when it was dark outside. She said she was too scared and something was watching her.<br />
<br />
Sometimes early in the afternoon they would hear a call or whoop from the mountains and knew they would have visitors that evening. They knew when they got close enough because that was when the dogs would go and hide in their kennels. In fact the dad would answer them back sometimes.<br />
<br />
Now why would a family have these stories and have kept them within the family? Because they knew no one would believe them. The reason why I knew about the stories was because the grandson was at my school and in my program. He shared with me about his family believing in Bigfoot and begged his grandpa to share them with me. This family is college educated and working in the corporate world. Not what you would typically think that would have these interactions. <br />

While I am waiting for my camping season to start at Roo's Place, I will tell you about a report I received in 2013. What is amazing about this report was that the mother did not know I have been investigating this location. What a small world we have sometimes. Lets just say I was not surprised it happened.<br />
<br />
I work at an Elementary School. One of the EA's (educational assistant) who sometimes would work for me at the Before/After care at the school approached me. She has 2 daughters who at the time this happened was 12 and 9. This happened just a couple of months before. She asked me if I thought there were Bigfoot at this location. It surprised me that she asked about Bigfoot. One note is that this family camp and hike all the time. She had something weird happened that scared her daughters and was puzzled because she felt it was in an area that seemed wild but thought it wasn't. I asked her where it was and she told me. I tried not to react since I am in this area all the time and very familiar with the location. I knew exactly where they were and to be honest not surprised it happened. The group there were very mischievous that day.<br />
<br />
The mother and her 2 daughters decided to go to an area to enjoy a nice afternoon. She had picked this area so the girls could play while she would read a book. The weather had been chilly and this was the first warm day in a while. It was not too far away and an easy drive. FYI-They have not been back since then either.<br />
<br />
This is her story:<br />
<br />
While she sat on the bridge reading her book, her daughters were playing in the creek. The girls were having a wonderful time and all were enjoying the warm weather. A little while later the 12 year old went to her mom and asked her if she is hearing some murmurs or mumblings. Mom then told her no and said to go play in the water. She came back a while later very upset and looking all around. She then asked mom if she was now hearing the murmurs/mumblings. Mom told her no. Then the 12 year old pointed to the willows and said she was hearing it from there and asked her what it could be. Mom then was a bit impatient with her and told her that where they were was a safe area and nothing will hurt her. She then told her to ignore it and go play with her sister. Then a while later the 9 year old came up to mom all teary eyed and scared. She was looking all around her and was visibly ready to run. The mom then asked her what was the matter. At this point she was thinking her suburban girls were acting a bit fearful of what she would consider common natural things. The 9 year old tearfully told mom they had to leave right now. There was something in there that scares her and they needed to go. At this point mom was thinking coyote or something like this but they have coyote at home and the girls were very familiar with them. She begged mom that they need to leave. The 12 year old came over and agreed. She said that every time she heard the murmurs she would stop to listen but heard nothing until she started to play again. Because both girls at this point were on the verge of hysteria she decided to pack up and then they left. The whole way back the girls were watching the willows and hanging onto their mom. Mom felt like it was a long walk back to the car.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of where this had happened:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Notice the willow all around. I took this picture when there were no leaves and it was very hard to see into there. Now imagine this with leaves like when they were there. No one can see in there. It is that thick and dense. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me show you something that was found a few months before:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2XqudoCJuvwmqq8bXC58_uAj6sq9DWg7R9QR-C0ULTk2RWJQ0u5jfci-3rRDjTl50hyPftyjtmVDir-FQrhaokQYnq_ubDbyTsy5a8cFzdL48fTKZdJZP_ACSdzTpbf82pXe6iQ4QjK01/s1600/016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2XqudoCJuvwmqq8bXC58_uAj6sq9DWg7R9QR-C0ULTk2RWJQ0u5jfci-3rRDjTl50hyPftyjtmVDir-FQrhaokQYnq_ubDbyTsy5a8cFzdL48fTKZdJZP_ACSdzTpbf82pXe6iQ4QjK01/s320/016.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
</div>
This is a 14 inch print with toes. This was found not far from where the girls had the weird experience. I have found several prints in the area including handprints. I also had a sighting 3 years ago of a reddish brown one close by. Am I surprised when the mom came to me? No.<br />
<br />
Is this a Bigfoot related experience? In my opinion it was. This whole episode happened over a couple of hours. Was one seen? I am not sure. I suspect the 9 year old saw one but she refuses to talk about it. Both girls were adamant that there was something in the willows watching them. They felt it was not something they should have seen/heard there. For me to receive a report like this out of the blue was so fascinating and is one of the reasons why I am on this journey of discovery. Would the group there do something like this and I will say yes. Over the years many unexpected and sometimes scary things has happened. <br />
<br />
What an amazing world we live in. Sometimes a little scary for some but still a fascinating world.<br />
<br />
SQUATCH ON My friends!<br />

Winter this year here in Colorado has been pretty much non-existent. When it did snow it was only for a dusting or a few measly inches. I know you can see snow in the pictures but normally what you see would be under 4+ feet of snow with a couple of patches of the ground peeking out because the sun had melted it. So far not this year. This means that Colorado will probably have a long DRY, hot summer with fire bans. Other places in the mountains have received some snow but below average. One positive aspect of fire bans/restrictions will be that most people won't camp if they are unable to have a camp fire. I will come camping regardless. I will just put one of my small battery powered lamps in the fire ring. LOL Another positive thing that has happened to us when there had been fire restrictions were some unnerving incidents. I am thinking with the lack of a camp fire and since we do not use lanterns or headlamps to light up our campsite, it will make it very dark with only a small camp light in the camp fire ring. Maybe we will get a run by or some in the trees ringing the campsite watching us. Roo will let us know. </div>

With the lack of snow, Jon and I had decided to make a day trip up to Roo's Place. We figured we had a good chance of being able to explore for the day there. We were right. We had no problems getting there. In fact it looked like late May not the first weekend in April. </div>

There were no signs of people being in there. We also had seen no signs of our hairy friends. We looked around to see if we could see any marbles but did not see any. Where the glyph was located was one of the few spots that was under about 4 inches of snow. I did not disturb it. I will wait until it melts and look. I was hoping to find some prints but nothing. I also noticed there was not much in the way of tracks of other animals including squirrels or deer/elk which I would consider unusual.</div>

Even though it was just a day looking around and not finding anything, it still was a day in the forest. Maybe next time I visit there will be some prints showing they had come to check to see what we were up to. You never know. </div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Did you know how cold it is in Nebraska in March? Nebraska was having mild weather until the weekend we go to camp there. That is what I called the "Robert's luck". LOL I had a heater in my tent, a fleece liner in my sleeping bag and 2 blankets and I still was cold. When we checked the temperature mid morning is was 30 degrees! It also rained and sleet very early. Thank goodness our tent was dry when we packed up. It started to rain/sleet at the very end. Let me just say that my new sleeping bag was a big disappointment. It was rated for much colder but it did not keep me warm.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, despite the cold it was a lot of fun. Some of my Nebraska friends camped with Jon. Roo and I. We even had a young man we met at the conference come and camp with us with his older brother. It was great. Brats always taste better cooked over the campfire. It does get me to think a camper may not be a bad idea sometimes.</span></div>

In one of my earlier posts I had talked about the sighting from two 17 year young men. That was where we camped. In fact we camped right where they saw the red eye shine. We walked around and explored this location. What is great about this spot was the location. Lots of trees, deer and the Platte River. Easy in and easy out. Do I think they live here? No. I suspect they use this place to hunt and to move around. We did find some prints down in the cattails. Perfect place to hide to ambush ducks and other water fowls. It looked like they dug some up too. They weren't real big prints but we know they were fairly recent since we had a hard rain with several inches the day before.</div>

Cassie has a good eye and was the one who found the 2 prints. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was pretty quiet for the evening and night. Tammie and Janice said there was the sounds of soft pings hitting the side of the camper. Much like small pebbles hitting the sides. I suspect they do that to see if we are awake. They may have been there but didn't do anything since we just announced we know they are there with my whistle and calls. I did not see any eye shine or hear anything. I expected that. It was our first time in there. I am going to try to go in there around the same time of year the boys had their sighting. Maybe I will be lucky. Finding those prints with toes in the cattails was a great find! I want to go back again.</div>

I took my dog Roo hiking at my special spot about a week ago. I take her with me when I go down into the creek area. I like to check several spots along the creek for prints. I have found in the past prints during winter time. So when it is too slippery and icy up by the cliffs I go down to the creek area. There seems to be about 3 miles of the creek where I find most of my prints. This morning I checked some areas along the creek that I don't check so closely but had decided to take some pictures of the ice on the creek before it melted away. I came across a couple of prints that made me think Bigfoot but I have some reservations. I will share them so you can look at them. One had someone stepped on it but missed the toes. LOL The toes were wide and big. The span was about 6-7 inches across. Much bigger than a bear and straight across like you would expect for a Bigfoot not a human. The other was a slid mark and I could see no treds from a boot. It looked like toes marks. Plus there was some mud that was thrown to the right of the slid mark like the toes had grabbed the mud and when it picked up its foot the mud was released to the right much like a bare foot would do versus a booted foot. </div>

These were the only prints I found on this day. I was excited by my finds. They really stretched my knowledge and made me think.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So about 1 1/2 hours later I decided to walk back to leave. I prefer to go early in the morning because I seemed to find more stuff when I do. Roo was getting tired and I wanted to check my pictures when I got home.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Guess what I found on the trail? A white marble!!! It was not there 1 1/2 hours ago. </div>

<div>
This is something new for this spot. The whole marble sharing at this location was always up by the cliff area and also at another location called Roo's Place. Not here down by the creek. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
FYI-A couple of weekends before when I was in there with Roo, it was a difficult time for Roo. She was nervous and indicating that there were Bigfoots close by. In fact we smelled the skunky dead smell as soon as we started on the trail. We heard knocks, some type of calls (not sure how to describe them) and we had some rocks thrown at us. The last rock was about 4 inches long, white and landed about 10 feet to my right as we left the tree line. Lets just say Roo was very happy to leave that morning.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A bit of history:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been at this location since 2011. I am a known person but I was not at this location much last year. Due to many reasons including my health and spending time with my family. So I had decided for 2018 I was going to make an effort to be at this location as much as possible. This place holds a special place in my heart. I had my first sighting, whoop, whistles, grunt, growls and prints at this location. I also had found a massive shelter in 2012 up by the cliffs. Plus I had learned to gift and share glyphs. One of my favorite memories was being whooped in as I climbed up towards the cliffs. They were ahead of me and far enough ahead in the trees that I could hear them whooping but not see them. This location is a wonderful spot and I am quite protective of it. You are welcome to go back and read my early posts about this place.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So why the rock throwing and the marble?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They know who I am. I always announce myself when out exploring. I do my whistle and my calls. Much like someone ringing a doorbell when visiting. I figure I am the one visiting and need to let them know I am there. Plus if you go enough they will recognize you when you have the same routine. I know that I haven't been in there as much as before so it is what I would call getting reacquainted time. The smell, calls and rock throwing was to gauge my reactions to see if I am still the same and also to remind Roo of who lives there. So when I went back and found the prints, it was letting me know they are still there. By using the marbles I feel was their way to let me know they are there and know who I am. I know there will be many who may scoff at this but I don't really mind or care because I am the one who has history with this group. I have many memories both full of wonder and some scary ones. I am not one to think everything is Bigfoot but some of the stuff does point to them because of what I have experienced, seen and found. I am secure in what I know. What I find interesting is when good friends who I trust who are experiencing the same things or similar experiences. That points to me that I am on the right track.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what will happen next?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
SQUATCH ON! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We started our camping season at Roo's Place at the end of May. Not much really happened but we have found that May and early June seems to be quieter there. It tends to storm quite a bit during this time of year. Even though it was quiet it was good to start our camping season at Roo's Place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next time we went camping at Roo's Place was in June. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a little different. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had decided to go camping with just Roo and myself. At the last minute I grabbed the camping gear Saturday morning and went up. Once there I did my normal routine. Every time I camp there I always do this same routine-Whistle, whoop and then one of my special calls. I figure it is my way of ringing the front door to let them know I am visiting. What I find interesting-Roo is fine until I do this and then she wants to get back into the car or hide in the tent. LOL </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then I had set up camp. Once I was done I sat down to do some reading. In the past when I would do this some interesting things would happen. This time was no different. I sat down close to the tent facing it under the giant pine tree that I love. While reading I noticed that Roo was very restless and kept moving and positioning herself after looking into the tree line several times. She would look at a certain spot and then move herself to be between me and what she looked at. At this point I figured we may have a visitor. I told her to lay down and relax. Except she wouldn't relax. She kept watching the trees. Then she was watching to my right very intently. I kept reading. Then Roo got up and laid to my right, next to my right foot. I would say a couple of minutes later to my right as I was reading my book, out of the corner of my eye I saw a large black upright shape race by!. About 15-20 feet away!! I did not hear it until it went by me. It was quick and then it was gone. Roo jumped up and I grabbed her and told her to sit down. I sat there until my heart quit racing. At this point I realized it was probably gone because Roo was more relaxed and not watching the trees. So I decided to keep reading. A while later Roo got up and sat to my left almost behind me watching the trees again. Then I began to hear some primate sounds much like holler monkeys and also some that sounded like chimps when they are loud. At this point I was nervous. Trying to decide what to do. It was just Roo and me. If we had not had the run-by then I would not be so worried. I walked back up to the forest road and walked until I had enough bars to text Jon. I asked him to come camping. I wasn't going to leave but wanted Jon there with me. If he did not come then I had decided that Roo and I would sleep in the car. Jon did text me back and said he would be there in a few hours. So I had the rest of the afternoon to myself. So I did some exploring around the ravine on the north part of the campsite. I did notice how one of the tree breaks was pointing to a giant X. I had not noticed that before. I also looked more carefully at another structure and realized that from the angle of the break, it could not have been broken by another tree. Plus I also noticed that many of the structures here at this location had a tree break either as part of the structure or was very close to it. I will keep an eye open to see if this can be found at other locations. </div>

What a weekend! It seems like when I relax and start to read, I have activity. Another detail is that Jon is not there. Either he is off exploring or haven't arrived yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hmmm...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had invited some friends to come for the long July 4th weekend. I had gone up early with Jon and one friend. I got there first. The first thing I noticed was Roo's collapsible water dish was in the middle of the pathway to the campsite. That was strange. It should have been in our camping equipment. If not there it would have been by the pine tree where we kept her bowls while camping. I must have forgotten to pack it away when we left about 10 days before. Side note-I always pack her stuff in her own duffle bag. It should have not been there on the pathway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After taking pictures and checking all around the campsite, I decided to keep the bowl there so Jon could see it when he arrived. </div>

<div>
They slept in my tent with Roo and I. My daughters had set up a tent to the right of the my tent and we have never set one there before. It was not too far from where the year before I had the quarter-sized rock thrown at me that my daughter saw come out of the trees towards me and hit my chair I was sitting in. You can read that in one of my earlier post from 2016 year. Jon's tent was set apart and back from us. There were trees all around us and a massive one between my tent and my daughters' tent. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Later that night, I had decided to go into the tent to go to sleep. Roo is my shadow and was coming with me. Jon, my daughters, and Harriett were already in their tents. Roo was acting weird that whole evening, anxiously looking at certain points around us. I knew we had some visitors that probably came in for a peek. We haven't had this many with us before and there were a lot of women. As I approached the tent, Roo was not too keen to come with me and then made a weird whimper. I happened to see something large upright move from the back of my tent over to the back of my daughters' tent. What was interesting was that one of the my Nebraska friends was close by and saw it move too. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When Jon and my daughters left the next day it was just the 4 women there with Roo. We did some exploring and I showed them some cool things that I knew they wanted to see. At night we had some eye shine and small rocks thrown at me. I had set up my screen tent for us to sit in because the black flies were bad. I warned them that they like to throw stuff at me. So off and on all evening every night a small rock or small pine cone would hit the screen right by my head. LOL We all laughed about it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then the last night...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We stayed up late except for Harriett. She can't stay awake past 9:00 pm. We had some eye shine behind us then a few minutes later Connie saw an arm with long hair put something that was also dark in a branch much higher than us. Her impression it was a baby. Then we talked and laughed. Around 1:30 am we could hear some whistling coming from the bottom of the ravine in the direction where I had heard rhythmic knocking 2 summers ago. We heard it come up and we were wondering what bird besides an owl would be out and whistling at 1:30 in the morning?!? We could tell it stop but was still whistling. Then we realized it was not a bird and it whistling my tune! This tune is my special tune I do when I go there. I use this tune to announce myself everywhere I go squatching. I just never heard it coming from something else! I decided to take a picture of Roo while the whistling was going on. She just sat there and watched much like she did when we had the rhythmic knocking. I then decided to try to record part of the whistling but it stopped as soon as I turned my camera to record and faced it to where it was coming from. This lasted for about 4-5 minutes. </div>

I do want to say that when I had first got to the campsite that weekend, Roo did something she had never done before. EVER! She charged something that was in the trees/brushes. I could not see what it was. I quickly called her back. I am not sure what it was. I did not see or hear anything run off like a bear or mountain lion or deer. I told her not to do that again just in case it was a Bigfoot. I had done my whistles and calls several minutes before and had looked around for prints because I was wondering about how Roo's bowl ended up on the pathway. This is one of many things that makes this place interesting.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love Roo's Place. LOL I never am sure what and could happen when I camp there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The last 2017 camping trip I will be talking about happened in September. We had invited some friends from Utah. They had camped with us a couple of years before and wanted to come and camp with us again. They brought their young adult son with them. It was a fun time. Again we had eye shine watching us and Roo letting us know when they came too close. We took them over on the other side of the ravine where there are some structures and also where we heard the rhythmic knocking 2 summers ago. Rob had found a 13 inch print and then I spotted what at first I thought was a really weird foot print. Then I realized it was a knuckle print! In my picture I put my hand above it without touching the ground to show how similar it was to my knuckle. In reality it was much bigger than my hand.</div>

When I had planned this weekend with Maida, I told her to bring a book to read. That I was going to send the guys off while we read and see what happens. Well...we did this and...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was facing the ravine where I found that 13 inch print. So we sat and read. After a while Roo got restless and started to look around. I nudged Maida and told her to keep reading but watch from the side of her eyes for movement. I got Roo to laid back down but she was watching the tree line again. In fact she was watching to the right of Maida. I glanced up and saw a black upright figure watching us. It was right next to a tree. I told Maida what I saw and she was so upset that she could not see it unless she turned her head. It quickly left and then we talked for a while. We waited a while before going over there. From what we can figure it was about 40 yards away and about 7 feet tall. The photo is where I saw the figure. No, there is not one in the picture. It was taken after it had left.</div>

Remember the marble thing we had going on at Roo's Place? </div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
We did not receive any in the 2017 year but...</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had something interesting. My daughter Jennifer had started to go camping with us. She says she is not really interested but she had seen the rock fly out of the tree line and hit my chair. She had heard some howls one night that Jon and I did not hear. She said it was not a wolf or coyote. It was deep and very long. It kept going on and on. She said Roo got up and was listening to it too. She had seen the structures which without me saying anything said they look purposely made. She had made a glyph the summer of 2016 where we had found an asterisk. During the summer of 2016, I had some exchanges of glyphs. Which you can read in my earlier posts. Nothing happened after Jennifer had made the glyph in 2016 but I always checked it when I went to Roo's Place. You never know. She had made a triangle and over time you can tell it had been moved a little from weather and deer but it was still there. So the weekend we had our friends from Utah visit, something was added next to Jennifer's glyph. You will see in the picture the new glyph. It is something I have never seen before...</div>

What do you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I never know what to expect at Roo's Place. There are several points that I have learned from Roo's Place:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Don't expect anything. Go to enjoy camping and being out in the forest.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
For some reason they are tolerant of Roo. They scare her and make her uneasy but they haven't tried to hurt her. I think they let her know who is in charge. We do not allow her to bark or chase wildlife. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
They seemed to be curious of people we bring. Especially women.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
They are curious-several times at night once we are in our tent when some of us are asleep, we have had our containers opened, they have touched utensils that are hanging up (we could hear them doing this), after a storm trying to peek in the tent (that is in one of my earlier post), them looking in our cars (hand prints on windows) and a lit up balloon licked.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
They will approach the campsite when we are there. Especially when I am alone and occupied such as reading.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Don't try to go after them or react.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Our mindset is go there to camp and if they want to visit they are welcome to come without fear of us trying to trick them or get something from them. I am a visitor in their home and will respect their right to be there.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
I truly feel that the key with our forest friends is not the technology or tricking them or trying to hurt them but to establish a mutual respect where they may be curious about the weird hairless people without fear. I want nothing from them. I just want to learn more about them. This takes time and patience. Not many are willing to do this but I feel this is the key. </div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have another post I will be doing and you won't believe it has to do with marbles! I will share that next time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
SQUATCH ON ! My friends!!!! </div>

<div>
A couple of 17 year old young men went to go do some fishing and camping one night last year. What happened this night has changed their whole world of what is in the woods. In fact they haven't been back except for Jake who went a few months ago to tell and show where it happened. No one believed them until Harriett, my friend, who went to meet and hear his story.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The young men decided to go to a local privately owned park to fish and camp in August of last year. You have to have a key to get into this park. There are ponds and camp sites scattered throughout the park. This park is directly next to the Platte River. This is in the middle of the state. Right in the middle of the farming community. As they approached the pond to fish they saw some eye shine that was green watching them from across the pond.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV3xQ85xF2igTiUwIazPiM0ViHr6pg3rIeKU5c2g1tMrKVNPJ3eNQ3R-H-kCTpnIr3HPDBSBhWJu8LMCwxb4_8DesM3w8bnIV0h2Z_U4WXjhu5U2CgEL88lUexCHvocW9GPRNY6AvQM_f1/s1600/P5130010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV3xQ85xF2igTiUwIazPiM0ViHr6pg3rIeKU5c2g1tMrKVNPJ3eNQ3R-H-kCTpnIr3HPDBSBhWJu8LMCwxb4_8DesM3w8bnIV0h2Z_U4WXjhu5U2CgEL88lUexCHvocW9GPRNY6AvQM_f1/s320/P5130010.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
They could tell it was upright and very BIG. The upright figure was huge and very dark. It had glowing green eyes. This big upright figure picked up a wooden spool that is found throughout this park and threw it into the pond. The spool was 5 feet across and 3 1/2 feet tall. It weighed about 200-300 pounds!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoIjxn3pmm-XBplaARrGe0FjSStMa7OdwsQ7mOU9VDT8hkszUVa08eSzwgdQ3tkeUN1GchCGCs6k8_Es-2SrPEfP1ycxyvtbDgWKqa9UWWs4wp_q9NFE11SyEDYeULuY7noZIcoOzOTkGk/s1600/P5130024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoIjxn3pmm-XBplaARrGe0FjSStMa7OdwsQ7mOU9VDT8hkszUVa08eSzwgdQ3tkeUN1GchCGCs6k8_Es-2SrPEfP1ycxyvtbDgWKqa9UWWs4wp_q9NFE11SyEDYeULuY7noZIcoOzOTkGk/s320/P5130024.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
It scared the young men so much that they left the park. This was not their first time there and had been there before. They did not even stay to camp.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So what do young men do when they get scared by something? Go back and check out what scared them</b></span>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So Jake went back to see what had happened the night before was really real. He went to the other side of the pond where the Bigfoot was seen. He started to walk up to the edge of where he knew it was seen the night before and sees one standing by the trees in front of the embankment leading to the edge of the pond! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I have Harriett standing where he saw it the next day)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Jake has not been back until he went there with Harriett a few months ago. He had told family and friends but no one believed him. I have walked this location and I believe him. This was a tough way to go from 0 to total believer for Jake and his friend.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think someone forgot to tell Bigfoot that there are no Bigfoot in Nebraska except in a couple of areas. What I am finding is that there are many more than most think. I will be talking about the farm in Nebraska that has Bigfoot activity. In fact I will be making 2 posts on this amazing farm.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Remember: <b><span style="font-size: large;">N</span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">ever to say never</span></b> in regards to our hairy friends. They seemed to have no problems living in Nebraska. They have adapted very well. The food is good, the water clean and room to wander. A perfect place for them. </div>

Last fall I had planned and then had taken the children in my school program on our annual "Looking for Bigfoot" field trip to a new location. This field trip was a bit different because I had found a park close to where there was a report of the 1954 Plum Creek Monster. In fact there are a couple of BFRO reports within 7-10 miles of this location. I had stumbled upon a video about the Plum Creek Monster while at the local library looking at urban legends and anything unusual in my county. I loved the video. Then I looked up the original article and others talking about the monster. I thought this was a good way to talk about some of the history of our county and about Bigfoot. Before the field trip day, I went in and explored the location a couple of times and then went down stream about 4 miles and found some old tracks coming out of Plum Creek! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On our "Looking for Bigfoot" field trip day, I had brought in a casting from Missouri. Also I had made a 8 ft tall Bigfoot silhouette and some outlines of a 19 inch and 17 inch prints to show the children the scale of Bigfoot and also a visual of the size of my prints. Then I showed them how hard it was to try to take a picture of anything that moves in the woods. That by the time you turn on the camera, put it to your face and focus, either the subject that was seen is gone or is blurry or in the shadows. I also talked about the Plum Creek Monster. Then we went to the creek location. I was hoping for us to find prints there but we did not see or hear anything. It turned out to be a wonderful cold day exploring the woods and creek while learning to whoop and look at structures. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would like to talk a little about the Plum Creek Monster with you like I did with the children. You see the Denver News and I do not agree on this story. The newspaper called it a hoax and I do not. I think those ranch hands did see something. I will explain more.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back in 1954, on one of the ranches on Plum Creek, some ranch hands had reportedly seen a black hairy creature with green glowing eyes that was about 8 feet tall waving a chicken. It Scared them. When the sheriff and others came to investigate there was 14 inch prints found with toes. Days later there was another report saying others had seen it too. Pretty soon there were many people going to the ranch looking for this creature. We are talking about a couple thousand people tramping through the ranch and surrounding area. This was in a rural county south of Denver. It was a big thing to happen in Douglas County. Then the under-sheriff reported in the newspaper that there was no monster and he knew who did it. He then said he talked with the person and told him not to do this again.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can see where the Denver newspaper a few years ago called this a hoax because: </div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>The under-sheriff said it was a hoax.</li>
<li>The person who wrote the Denver article saying it was a hoax had no knowledge or knew the history of Bigfoot.</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me point out a couple of things that may indicate that this may have actually happened:</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>This was before the Gimlin-Patterson Film (1967) or the hype from the big feet found at a logging location in northern California (1959).</li>
<li>This was before Internet and common knowledge that we now have about Bigfoot. We are reading and hearing about this 1954 creature with our 2017 eyes/knowledge. There was no previous local knowledge of Bigfoot in Douglas County or the Denver area.</li>
<li>14 inch prints found with toes. </li>
<li>It was the under-sheriff who made the announcement that it was a hoax and knew who did it. This was big news at the time and why would the under-sheriff and not the sheriff make this announcement? You would think the sheriff would have made the announcement since this was so sensational and really big news. It doesn't sound right. I am thinking that the sheriff did not want to get caught lying to the public just in case this creature came back.</li>
<li>The creature had green glowing eyes. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Hmmm...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think there was a Sasquatch raiding a rancher's chicken coop one night in 1954. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Last weekend at this time I had just finished up my presentation at the Nebraska Bigfoot Conference in Hastings, Nebraska. Even though it was in the morning I was still a little shell shock at how many people were at the conference. I WAS HOPING TO HAVE AT LEAST 100 PEOPLE FOR BOTH FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY! We ended up with at least 650+ people. We kept having to add chairs to our room.<br />
<br />
What was my impression of the conference? This beautiful state is filled with wonderful people who are interested in Bigfoot. Either from some type of interaction or from just an interest or heard stories shared from family and friends. I had so much fun meeting and getting to know people there. One young man who was about 5 years old stood out. His name is Lane and he had told me he had a Bigfoot birthday party this year. He said he wants to invite me to his next birthday. I hope he does and if I am in Nebraska I plan on going.<br />

<br />
<br />
I did have many people talk to me about some type of Bigfoot activity they had experienced. Two really grabbed my attention. Both of them had pictures to go along with the story. One I have to be patient because we have to get permission from the landowner and it may take a while. The other was Tammy. She showed me a structure. Just looking at it may not seem like it is something but...<br />
then I asked her I think 3 questions. After she answered them I looked even more closely at the picture. I think I surprised her when I asked if I could go see it the next day. Thank goodness I was staying for an extra day or it was going to be a long late drive back to Colorado.<br />
<br />
My picture of the structure:<br />

<div>
What do you think of it? At first glanced it doesn't really seemed like anything but...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have seen something like this at one of my locations only it had broke in the middle. I was interested in the picture because of that but when I had asked her several questions I knew I wanted to go see it. I surprised her with my interest because she had shown this to others but I was the only one that wanted to go see it. After visiting the location and talking with her about some activity, I knew I wanted to investigate more. Let me tell you some things about this structure that may point to it being Bigfoot related.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The tree is about 30-40 years old. The arch is 10'5" tall and 9'6" wide. The top of the tree that is in the ground is deeper than 4". The tree is twisted and one branch grew down and around the arch which made it look like a snow break until you look closely and see it is a branch and not part of the truck of the tree.</div>

<div>
Tammy had a Horticulturist look at her pictures. After looking at the pictures closely she said it was manipulated and not naturally made because of these factors:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>It would be more asymmetrical from wind or snow. So the formation was too vertical on both sides.</li>
<li>Top appeared to be buried straight and deep into the ground with the shoots growing out from the surrounding soil.</li>
<li>The tree is very stressed due to the twisting and binding. It is killing the tree which conflicts with its natural inclination towards surviving.</li>
<li>Shading from other trees is not a factor since there are no trees close enough for it to seek out alternative growth.</li>
<li>The tree base is directly behind the tree and opposite to the direction of the buried top. This is not a natural growth pattern of a willow seeking water.</li>
</ul>
<div>
We know that Native Americans used trees as trail markers but the tree is only 30-40 years old. So that is not a factor on how it was manipulated by man. This is in a pasture of a farm for live stock so it is not part of a shelter belt. So this will factor out the farmer. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
WHO MADE THIS?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I asked Tammy some questions about the previous owners and themselves. There are indications from her answers this may be Bigfoot related. The location of the farm to rivers, creeks and the remoteness is one possibility and some weird things that have happened may point to a group coming to this farm. During my presentation I had talked briefly about marbles. At this farm this is happening too along with pieces of mirrors and feathers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you hear people scoff about Nebraska not being squatchy enough for Bigfoot and are only in a couple areas then they have not looked closely. I have changed my stance on this when I started to look more closely at Nebraska. There are strong indications that my original thinking and of many others are wrong. Very wrong. I have learned over years that what I assume of many things about Bigfoot is wrong and usually the opposite of what I was assuming. You would have thought I would have learned from this but no. I am still learning. LOL I have to remember that they are primates who are highly adaptable. What does Nebraska have that they would adapt to? Water-there are many rivers and creeks that crisscross the state; Food-farms and lots of deer; places to hide-there are places for them to hide, maybe not what we traditionally think of but there are places; Not many people-there are wide open spaces with farmland. Plus people don't traditionally talk about stuff like this with others. Since Bigfoot is considered not real, any stories or reports will not be taken seriously. Which helps Bigfoot.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So if you want to continue not to believe they have a strong presence in Nebraska and I also suspect Kansas then go ahead and continue. Bigfoot has no problem with you having this stance. To the ones who have had Bigfoot experiences or activity in Nebraska, I believe you because what I have been finding does support what you have had happened.</div>

<br />
February 17 & 18, 2017 there was a Bigfoot conference in Nebraska. Harriett McFeely was the person who dream and then made this happen. She had been scoffed at, laughed at and many tried to discouraged her to not have the conference. Well, guess what? We had at least 250 people on Friday night and well over 400 people on Saturday. That was at least 650 people! In Nebraska!<br />
<br />
Where there is a will there is a way. In this case a wonderful woman who had a dream and made it happen. Now we have the community and others approaching us for next year. Yes, we are having another one next year. We are already planning it. Just one thing that is a slight problem-we need to find a venue big enough for us. LOL<br />
<br />
So look at the link to see some pictures. The pictures and video was from a reporter from the newspaper in Omaha. We had several reporters there.<br />
<br />
Guess what?<br />
<br />
There are Bigfoot in Nebraska and there is a lot of interest from the locals too. I am getting ready to write another post for this blog from a woman who may have Bigfoot activity on her farm. You will want to read it. I am still amazed about it.<br />
<br />
So my friends<br />
<br />
SQUATCH ON!</div>

Some friends and I were invited to go to a Native American reservation this weekend in Nebraska. I got off of work a little bit early to drive to there on Friday so I could spend all of my Saturday there. It was a long tiring drive but well worth the trip. It is always a pleasure to see Harriett. Then you add the new friends I made this weekend and it was even more enjoyable. Meeting Jimmy Lee, Joyce, Barry, DW and Richard was wonderful. Whenever I can expand my circle of Bigfoot friends it is always fun and makes my journey of discovery even more endearing.</div>

Let me tell you of our weekend:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Harriett, Jimmy Lee and I went to the Lincoln area to meet up with Joyce and she drove us to Macy to meet up with Barry and DW on the reservation. We had a cabin reserved there for Saturday night. Barry, Richard and DW had made plans with the rest of their group to take us out to explore their active Bigfoot areas. There was even a night walk planned for 1:00 am. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During the day they took us down by the Missouri River where there has been a lot of Bigfoot activity. We found some structures and maybe a half print. </div>

<div>
What was interesting with the arch was the top of the tree was rammed into the ground. In fact all three branches of different lengths were rammed in. I have never seen this before. Very, very interesting. And it was by a couple of other structures.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then we went back to the cabins. Then we went out to eat. We got back later and some of us (me especially) went into our cabin and slept for a couple of hours before the late night walk. I was still very tired from the drive and lack of sleep. For me to chose sleep over talking Bigfoot means I was exhausted. I wanted to be ready at 1:00 am and then still be able to drive home on Sunday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am going to say that my day time investigations are fun and intriguing but the real fun is the night time investigations in an active Bigfoot area. The group there did not disappoint me. Now I want to go out here in Colorado but there is over 6 feet of snow and no way to get in there. LOL The whole thing of going out exploring with no lights on and with limited vision gets your adrenaline going. Especially when things start to happen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We were divided into 2 groups. Young sweet Jimmy Lee and I went with DW and George. They were taking us to a spot that is haunted AND an active Bigfoot location. COOL! I was ready. Jimmy Lee who has never been out before was a bit nervous but ready to go. I think I was not what the men were expecting when they knew that 4 women were coming. I know Harriett told them that I have been out in the field and have been actively investigating here in Colorado and other states but I don't think they were prepared for how much I knew and how to act. My calm presence helped Jimmy Lee and also helped her to move pass her fear. I feel lucky to now call her my friend and plan on taking her out in the future there in Nebraska and here in Colorado. She got a taste and now is hooked. LOL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will tell you that I do have fear out there but I have learned to control it and to stand my ground when I can. Running and freaking out will have you lose out on an opportunity and the experience if you let it rule you. I just stand my ground and swallow my fear. This night though I wasn't fearful. But my adrenaline was in high gear and made me wish it was warmer and no snow in Colorado. I want more. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Usually when I am in a group especially when it is a new location for me, I try to separate myself from the group a little and make my presence know in a low key but friendly way to let the group there know I am aware of them but respectful. Any location I go to I use my special whistle along with my voice and whoops. At this location I don't think whistling has been used before and it definitely attracted their attention. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The guys announced us and introduced Jimmy Lee and I. When I had walked away from the group and did my whistle there was movement and sounds indicating they were coming towards me. After I heard some noises that were not quite whoops but not growls, more like a soft huffs, I called Jimmy Lee to me so she can experience the sounds and movements. She came over and stood there with me and we both watched the shadows moving around and hearing I am thinking 3 with 2 in front of us and one behind us. At one point she grabbed my hand but I was proud of her. She stood her ground with me and experienced all that was going on. Then we walked closer to the guys.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I asked for some eye shine and I saw several come on and off. I was able to show Jimmy Lee where they were and how to move around a little to try to see more. They were moving around and flashing quick eye shine towards us. At one point I wanted to go down into the area where the eye shine was so I asked the group if they were OK for me to walked down there. As soon as I took a step down, a medium sized branch was thrown towards me and landed just to the left of me right by the tree line. I backed off and then walked some more back where I started and then walked over past where the guys were. Then I did my talking, whooping and whistling. When I saw more eye shine I was able to show everyone where they were. Jimmy Lee watched and would follow me when I wanted her with me. Then I went down the road into where the eye shine was. I did not go too far but was hoping to get to the curve and go back behind where the eye shine was seen but I think they figured out where I wanted to go. So I stopped and whistled and talked. Jimmy Lee followed me. The guys were behind us and not as far down as we were. Then there was a dark tall shape that moved towards us with eye shine. At that point I realized I should not moved further down, closer to the curve so I just stood there. Jimmy Lee stood with me. The others moved back up and stood by the car. We watched the eye shine and then saw 2 other sets go off and on. One was showing red the whole time and the other went green and white. At this point I thought it was an impasse and I should be the one to move back up. As we moved back up we had one right up on the road to our left. It was close and was showing very bright green eye shine! We saw it blink and you can tell it was moving its head to watch all of us. It just stood there and did not leave. Jimmy Lee was so excited to see it. As soon as I approached it, it moved and we did not see the eye shine again. We heard a howl off in the distance and then the coyotes started up. The guys wanted to take us to another location so we got back into the car and left. This was a perfect experience to show how eye shine looks and how they use it. For them to use it with 2 strangers there was impressive to me. I think being female and respectful but approachable may have made them curious of the 2 females that knew they were there and knew what their eye shine was. I also think the whistle helped too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We did not have any more experiences but that was OK because the first location was great. The other group did not have anything happen. But you should expect that this will happen. We were lucky that the group was where we were.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will make a disclaimer here and say we did not have our flashlights or head lamps on so there was no reflections. I walk around with no lights on. If you don't believe me you can ask the ones who have gone out with me before. Also we were below the skyline. Plus the eye shine did not stay in one spot but moved around. Several times we were able to see 2-3 sets at the same time. The bright green eye shine by the road we saw blinked. I also saw the dark shape with the eye shine move its eyes around and blink. We were in a deserted location with no one else around. What else could it be?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So when Barry asked me if I want to come back, guess what my answer was?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
YES!!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is another example of how an active Bigfoot location will make someone go from wondering to believer with one experience. Jimmy Lee has no doubt now. Locations like this will do it without someone trying to convince. Its better this way.</div>

<div>
You don't have to convince someone if you are in an active Bigfoot area. You let the evidence and experiences do the talking. Especially if you know the group there uses the creek. This was found on a very cold February morning in 2015. The water level was low enough to have a sand bar. One Bigfoot decided to cross the creek earlier that morning. In fact the water was starting to fill in the print when I found it. If I was there an hour later it would have been washed away. I was very lucky. In the past, I have found several prints very close to this spot including a handprint on the bank.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What is funny was that we were there not to look for Bigfoot but to see if a new fishing spot was an option for my friend. He had asked me if I wanted to go explore there with him while he scoped the place. He knew I am in there all the time and wanted me to go looking with him. He does know why I am in there. He just did not figure that there would be evidence of them right there for him to see. I reminded him later that there was a reason why I am in there all the time. LOL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me tell you what happened:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marc had called me earlier in the week to see if I wanted to go hiking and explore this location during the day in the middle of the week with him. He said he had read an article about this place and how it was a good place to fish. He knew I was in there and knew the place. So I agreed. I very seldom turn down a chance to go into the forest in an active Bigfoot place. Even if it is to look for a fly fishing hole for a friend. He would be looking at deep pools in the creek while I kept an eye out for prints. So it was a win-win for both.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We got there mid-morning. It was cold but sunny. I showed him the creek and where there may be spots that the fish would like. Then he started to show me what he looks for in a creek. About 1 1/2 hours later we came to a spot where I have found prints before. I told him I wanted to check the spot to see if there was any prints. He agreed but you can tell he wanted to continue. To be honest, he has told me in the past he believes me but I felt he thought I was out there looking for shadows. He had no reason not to disbelieve me but didn't think beyond that it was my weird hobby. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is this flat boulder that juts across the creek a little bit. There is a vantage point on this boulder to look up and down the creek. So I got on the boulder and immediately noticed that there was a print in a sand bar in the creek! It looked big. I exclaimed to Marc that there was a print in the sand bar and it had toes. You should have seen his face. He was puzzled and looked at me with disbelief. I pointed it out to him. He stopped and looked at it really hard for several moments. I reminded him that there was a reason why I was in there. He had only heard me talking and had never seen any of my pictures or my casting. I told him I wanted to go measure the print. He thought I was nuts. It was in the low 30's and the water would be icy cold and deep in one spot. I rolled up my pants, took off my boots and socks. It was bone chilling cold. I could not feel my toes halfway there. I get there and it was 14 inches and very wide. I have found several 14 inch prints before at this location. Also at least 3 other larger ones. I looked around to see if there was more prints but I could not find any. Either they were washed away or it hopped from the boulder to the sand bar and then to the other side.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So when I finished measuring and taking pictures I put my boots back on and asked Marc what he thought about the print. He looked at me and said, "I have always believed you but didn't really think about it." I laughed and asked him what he thought about it now. He said that hearing about them from me and now seeing the print makes it so fantastic and makes him wonder. I asked him if he thinks about the woods the same now that he has seen the print and he laughed and said no its not the same now. He is not sure what to think. He does asks me more questions now.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He has not asked to go there again or has fished there. I find it interesting of how people react to learning about the presence of Bigfoot. Some are so scared, some just ignore and don't want anything to do with the location or with the subject of Bigfoot or there are ones like me that want more and keep looking because they can't get enough.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what type of Bigfoot person are you? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marc just wanted to find a new fishing hole to fish but what he found instead was the reality that there are some type of being walking on 2 legs, bare foot with large feet in the woods and forest in Colorado. That is one more person that went from 0 to belief because of one cold February morning. </div>
<br /></div>

<br />
The Colorado mountains are so beautiful but one of the negatives is the short time frame of camping. Especially in the rugged areas where you can't get in because the snow is too deep. On top of that if you do go in the fall you have to contend with the hunters. I know some go camping year round here in Colorado but where I go it is impossible for me to even get to my spots once the snow starts. Believe me I have tried.<br />
<br />
So last weekend was my last weekend of camping at Roo's Place. I am glad I went. This year there has been so much different than the year before. Which is good because that means it is an ongoing adventure with no expectations. We have had some unexpected difficulties and interference that I won't go into but we had to work around them and still had some great things happen.<br />
<br />
Roo and I arrived early afternoon on Saturday. My husband was coming later around 7:00. So I set up our tent and equipment. While doing that I had done some whistles and whoops to announce I was there. Which I look at as ringing the doorbell. I did not hear any responses. I wasn't really expecting any since I haven't been there for a while. So my strained patience with Roo who kept walking all over the tent as I was putting it up may helped to get their attention. LOL I ended up putting her on her tie-out so I wouldn't lose my patience with her. We always have a tie-out and leash with us just in case. After I was done setting up everything I let her off. By this time she was watching the one spot behind her where the marbles are. So we went down there to look to see if there were any changes to the marbles. Just before we turned to walked to the structure, Roo stopped and intently looked into the bottom of the ravine. She then started to wag her tail and act like she was going greet someone. I told her, "No, you are NOT going down there." Then we walked over to where the marbles were. Nothing new but that was OK. They probably have gotten tired of them and wondered why I am so excited about them. I then left one and took the other three with me. I played with them and made as much noise with them while walking back up to the camp site.<br />
<br />
I sat down and started to read. After about 30 minutes, Roo got up from where she laid to my left and slightly behind me. She had been chewing on branches and her chew toy. She was anxious and tried to get on my lap. I told her no, relax and she then sat right up against my left knee and watched the ravine in front of me. She started doing her grumble growl. In fact my thought as this was unfolding was that this reminded me of the time of the rhythmic knocking we heard the first night there. Roo was acting almost exactly like that. I expected to hear some knocking but nothing. She watched that spot for a bit and then got up and did the same thing to my left. In the direction of the marble area. She kept glancing back and forth watching intently. I decided to whistle and whoop but continued to read. Acting like this was normal and I am relaxed. So this continued for a bit and then Roo relaxed and started to chew on her toy. I will be honest and say I was expecting to have something thrown at us but nothing.<br />
<br />
I would say about an hour later Roo got up and watched the area over by the marbles again. I got her to lay back down but she was nervous. I decided to look carefully in the tree line but not get up. I SAW A BLACK UPRIGHT FIGURE BETWEEN 2 TREES. It looked like it was moving back behind the left tree and then to the middle of the 2 trees. Then something caught my attention to the left about 25 yards from the black upright figure. IT WAS ANOTHER BLACK UPRIGHT FIGURE!! It just stood still and did not move. I watched both figures but the first one was moving like it was trying to hide behind the tree and then moving back to between the 2 trees. Like it was nervous. The other one was absolutely still. I glanced at Roo and she just laid there watching with me. She was watching both like me. I told her to stay and its OK they are only watching us. We watched them for a couple of minutes and then I decided to read my book again. A few minutes later Roo put her head down and sighed. I looked over to the 2 spots and there was nothing. The 2 upright figures have left. At this point it was starting to get dark. I decided to continue to read but just before it got dark I decided to wait in my car for my husband. I knew it was another 1-2 hours before he got there. We had a fire ban and I could not have a campfire. Plus I had seen the 2 watching us just a little while before AND I remembered someone/something had thrown rocks at me twice this year. So I felt it was in my best interest to wait in the car. Roo was very happy to do this. You should have heard her sigh when she jumped into the car and laid down. At one point about 30 minutes of being in the car I thought I heard something behind my car. The back of the car was facing the campsite. I looked in my side and rear view mirrors but saw nothing since it was dark. All I am going to say is that my gut said to wait in the car and then when I heard whatever it was behind my car re-enforced what my gut said to do. Normally I can be quite fearless but I have learned to listen to my gut while doing this. When my husband got there about a one hour later, I told him what happened and you know what he said? My husband who knows they are real but is a skeptic of things until we rule out everything else? He said he thinks it is not the regular group but may be a visiting one. He did not disbelieve me or second guess what I had seen or felt. I guess all these years camping and exploring and yes, experiencing things too have made him believe me.<br />
<br />
We walked back to the campsite and he did his sound/whistle that he does with his hand that is loud with a hollow sound. Sometimes he can make it sound sort of like an owl. Not quite but similar. We talked outside while set up his cot and sleeping bag. We then sat down and played a card game in front of the tent with our headlamps on. This is the first time we had done this. Plus having no campfire. While playing Jon kept asking if I had heard either a whistle or a weird hollow type of knock. He said he has never heard it before. I asked him if it was an owl and he said no, it had a hollow sound to it. I said no. At one point I suddenly heard over by the ravine where Jon said he was hearing the sounds a very loud and distinct sound. Much like what Jon does with his hands! I asked him if he heard it and he said yes. He said that is what he has been hearing. I told him that sounded like his call he makes with his hands. He looked at me and said yes, it does. I think he was getting an answer back and it kept doing it until we reacted to it. We did not hear it again.<br />
<br />
After walking around on our night walk we went to bed in the tent. After about 30 minutes once Jon was asleep I heard something walking around the tent. Roo did too and I made her laid back down and relax. Then I heard nothing and slept through the night. If anything else happen I did not hear it. <br />
<br />
So that was our last camping trip to Roo's Place in 2016. I will try to go in May 2017. I know I said I will wait until June but I have a friend from Europe coming to visit at the end of May 2017. She wants to go to Roo's Place. So my plan-weather permitting, to go there once or twice before taking her. I did tell her it will be cold and may snow on us but she still wants to go. So if the snow has melted enough and weather permitting I will be going in May.<br />
<br />
What am I going to talk about in my blog until then? I am thinking some of my stories from other locations and maybe something about my urban Bigfoot investigations. Yes, I do look in the outlying urban areas. Some of my best reports and found evidence such as prints have been found in what you would call urban areas.<br />
<br />
So my friends hopefully my stories and experiences will keep you coming back even though Roo's Place is closed for now. I do have some great experiences from other places besides Roo's Place.<br />

SQUATCH ON MY FRIENDS, SQUATCH ON!</div>

Since 2013 I have taken elementary-aged children in October to go look for Bigfoot. It took me 6 months of searching to find the ideal location for the first field trip. Here in the Denver area we are very lucky to have several national forests, parks and open spaces within an hour but I had to find one such location that shows signs of Bigfoot and also fits the needs of the children. Like bathrooms, covered eating area, terrain not too steep to navigate, bus parking and only about an hour from the school. That was a tall order but I was able to locate a wonderful park in Jefferson County. Let me tell you of our adventure. I could not have asked for a better experience for the children and staff.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We arrive at the Jefferson County Open Space around 10:00 am. There were only a couple of cars in the parking lot. All were fishing at the pond. Which we walked by but wasn't where we were going to look and focus our attention on. I had the bus driver park to the side so the bus was facing the river. I told the driver, staff and children to open the windows and listen to me whoop and knock down by the river. Which was in a secluded spot that I had found the month before when I had explored the park. So I walked down to the river and faced the ravine and heavily forested area. I did two very loud whoops and knocks. Then I walked back up to the bus. I was hoping I was loud enough for them to hear. When I got to the bus, the staff, children and bus driver were all big eyed and watching me. As I jumped into the bus I asked them if they heard my whoops. They all nodded and said yes. The bus driver said they heard THREE WHOOPS. I said that I did two. Then the bus driver asked if she could come with us. LOL I told her yes. It was a good beginning.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We divided the children into 2 groups when we got off the bus. One group was going with me and the other to do a scavenger hunt because they were not wanting to go looking. Which was fine with me because I want all the children to enjoy the clean air and the outdoors without being scared or worried about Bigfoot. We had a few who were uneasy about it so we let them decide which group. So 9 did the scavenger hunt. Most came with me. I then talked about what to look for and that everything they see and hear is not Bigfoot unless you can rule out everything else. I then taught them how to whoop. I also told them that they are allowed to talk, whooped, laugh and have fun while out hiking and looking for Bigfoot. I wanted as much loud happy children sounds all around hoping that the Bigfoot group there would come close enough to watch the children. We were a loud, noisy group of 19 children, 2 staff, bus driver and myself. All I could hear was laughter and whoops as we hiked around. My heart was filled with joy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I took them up a ravine with a year round stream. It had a good trail that takes you up to Pike National Forest. I wanted to show them a tree break and arch that I had found the month before. As we were walking I spotted a teepee structure that was not there the month before. It was by another ravine that came down to the one we were in. I went up and looked at it and took some pictures. There were 2 tree breaks ringing the teepee structure. I wouldn't allow the children to climb up to it because it was very steep and had poison ivy all around it. So they took pictures of it and then we went and looked at the tree break and arch. We then started walking back down the ravine to go to another section of the park that I wanted to explore with the children. I stopped at the other ravine by the teepee structures and noticed that there was a very nice pine tree. So I asked the children if they wanted to do a wood knock with my wood knocker and they said yes. So I had all 19 do a wood knock. Then we all faced the ravine and did one whoop together. We waited exactly one minute...</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">AND WE GOT A CALL BACK FROM ABOVE US!!! </span>Then one nine year old girl started to cry and hugged me. She then said, "I knew they were real but not that real!" All of us had heard the call. You should have seen everyone. All big eyed and excited. Then we started back down so we can go to the other spot I wanted to see. When we almost got to the bottom one of the older boys came up to me and asked if Bigfoot whistle. I looked at him and said yes they do. This young man has never shown any real interest or knowledge of Bigfoot before. I asked him where he heard it and he pointed to the left and above us where there was some trees and brush. So I told him to whistle back and then I did my special whistle I do when out in the field. He said he did not hear it again when we left the ravine area. Very interesting. I have never talked about Bigfoot whistling.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I reminded the children that we are in a park and that other people use it too so any prints they find will most likely be human. We get about halfway to the spot when one of the older boys raced up to me and said he found a print. I again reminded him that it probably would be human but I will go look. He said it was big and in a clothesline pattern. That caught my attention. He then pointed out the prints. Yes, they were bigger than I expected and in a clothesline pattern! We found about 5 prints. I showed them how to measure and what a clothesline pattern looked like. I then pointed out the differences in human versus Bigfoot. The 2 main differences was how the toes are more straight across and a wide heel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtSKcJetGHGiRJ7kS6jmKomyrjRsEVwMxf22R4Gaccqu3-zHYClwhmjlIkGOl1XDYR9K3LHFovMmzIrOW23nRapxutrnyCne0RLNaAK_j1ICPmZeaAD-sTzK0-uNYrVoh6v6HrcM2o2kv-/s1600/1-Looking+for+BigFoot+Oct+17+2013+024+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtSKcJetGHGiRJ7kS6jmKomyrjRsEVwMxf22R4Gaccqu3-zHYClwhmjlIkGOl1XDYR9K3LHFovMmzIrOW23nRapxutrnyCne0RLNaAK_j1ICPmZeaAD-sTzK0-uNYrVoh6v6HrcM2o2kv-/s320/1-Looking+for+BigFoot+Oct+17+2013+024+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
The prints were older but about 15 inches. One had clear impression of toes. We were so excited. I had walked right by them without seeing them! But one of my eagle-eyed boys spotted them. They were to the right of the main trail. Then I noticed the time and we had to go! We ran out of time. So we quickly hiked back to the bus. The children excitedly told the others about our hike. The next year we had 42 come and all went with me. LOL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another reason I had chosen this location was the knowledge of two sightings within 5-7 miles of this park. 2015 was our last year to go to this location. We had a lot of fun there but I needed to find another location that was closer and maybe not as many people. Since 2013 this park has been discovered by other people so it wasn't as secluded as I want for us to go exploring. So I found another location in my county and much closer to the school. It has several sightings within 7 miles and a news report about the 1954 Plum Creek Monster. So cross your fingers and wish us luck that we find some prints next week. If not that's OK. It gets us out in mother nature and do some exploring. So its still a win-win for us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A secret weapon is having happy noisy children with you while exploring for Bigfoot. For me that is priceless and heaven on earth. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
SO MY FRIENDS SQUATCH ON!</div>

<div>
After Labor Day weekend I wasn't able to get out there until the middle of September. I wasn't sure what to expect. I had left a gift of food but no marbles. I forgot to pick up some before going. LOL So this trip I had brought some larger sized marbles to share with the group there. Not too much happened there other than two sets of eye shine watching us while we sat around the campfire. Roo was the one who was freaking out. My husband and I now act like its normal for them to approach us and try not to react. I was excited about them watching us because the eye shine seems to be something they do there more at the end of summer and in October. The premise for this is what we have had experienced last year and then this year. So far it seems to be a pattern. We will see if that will continue next year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I left some colorful marbles that were bigger than the others I have used in the past. I would like for you to look carefully at how I put the marbles on the log and in what order. I will share more later when I share the pictures from this past weekend.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
So I went up to Roo's Place for only one night this past weekend. It was cold and we took our tent heater with us. Thank goodness because it was very cold. I had 4 layers of clothing on and it was still cold sitting around the campfire.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Remember I had said we try to not react to stuff while sitting around the campfire at night? It was really hard for me this weekend because of what I saw. What I saw is in the top 3 of the best eye shine I have ever seen. AND I have seen some great eye shine in other locations. Some were written about in my earlier posts in this blog. As we sat around the campfire, Roo was watching several spots. She had at one moment before the eye shine did a little bark and tried to climb onto my husband's lap. I don't know why I looked into the trees while sitting around the campfire. It was in the general area of where I saw the dark one earlier this summer. I saw a light that was not bright. In fact I saw it move up and then it got brighter. It kept changing colors from white to red to white to a greenish color and then red. I saw one and then two. It looked like it was moving its head and moving around the tree truck. I called my husband over to see it. As he was trying to see it, I saw it moved straight down and then disappear. He never saw it. I am positive it climbed into a tree to watch us and then moved around when it saw me watch it and then left when my husband got up to look from behind me. I have no doubt of what I saw. I have seen this type of eye shine in two other locations. There was no way it was someone else or it was stars. Why? It was cloudy and there was no one there. Just my husband and I. Below I have taken a picture of where I saw the eye shine. It was seen in the middle of the photo and half way up. No, do not think there is a Bigfoot in the photo because I walked over right after I took some photos looking for prints. I saw some impressions that could be feet and maybe a couple of knuckle prints but not sure. So I will leave it at that.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I want you to see what I found when I checked where I had left the marbles in the middle of September. At first I was disappointed until I looked closer. The marbles were changed around!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAaeW0W1Gc59ZQ-q_CpTM5bXel6S87E9yAQ9CHFua5fXTXm_yrkTGoq43SPr2kpCF6emVtJBkJ4312jOT_7nma-qHm_2oFzBGs3wlc17JjRHUHCc0NX_QwBUDqNMrEZ5XshxNnUobXDLrP/s1600/PA010762-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAaeW0W1Gc59ZQ-q_CpTM5bXel6S87E9yAQ9CHFua5fXTXm_yrkTGoq43SPr2kpCF6emVtJBkJ4312jOT_7nma-qHm_2oFzBGs3wlc17JjRHUHCc0NX_QwBUDqNMrEZ5XshxNnUobXDLrP/s320/PA010762-001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
So I changed them and added a twig to see what will happen when I go again. Check below on how I moved them. I can't wait to see what I will find next. Probably what I am not expecting since they seemed to do that.</div>

Between the amazing eye shine and the marbles it was a cool camping trip!!! What was I expecting? I have learn not to expect anything. When it does, boy does it happen!!</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
I am hoping to get one maybe two more camping trips there. It all depends on mother nature. I am keeping my fingers crossed.</div>

My journey of discovery has been quite the journey. I would have never guessed how it had actually unfolded and still continues to unfold. The ups, downs, profound, highs, lows, unexplained, mistakes, friends and yes, people using me for their benefit but mostly the journey has been exhilarating and a bit scary at times. Would I trade any of the experiences? No, because it is my own and distinct journey. I have some great friends locally and also from all over due to my journey. I have been blessed having my husband on this journey with me too. Not all the time but many times he has been with me.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I have not been at Roo's Place as much as I have wanted this summer. My work, family, health and commitments have limited me there. In fact the whole month of August I had not camped there and it had left a huge hole in my life. I was determined to changed that so I invited my family and my friend Harriett to Roo's Place this past Labor Day Weekend. I was blessed to have good friends and family to share in the experiences there this past weekend. I wasn't sure if anything would happen because I haven't been there in a month. Other than the winter time, I am there every weekend or almost every weekend. I think my car can drive up there on auto-pilot. LOL</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Harriett followed me to Roo's Place on Friday and we arrived after dark. My husband and one daughter got there almost the same time. My other daughter with her husband was coming up much later. We sat around the camp fire. Off and on Roo would get anxious and even tried to climb unto my husband's lap or my daughter's. Harriett went to bed and then my husband went up to the main forest road to wait for our daughter and son-n-law because they had no clue where we were and it was a hard place to find. So my other daughter and I sat around the camp fire talking and reading. I saw some eye shine directly across from where I was sitting. Both of us heard some knocks and movements around us. Roo keep doing her grumble/growl and was nervous. Eventually she calmed down and laid by us. My husband came back and told us he had seen some eye shine and it sounded like it was around the same time I did. He then got in his car to find our daughter and husband who was lost and needed help finding us. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Real late my husband with daughter and son-n-law in tow finally arrived. We talked for a bit and then we all went to our tents to sleep. Harriett was in her camper van and the rest of us was in 3 tents. That whole night Roo woke me up with her growling, short barks, grumble/growls and moving around the tent. The next morning Harriett told me she saw some red eye shine, heard Roo do a short bark and then shake her whole body. I knew she did the shaking a couple of times since she woke me up when she did. According to Harriett the eye shine was in the same spot her late husband Dick had seen last Labor Day. Only with Harriett it was red eye shine. I am thinking the 3 tents, late arrival, long absence and new people must have made the group there not sure of us.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My husband and the kids went kayaking on Saturday while Harriett and I explored close by and pretty much stayed around the camp site. We went down to the structure to see if the food gifts were still there. As we are walking down I was showing her where we usually find the marbles and where my husband had found the orange one the last time there. As I was pointing it out I saw a blue marble! I had left one on the log in front of the structure but that was a couple of months ago and it should have still been there. There was no way it could have naturally made its way there. We were up hill and many feet away.</div>

I took the marble and left them a feather and pretty cone that was different than the ones around that spot. I pushed the feather's end into the ground so it wouldn't blow away.</div>

Saturday night Roo wasn't as anxious and I was able to sleep. Before going to sleep we were hearing knocks off and on all around us. Then when we woke up on Sunday, my daughter told me she heard a couple of howls to the east of our camp site! She had never heard or have any interest in Bigfoot before so she had no inkling of what howls were. I would like to point out she does know the sounds of coyotes and other animals and she said it was not that or even hooting of an owl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sunday night we had a late dinner and this night as soon as it got dark Roo was anxious and watching all around us. I did hear some knocks. We had cooked some ribs on the camp fire and then sat down under our sunshade to eat. Away from the camp fire. Harriett and I continued to sit around the table talking while my daughter and husband went and sat by the camp fire. While we were talking I heard and felt at the same time a sharp ping like a small rock hit my chair. It seemed like it came from the trees to my right and forward a little. I said, "did you hear that?" To Harriett and she said yes she did and it sounded like a small rock. My daughter then said she saw it come out of the trees in a line drive and then heard it hit my chair. She said it was the size of a quarter. She then said she heard several knocks just before it happened. I checked the ground but found only pine cones and a small hard wood chip but no rock. It was dark and we would have to check the next morning. It could have been a hard small pine cone but my gut and the way it sounded when it hit and how it felt made me think a small rock!</div>

The next morning my daughter found a small quarter-sized rock by where I had sat.</div>

Harriett and I went down to the gifting structure to see if any of the gifts of food was eaten. None was but I figured they wouldn't. They seemed to eat when we leave.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We walked by where the blue marble was found and where I had left the feather but it was gone! Plus we found an impression right by it. They had moved the pretty cone and left another impression with toes by that!</div>

The hard part was leaving to come home. I am not sure what will happen next but if it does then it does. I have decided not to expect anything there. The marbles and prints are cool but having had 2 rocks thrown at me this year there is a bit unnerving. Exhilarating but unnerving. Not sure what to think. So I hope you enjoyed my weekend like I did. I am trying to make plans to go this weekend. If not then the next. I am going to try to find some unusual marbles and see what happens.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So until next time I wish you and yours a wonderful day and a bight tomorrow.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I am not sure if you are aware that I have several spots I go to investigate. In my books you can't have too many. LOL I need to keep my eyes shut while driving or going with fellow investigators. This one location happens to be one of my favorite spots. It is called Central Colorado. This is not one of my own locations but a friend's who has been going there for over 6 years. He is gracious to share this place with me. Which I am grateful. It is where I camped for the first time while investigating. This location is where I saw a brown 7 foot female Bigfoot a couple of years ago. Oh! The stories from this place!!! I will try to share some more when I am unable to go to Roo's Place. This place never lets me down. A so-so camping trip there probably would be one many would die for. I went there in-between 2 of my Roo's Place camping trips in June. This place where I will not bring Roo. Dogs have been killed there. So I will not risk Roo or make the group there upset with me for taking her. So I left her home with family.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We arrived there on Friday. Set up camp and made our presence known to the group. I told the guys I will sleep in the hot seat. Usually if things are going to happen then that is the spot. I will mention that I did put my cot about 1 1/2 feet from the wall of the tent. What makes this tent interesting is that it is one of those outfitter's tent that does not have a floor and we do not tie down the bottom edges of the tent. We do that on purpose. This trip was the perfect example of why we do this. I will go on record and state that I did sleep in the same spot on Saturday night, (I did place my camp chair between me and the wall of the tent though). LOL Also I would like to point out that in the past I was known for sleeping in the middle of tents for a reason. Since being touched on the shoulder 2 years ago and this weekend kind of makes this mute and pointless for me. If it happens, it happens. My heart may need to pulled back into my chest again but I have moved on about worrying about being touched at night while sleeping. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had a hard time sleeping Friday night. Stuff was being tossed at the sides of the tent. Which is common to happen here at Central Colorado. Not on the top of the tent but the sides by our heads. I had finally fallen asleep with my back to the side of the tent. Evidently I was talking in my sleep. One of the guys said I had been talking a little bit before anything started to happen to me. I don't remember that part except there was 3 Bigfoots in my dream. Later when I was in that state where you are awake but you feel like its in a dream is when it happened. I was laying there and I felt something touch the top of my head. I had just the top of my head sticking out of my sleeping bag. Then I felt 2 fingers move on my head and then pulled my hair! I did a startled yelp and sat up. I touched my head and found the strand of hair that was pulled out of my braid. I told the guys that something touched my head and pulled my hair. Then I showed them. I did ask if I screamed but they said no. It was a yelp and maybe a little high pitched. LOL Once I calmed down I laid back down. We were all going back to sleep when something touched my back which was facing the tent! I jumped up and told my husband to change places. He did not want to. So I just laid in my cot until it was light out and then fell back to sleep.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whoever or whatever did this had to have long arms to reach me. I was 1 1/2 feet away from the side of the tent the first time and then over 2 feet away the second time. None of the guys were touched. Only me. I will admit that while this was happening I would not have minded if it was them and not me. LOL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So my journey continues with many exciting and unexpected things. Some maybe not what I would have preferred though. Hopefully I will be camping at Roo's Place next weekend. If not then I will share another story. Maybe the first time camping at Central Colorado. Hmmm...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
SQUATCH ON my friends...</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">As I sit here thinking of my 4th of July weekend at Roo's Place, all I can think of is how my journey has blessed me with some good friends. One such friend is Harriett McFeely. She and her husband Dick had visited us at Roo's Place last Labor Day weekend. My, how things have changed in such a short time. Her husband Dick who saw eye shine for the first time there has recently passed away. It was good to see her and share my time with her. Let me tell you how we met. LOL It is always amazing how friends first meet:</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I had gone to a Bigfoot Conference in 2014 in Honobia, Oklahoma. Two of my fellow Sasquatch Investigators were speaking there and I had wanted to go and be there for it. While there this older lady had approached me and introduced herself. I then had talked to her for a few minutes. I thought what a nice lady. She then came up to me another time and wanted to ask me a question. I told her "sure". Harriett then asked if she could hire me to take her out Bigfooting. I was very surprised. I was not expecting that. I told her "no" but I would love to take her out some time in Colorado. I explained to her that this was a labor of love I was doing and I won't take her money. So I invited her to a woman's campout in later on in the year I was hosting in Colorado for a few friends. She was so excited and drove all by herself to Colorado to the campout. That was how our friendship had started. I now have a wonderful friend who is brave, curious and intelligent.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I had talked to Harriett and invited her out to Roo's Place for the 4th of July weekend. She came and stayed with us for the weekend there. It was a great time.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I have stated in my earlier posts how we don't have things going on every time we go. This weekend was one of those. I did have something walk up to the tent right by my head and stand there. Also we had small pebbles and cones thrown at the tent all night long on Friday night. Other than that not much else.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We had rain the whole weekend. Only on Monday, July 4th did we have clear skies. So it was a very wet and cool weekend. I think everyone including our forest friends stayed out of the rain. It was a weekend of friendship and enjoying nature while trying to keep dry.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I was able to take Harriett out on Saturday morning before it started to rain again to show her how to tell the difference between naturally made tree structures and purposely made tree structures. That to me is very important because if you don't know the difference then everything is Bigfoot related. Which in fact it is the opposite. It is a naturally made tree structure until you cannot figure out how it was done AND maybe it can be Bigfoot related. That is a big difference.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">So my friends I am sorry there is not much in regards to our forest friends in this post but I will have times where there is not much. I would like to dedicate 2016 year to Dick McFeely here at Roo's Place. Before he had passed away he was so excited about seeing eye shine here at Roo's Place. He had shared this "Aha" moment with all until he died. </span></div>

<div>
Back in the beginning of 2011, I had no idea that I would take a journey of discovery about Bigfoot. It has opened my eyes to our world we call earth. Which is still filled with many mysteries and wonders just waiting for us to discover. My one regret was not doing this sooner but maybe I wasn't ready until now. Even now I still marvel at how my journey continues to change and expand. A year ago I would not have thought I would be writing about this spot called Roo's Place. I truly believe certain things happen for a reason.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One major aspect I have learn in this endeavor was to not expect anything. Just go out there and enjoy yourself. The second thing is to be patient and low key. This species as a whole I would consider shy and elusive. I truly believe they have adapted to stay away from us. Is it a total success? No. The reports and stories we have that has been shared for hundreds of years tell us they are not quite perfect in this endeavor. Why couldn't they be? I think because they are primates. Primates are curious, inventive, and very adaptive. So why should we be surprised they have been able to hide in plain sight here in North America? In Colorado?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wanted to go back to Roo's Place ASAP after the last weekend we had there. I had to wait until this weekend to go back. I went to another location last week with some close friends so this weekend was first time back. I was able to get off of work early and go up on Friday. The weather this whole weekend was unpredictable and we had a lot of storms roll through. When I got there I had to wait for the weather to clear to put the tent up. I brought extra tarps and our sunshade just in case. I am glad I did. Once it cleared up I started to put the tent up. After I had made my whistle call that I usually use, Roo ran back to the car. I then let her relax in the car while I put the tent up. I think she has learned that the whistle means they are coming. So I rather have her feel secure while I am busy setting up the camping equipment then to have her all anxious following me around. I did hear a knock to my left, then one in front of me, then one to my right. Then one from the left again. It seemed to me they were knocking and answering each other. At this point I suspect there were 3 close by. I continued to put the camp together. Once I did I let Roo out and she looked around and kept close to me. It started to storm again so I went and sat in my car to wait it out. Then my husband arrived and we had a campfire. Nothing really happened other than Roo watching certain spots and then do her talk. She wasn't upset but more watchful.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next morning, we decided to explore the ridge back behind the camp. I suspect they come up through there to watch us. Roo seems to watch that area the most. Plus that is where I have found most of the prints. We found a cool X at the top of the ridge almost exactly straight behind our camp spot.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We found some more structures but had to get back before the weather hit. We made it back in time. We sat in our tent and watched the weather. With the sunshade shielding the front of the tent we were able to watch the storm. A little while after the storm ended while sitting in the tent and looking out, I saw a very dark upright shape watching us. I asked my husband if he had his binoculars in the tent because mine was in the car in my backpack. He said yes. I told him to get it out but I was going to keep my eye on the shape. While he was getting it out I glanced to my cot and then looked back. It was gone! I looked through the binoculars but all I saw was the tree it was standing in front of. My husband said I should have showed him the dark shape first so he could have had his first sighting! I told him I was sorry that I didn't think of that. I then showed him where it was standing. Then he went out and went to the spot. He yelled if it was his size and I said he was way smaller! He then raised his arm and it was about the height. I then used the range finder for the distance. It was 66 yards away. When he walked back we measured his arm raised. It was about 7 feet tall! We then walked back there to look for prints. We found none. We did have some knocks off and on the rest of Saturday but nothing more except for the small print I found by my car. I suspect it was a juvenile since it was about 10 inches. You could see the toes in the print. It was coming up from the ravine to the right of the camping spot. It had stepped in the soft area by my car. This happened sometime on Saturday. It was not there on Saturday morning.</div>

Sunday morning after we had packed the cars we walked down to the structure where we leave gifts of food. I had left some bacon and a hot dog for them on Saturday night. I also left a blue marble for them in the log in front of the structure. We noticed that most of the bacon, the hot dog and the marble was still there. It did looked like some of the bacon was taken though. We heard a rustle and then a knock to our left. It was pretty close. We decided to leave and was walking back up when my husband noticed a ORANGE MARBLE on the ground!!!!!!! If you have read any of the previous posts you will know about the marble thing and also previously one of them was orange. This is my second orange marble from them. I have my guesses about this orange marble but I or my husband was not expecting to find another marble AND for it to be orange. </div>

So I took the orange marble and thanked them for the gift. Now I am wondering if one was watching to see if we would find the marble. I am sure it saw our reaction. I don't know who was more surprised or excited about the marble. Me or my husband. Normally he is very low key and had questions about me finding marbles there. Now he was the first one to spot this one and it made him think about the other times I had found the marbles. Hmmm.... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I am done with this chapter of my adventure. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I am not sure what to expect the next time I go there. That is what makes it so addicting. Its those unexpected and head scratching things that happen that make you want more.</div>

I do want to say that not every time I go to this location I have exciting things happen. I want to point out that I know not to expect something "exciting" to happen every time. Its not being realistic. I have learned over the last 5 years to not expect anything. Only go and enjoy being out in the woods. Putting myself in an active Bigfoot location and camping with family and friends is great. Having something tall and hairy coming for a visit just makes it even more special. Its those extra things that make me go more and more.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went to Roo's Place twice in May. There was still snow on the ground and very cold. I had some knocks, found a print and maybe seen something that could be them but since I am not sure. It could be anything. So I will leave it at that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have just got back from camping this weekend. I am still trying to wrap my thoughts around what happened while there. What I will say is that June is much warmer and a more active month than May. I think from now on I will be patient and start camping there in June.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before I go into the details of my weekend, I would like to point out some things about my dog Roo. She has been camping with me now for almost a year. Many times she also has gone out in the field with me in active Bigfoot areas. A highlight of a few things that has happened with Roo: I saw this huge dark upright shape run right in front of Roo and I. It was 15 feet away! We also had one run right by the tent one night. How do I know it was one? I saw the shadow of it running. We also had 2 talking right behind the tent. It sounded like a conversation in Japanese. This was all in the state of Washington last July. Here in Colorado Roo was with me when I saw a reddish brown one watch us from a ravine in a clump of trees about 75 yards away. Roo was freaking out on me until I calmed her down. Then I saw it. Then there is Roo's Place. So this dog is familiar with our forest friends. I have taught her not to chase things in the woods and no barking. So now when there is one close by she tells me by her body language (tail/head down and ears back), sometime a quiet growl-woof and then most of the time she does this quiet grumble growl. She will also turn around and watch when we are around a campfire or just reading at the campsite. When she is nervous she tries to climb in our laps or does her quiet grumble growl. She is not being aggressive, just telling me that there is one close by and she is not happy about it. Could it be other wildlife? She ignores them or we have taught her to ignore them. So if you come to our camping spot you will not hear a dog barking or chasing wildlife. I thought it was important to teach her to be respectful and not to be a problem. It was either doing this or leave her at home. Our forest friends have been known to kill dogs here in Colorado. Also I would like to point out that she does not go to all my locations. Mostly at Roo's Place because she was with us when it all started. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now on with my weekend...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got off of work early on Friday morning. Since it was early, I decided to go camping at Roo's Place. Either alone with Roo or maybe my husband will join me for part of the weekend. I had texted my husband and he said he would come up after work. I arrived at Roo's Place around 2:20. As I got out I noticed that some weather was coming my way. Roo got out of the car and like the last 2 times camping she was nervous and wanted to go back in the car. I told her no. While I was trying to put the tent up before the storm hit, Roo was acting all nervous and seemed like she would bolt. So I put her on her cable tie-out to keep her with me. I was thinking the storm was making her nervous. Now I am not so sure. You see normally she is not on a leash or tied up while we are camping. I only put her on a leash at night. Remember this little bit of information.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I go to Roo's Place I usually do a whoop and my whistle. Just to announce my presence. Much like we do when we ring someone doorbell when we go to someone house. I like to let them know when I am there but I am pretty sure they already know. What was special about this time was I got a return call. In fact several calls back that I would say were whoops. I put the tent up in time before the weather hit. It was close. So I sat in my car for a bit and then later in the tent. It decided to storm off and on until Jon got there just before it got dark. We ate and then went to bed. We did not want to chance a campfire.</div>

<br /></div>

Around 5:00 am, my husband went back home to volunteer with the sheriff's department. He was coming back late afternoon. He loves to camp as much as me. He was willing to drive 2 hours both ways. I truly expected to be camping by myself this weekend. It was nice he could spend part of it with me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Approximately around 11:30 while I was reading there was a series of knocks. It came from where we had heard the rhythmic knocking that first night the year before. It stopped and started up again and then suddenly stopped. I was getting ready to turn my camera on to video to record some of it but it stopped before I could do this.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe 1 1/2-2 hours later I had moved my chair to stay in the shade. I was facing my tent. Then I heard something walk up towards the back of the tent. Then I heard what I thought was clicking but soon realize it sounded more like small sticks being hit together. This went on for at least a minute. Both Roo and I was watching the tent intently. I fully expected to see someone's head or someone walk around the tent. Then I heard a yell to my left and glanced over there. Then everything got quiet. I got up and walked over to the spot behind the tent. I searched for prints but only found 2 sticks that were not there the day before. In fact the sticks were not pine but some type of shrub that did not grow right there. I also noticed the ends of both of the sticks looked like they were hit. So I picked them up and hit them together. One of the ends broke right away. See photos:</div>

I decided to walk from the tree line to the tent and it was what I heard. When I had hit the sticks together it was what I heard. Also I noticed the tent window was close to the corner. During this whole time both Roo and I just sat, listened and watched. It kind of reminded me of when one walked up to the tent while Roo and I was in it after a storm. It had left a 16 inch impression on my tarp. That incident I had talked about last year in an earlier posting in the blog.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I sat down and was reading again. A while later I could hear movements behind me. My back was to the ravine. Roo was acting nervous and then started to do her grumble growl. Then she watched behind me. She was using her nose, ears and eyes and was watching something. I could hear it. She was nervous so I decided to put her leash on her because she looked ready to bolt. I then was hearing voices or something like that. I kept looking but saw nothing. At one point I decided to move my chair so I was able to watch the spot and it wasn't behind me. Roo then laid down and continue to watch but seemed more relaxed but alert. Then I was hearing the movements all around me. All my senses except my eyes were telling me there were several around me. I had decided to continue to read. I was keeping my cool and see what will happen next.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Later on I had decided to get up and do some cleaning. This place has some broken glass from careless people. They were broken years ago. There was moss and dirt built up around the broken glass. I knew this spot has not been used except by us. We leave a sign at the camp spot and it has never been moved. I won't go into any details about it but it is safe to say if you use this spot the signs would be moved. I used the box that our tent came in to put the glass. I went down closer to one of the structures. As I was putting glass in the box I noticed that Roo was in the trees looking nervous. I continued to put the glass in the box when suddenly a small rock hit the side of the box. I quickly looked up and noticed Roo was much closer to the tent and ready to run. I looked around and did not see anything but I knew a small rock hit the box. There was a small dent in the side where I heard the rock hit the box. I laughed and said I was trying to clean up the glass so no one gets hurt. I then walked back to the camp site.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Probably an hour later my husband gets back. I told him what had happened while he was gone. He looked at the sticks and also noticed how the ends looked like they were hit. I showed him the box and the dent. I told him everything. We then started a camp fire. We noticed that the weather was getting stormy again. We ended up eating in the rain and then going to bed early. We had severe thunder storms for 2 hours. We went outside later and there was pea-sized hail. Nothing else happened as far as we know. I slept the whole night. Then we got up, packed and came home.</div>

I almost forgot! I found 2 old prints on Saturday:</div>
