Here are more of the fruits of our summer's work, completing Robert Leiterman's footage and editing of our first exploratory filming trip to the Patterson-Gimlin Film site area. Here we explore, in the pouring rain, the main General Consensus Site, in areas identified by Peter Byrne, Christopher Murphy, Daniel Perez and Cliff Barackman (after Gimlin, who told it to Bobo). Later episodes will cover our more extensive second trip, where we hiked up the creek and located all potential sand and gravel bars, including some down below the area up in the more northern part of the creek, similar to the one described by Al Hodgson. We also explored the MK Davis-identified site, just a bit downstream from the area known mainly from Daniel Perez' booklet, BIGFOOT AT BLUFF CREEK We've received comments and some controversies have already arisen. Just today Al Hodgson was in our store, and insisted that the upstream consensus film site is not the true site, but that it is rather closer to the Bluff Creek Bridge, up from Louse Camp. It bucks against the opinion of nearly everyone, but just a week and two ago we received two anonymous commenter's views that the site is downstream from where most place it. One view goes as far as a mile and a half downstream, and claims to be based on the word of Rene Dahinden, just like Perez' site location does. These debates will be covered in future blog entries. So, stay tuned for more! Enjoy the latest finished videos for now.

Here is PART NINE of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Here we're down in the gulch of the "general consensus site," looking at big trees and giant root balls and logjams.

Here is PART TEN of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Here we're down in the gulch of the "general consensus site," moving upstream. We see the "big bend" and tree root systems "as big as a room," just as Gimlin described them. Up from the Murphy site we move toward the Daniel Perez/Rene Dahinden arrow-marked spot.

Here is PART ELEVEN of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Over the creek and through the woods, to Barackman's site we go, onward through the rain....

Here is PART TWELVE of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Herein those intrepid explorers brave drenched hypothermia to get to the "bowling alley," and then up onto the sandbar to look at big trees on the Barackman-identified site.

Here is PART THIRTEEN of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Herein we look at a lot of big trees for THE Big Tree. This is the end of "Day One," with a bunch more videos of our second trip coming up.

BIGFOOTING NEWS!

Rip Lyttle with Real and Chance, Hip Hop Legend Hunters

Too many of our Bigfooting friends seem to be getting on TV these days! Well, good for them, though the results are often more humorous than seriously Squatchy.
Here are two that appeared recently. Click the links to view them online.

REAL AND CHANCE: LEGEND HUNTERS, EPISODE  6: BIGFOOT,
with our friend RIP LYTTLE. As Rip says, this is "How NOT to hunt for Bigfoot"... Hip Hop Bigfooters? This is very bizarre... watch the full 41-minute episode

STRANGE DAYS WITH BOB SAGET: LET'S GO SQUATCHING (The Search for Bigfoot)

LENNY GREEN, a Bigfoot bard who often sounds like a squatchy Johnny Cash, has released a bunch of new Bigfoot-themed songs on his web site. You can listen to them there, or look around and you'll find a link to obtain your own copy of a CD of his works to date for free or donation. You might remember Mr. Green as the fellow who performed during intermissions at this summer's Oregon Sasquatch Symposium (he's scheduled for next year's event, too), and as the author of classics such as "Piney Woods Wildman" and "Roger, Patty and Me."

Lenny Green, Bigfoot Bard

Just go to http://www.bigfootsong.com/.


New songs include the touching slow ballad of a lonely outdoorsman, "Waiting for a Bigfoot to Come By," the rousing "Bigfoot USA" and "You're a Witness Now!" One will also find a poem read by Green called "Hairy Man," and other songs like "Don't Pull That Trigger," "Where the Wild Things Go," "The Ballad of Ape Canyon," and "Running Bears."

Sex and the Single Loren

Jason Valenti has recently posted LOREN COLEMAN'S classic lecture SEX AND THE SINGLE SASQUATCH from the 2005 Bellingham, WA Sasquatch Research Conference in video form. Check it out!!!

"I do not believe in Bigfoot. And I want to state that as my position right off the bat. I don't believe in Bigfoot any more than I believe in camels, or I believe in elephants. I think belief is the province of religion. ... I accept the reality of the possibility of a Bigfoot."

--Loren Coleman

BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT Update: MORE Videos Released on YouTube..................... Plus Online Book: A HISTORY OF THE SIX RIVERS NATIONAL FOREST, Feisty JREFs

BIGFOOT'S BLOG, Another Special Notice, Late-November 2010

Here are SOME MORE!
Videos Four through Eight of our
BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT 
have now been posted.

Our summer's studies' results are finally coming forth. "C.I.," Robert Leiterman and Yours Truly set out to know Bluff Creek and its history better, especially as pertains to the Patterson-Gimlin Film. We sought to find the true site and track-way location, despite the fact that there are at least five different proposals from various researchers, and memories seem to have grown vague and as mysterious as the regrown forest now covering the once open sandbar where the famous Bigfoot film was shot. Here are the three introductory Bigfoot-nerd sessions trying to lay the preliminary foundations for our subsequent visits to the site area. Enjoy!

Earth Explorer Image centered on the general consensus PGF site area.

As Robert puts it on the YouTube pages: "Steven Streufert, Ian and Robert Leiterman are taking another look at the P-G Film site 43 years later. With conflicting thoughts as to exactly where the film site is today, they have decided to re-evaluate the facts, interview those in the know and spend some extensive leg work on the ground. They are trying to piece together what nature has spent the last 43 years turning back into a riparian forest. Part of an on going series."

Just a picture... links follow below.

Here is PART FOUR of the BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT. Watch Robert Leiterman as he walks up the creek from the Bluff Creek Bridge to the Patterson-Gimlin Film site.

Here is PART FIVE of the BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT, wherein we hike down the dirt road above the site and observe the sand bar and creek canyon below, and finally reach the bat boxes landing on the creek.

Here is PART SIX of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT, wherein three Bigfooting nerds really geek out in the rain nitpicking over the details given us by Peter Byrne for his location of the Patterson-Gimlin Film site.

Here is PART SEVEN of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Here at the "Peter Byrne Site" we compare old photos to new landscapes, stumble upon stumps, and dig in the sand searching for the very ground Patty walked upon in the PGF.

Here is PART EIGHT of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Here we bumble and wade up the creek, through the maze of fallen trees and wood debris, and come to the ostensible site as identified by Christopher Murphy in his book KNOW THE SASQUATCH/BIGFOOT. Still no conclusive proof of the PGF location.

We've been a little active on the JREF Forum lately. Click the name to view the thread about where we got started... or HERE, and HERE (these are pages 116-118 of the "Bigfoot: The Patterson Gimlin Film - Part 3" thread)... and you will see why we had to dive into it. Perhaps we'll always have to deal with this "Swastika Steve" business now. Oh well. Perhaps that is better than "BipolarBookBoy" or "Charlie Manson Eyes"!

History of Six Rivers National Forest book cover

You know what they say: If you can't beat them on the subject itself, attack the messenger. It is fun talking with skeptics! After all, we are one, too, in many ways; but we choose to leave Bigfoot out of that skepticism, and focus more on concepts of Bigfoot to be skeptical over. In fact, we are SKEPTICAL OF SKEPTICS. So there.

Anyway, thanks to one AlaskaBushPilot we got a tip on this fine book. It is available free online, so check it out. It is a US Government Printing Office/US Forest Service book,

A HISTORY OF THE SIX RIVERS NATIONAL FOREST... Commemorating the First 50 Years.
By Pamela A. Conners, Historian, Six Rivers National Forest.

This puts Bluff Creek and it's Bigfooting history into perspective. Check it out!

So much for Bigfoot hunting in Bluff Creek for the year!

Coming Up Soon!!! Robert Leiterman hikes up Bluff Creek from the Bluff Creek Bridge to the PGF site area, filming all the way. Also in the hopper: a very rainy day finds the three intrepid investigators out in the downpour trying to find those Big Trees, comparing the Peter Byrne, MK Davis and Barackman-Gimlin identified sites, trying to find "Dahinden's X" and Daniel Perez' arrow, and generally coming quite close to death by hypothermia and uphill mud climbing exhaustion. ALSO: An extensive new blog entry on our DAY ONE is in the tank and nearly ready to bottle. It should be up this week.
