Turtle Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 ___This deserves it own thread inasmuch as it is a sincere scientific endeavor. Here is the story so far: ___OK thens...time to kick it up a notch or two or three. I live no more than 20 leagues (a league is 3 statute miles) from Silver Star Mountain & inasmuch as it is a hotspot of sightings of Sasquatch, photographs of Sasquatch, & tumbling-down-a-hill-lost-hiker-photographer-trying-to-get-Sasquatch-pics-brought-out-rescue-squads guy ___Anyway, I'm puttin' together a little research expedition squad this month to go have a look see. Needing volunteers.___Here is a tempting link to get you started:http://www.bfro.net/news/silver_star_mountain.aspSearch World Wide Web for "Sasquatch Silver Star" for further ellucidation.****************************************************************************An authentic cryptozoological showdown! Turtle and Sasquatch in a game of Hide and Seek! Turtle is it. How high do you count before you begin searching? And in what base? I have $5.00 on that Sasquatch eludes Turtle, but only because Turtle is invisible and therefore blind. Although I bet Turtle has a trick or two in his shell to fool even the most wiley of the Bigfoot. Bill*****************************************************************************___Countdown has begun; Racoon & I leave Sint Patrick's Day morn. (March 15 in base twelve). ___We shall look for footprints & other tracks, bits of fur, bits of poo, nests, chiiling screams, clear shots, & video footage. I shall disclose an exact time & location of departure when I think it up. ___We accept serious volunteers in the field only please, but desk-side crypto zoologists may suggest experiments here for us to conduct. ___We reserve exclusive rights to any and all audio, & video we make whether we fake it or not. As safety is a key issue, we require all participants to have firearm certification from the Dick's School of Shooting. ___More to come...******************************************************************************* Searching....

Turtle Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 hey i've been to dicks.I wish I could go with you guys, But i'm busy Clap! ___Hahah! I make bad vp shooting joker. But...it's no joke, it's a test. If anyone shows up with that certificate I send them home. This is serious business & I intend no harm to any flora or fauna. I am going to observe & document.___Hahaha! Besides physical instruments, I'm taking meta-physical instruments as well. Drum, flute, mouth harp, mathemagical box, & assorted Khua. ___Racoon has already added bird watching, and we have also astronomy, weather watching, & horticultural science to name a few subjects to include in the expedition.___Interested parties posting to go will receive the secret sign, at the write time.

Buffy Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 The little one and I always are on the lookout for the Sierra Sasquatch when we're up in the mountains, but mostly we just see lots of bears...not as cute and their claws are much bigger... I've always loved that 8mm that your avatar is taken from Turtle: notice how he's walking away, turns to look and doesn't change pace: "Hmmph, stoopid Sierra Clubbers and their gol'dang noisy clanging aluminum cups...go home!"

Turtle Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yetis-R-Us,Buffy ___Definately bear here as well as cougar:eek: ; do come prepared. :friday: The Sasquatch (Sasquatches? Sasquatchae?:)) often have the reputation of startling and/or frightening people, however I have heard no relaible reports of them actually atacking humans. I take the view that their stone & pinecone throwing is playfull curiosity. so I intend to make my prescence known. (Good idea to avoid stumbling on a bear too).___I encourage the mushroom eaters to work magically to promote a succesfull expedition by the technique of visualization.:friday: ___I have a portable PA with which to amplify the rythmic sounds of the bull-roarer, the khua, & the drum, etc.. We shall soothe the savage beast, lure it in, & then kick on the floodlights! Surprise!:friday: :friday: :friday: :friday: :phones: :friday: :hyper: :hyper: :friday: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I always enjoy the tanquility of being up in a tree. I have built two treehouses, and think that they would be ideal for Sasquatch Spotting. They may not be expecting someone to be in a tree looking down.

We must secure a free permit to remove any forest products. I plan to visit the office next week & find out the particulars. The link I gave above for Gifford Pichot outlines our rights & responsibilities within National Forrest Boundaries.___The wagon is ready, but unless we go in a pick-em-up truck I have no secure rack on my vehicle for it (in a real emergency I will tie it on like Beverly Hillbillys!:eek2: ) I figure just to take what I need from it & load it in the trunk as it's just a couple day camp.___I have my maps out & found that some of my old mining claims are less than 10 miles from the area we're going, but the roads coming up from the South (the way we're going) don't connect with those coming in from the North (there are trails connecting, but no driveable roads). This area is rich in geology! I love rocks!___I think we better take some plaster mix in case we find footprints; ___Due to the secret nature of this expedition, I ask those of you following along to keep it secret; we don't want a crowd of hundreds flocking up there all at once.:shrug: ___Back to the maps then!:Guns: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racoon Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Pick-em up truck is sitting in the driveway.Toyota V6 w/ Canopy - As an option.........:eek2: I am close to the Fish and Wildlife office.Next to a certain person's place of employment...:shrug: Could I get a permit there?? I don't think they would let you take home a nice fern would you?Thats only during the Down Time that is to be expected, as we chase away unwittingly, the Sasquatch in which we are trying to observe.. I only hope Mt. St. Helens doesn't blow up on us! :eek2: :eek2: Provisions are being sought.... Much More to come...Much Much Much More!! :Guns: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Pick-em up truck is sitting in the driveway.Toyota V6 w/ Canopy - As an option.........:eek2: Wagon too tall for canopy; but truck still an option; will share gas.I am close to the Fish and Wildlife office.Could I get a permit there?? Yes; that's the place.I don't think they would let you take home a nice fern would you?Maybe; ask at office what our limits be. I only hope Mt. St. Helens doesn't blow up on us! :eek2: :Guns: Why the hell not? Great pictures, recordings, reports, stories, we get from unique perspective. You can tape me screaming 'we'll be famous like Pompeii' as the ash buries me (us:shrug: ) Provisions are being sought....Me too; currently making some jerky from leftover beef.Much More to come...Much Much Much More!! :hihi: Much much...:eek2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been up a tree with a camera in many a year. Have you seen these self-climbing tree stands hunters have now? Now those are kewl!!! If I climb a tree with my camera I certainly will post the image if I survive it.:hihi: On an interesting scientific note, just a few miles NE of our intended target is a sky-crane in the canopy of a stand of old-growth forest. I'll find the link in a sec.___Wow! The first link describes the canopy crane project & the second is a live camera on the crane that you can control! Check out Sasquatch country. http://depts.washington.edu/wrccrf/http://depts.washington.edu/wrccrf/cranecam/cranecam-1.html___What I really need is a FLIR camera; anyone got a loaner? I hear it's only $5,000 an hour to hire a FLIR equipped chopper for a nightime aerial excursion. ___Maps cross referenced; route solidifying. Weather is a big question this far out.Cheers,Turtler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racoon Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well, minor setback.F & W couldn't get us the permits we were seeking; redirected to another office across town.Still plenty of time to make appropriations and adjustments Talked to them about introducing a Sasquatch insemenation and captive breeding program! :hihi: :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
