A Trip to Washington is in Order

Last year I met with Dustin Gebhardt, Bobby Ward, and Rick Mianecki to explore some missile silos in the desert and camp out in the Cascades at a place called Wellington. It was a great trip, but only a small part of the state. Washington, also known as The Pacific Northwest is a region full of natural wonders and mysteries. But one of its most enduring mysteries is the elusive creature known as Bigfoot. For decades, people have been searching for this legendary creature, said to roam the forests of the region. One of the most popular areas for Bigfoot sightings is the Olympic National Forest in Washington state. Here, enthusiasts and researchers alike have been exploring the forests, hoping to catch a glimpse of the creature.

Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a large, ape-like creature that is said to inhabit the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Descriptions of Bigfoot vary, but most people believe it is a tall, hairy creature that walks upright on two legs. The creature has been the subject of countless books, documentaries, and TV shows, and it continues to fascinate people around the world.

The Olympic National Forest is a vast, dense wilderness that covers more than 1 million acres. The forest is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including black bears, cougars, and elk. It is also home to many hiking trails, campgrounds, and other recreational activities. For Bigfoot researchers, the forest is an ideal location to search for evidence of the creature's existence.

One of the most popular ways to search for Bigfoot in the Olympic National Forest is to go on guided tours. These tours are led by experienced guides who know the area well and can take visitors to areas where Bigfoot sightings have been reported. The guides often use special equipment, such as night vision goggles and audio recording devices, to try and capture evidence of Bigfoot's existence.

Another popular method for searching for Bigfoot is to set up trail cameras in the forest. These cameras can capture photos and videos of wildlife, including Bigfoot if it exists. Some researchers have reported capturing images and videos that they believe show Bigfoot, but the evidence has yet to be confirmed.

While many people remain skeptical of Bigfoot's existence, the allure of the creature continues to draw people to the Olympic National Forest and other areas of the Pacific Northwest. Whether or not Bigfoot exists remains a mystery, but the search for the creature has become a part of the region's culture and identity.

In conclusion, the Olympic National Forest in Washington state is a popular destination for Bigfoot researchers and enthusiasts. While evidence of the creature's existence remains elusive, many people continue to search for it in the dense forests of the region. Whether or not Bigfoot exists, the search for the creature has become a cultural phenomenon that continues to fascinate people around the world.

I am pretty sure in 2023, I have to venture back to the Cascades. I think I have unfinished business there.
