Bigfoot Research Trip

Normally this time of year I don't get a chance to get out in the woods due to the weather being harsh. I don't particularly like the cold temperatures anymore. But recently we have had some unusually warm days and I was able to spend a few hours out in the mountains.

The area I chose to go into is one that I have researched for years with good results. It had been roughly a month since I had been in this particular area. I was hopeful that I could find something but it had rained hard the previous night.

Finally Back In The Woods!

I finally got to go back into the woods. I hurt my knee about one month ago and then as it was almost better I blew it out carrying some furniture. The second time was much worst than the first and I was down to using a cane for a few days. Yeah, I was moving really slowly through the house and could not even bend my knee for a few days.

Fast forward about 10-12 days and my knee is feeling much better. Not all the way better, but good enough I got to take a short trip to my gifting area.

Unknown Vocals Investigation

This has been the worst year I've had in 24 years of active field work. Sickness, weather, lockdowns and so on have hindered most plans I had this year. It's been very frustrating.

I call my father every day at 9am without fail. He is more than just my father. He has many roles in the story of my life.  Father, big brother and best friend so after moving out of town to an area that is basically a well paved road through the forest I was and still am very happy for him because he's now in his element, completely surrounded by nature.

During one of our morning calls last year he had mentioned that he and his lovely wife had both heard a variety of vocals that neither could explain. We had talked about many of the other possibilities but my father and I have a lot in common, not the least of which is spending our lives in and out of the woods from a very early age.

In other words when he hears something in the woods that he can't identify I tend to take it a little more seriously than some.
