Arches are a part of the highly discussed and highly controversial subject of structures and what they are and what they mean in the never-ending debate over bigfoot.

Through the ages mankind has found ways to make arches -- incorporating them into buildings, walls, roads, bridges, aqueducts, etc.  And we love arches. We see the beauty of them along with their practicality in a building.

We admire arches made by nature, the stone and rock formations, the plants, and the trees.

And we adore the arches allegedly made by Bigfoot while we ponder what they mean.

Day of Random Thoughts. Today. DOGMAN. What is it? Or is it?

Suddenly it seems lately that you can't go on the internet or check your emails or messages or group posts without seeing something about Dogman. Heck, it's even on the news. Haven't done much in-depth research into the subject. I've read some encounters, read a few articles, and been sent a few photos. Some of it looks hokey, some downright spooky, and some quite compelling. So, how does it connect to the whole Bigfoot picture?

There is much talk concerning what the military knows about bigfoot. Here's one story that caught my eye.

This was reported in the Potomac News on January 17, 1977, where they published a long article about the incidents.

"Much had been written about the monster at the ammunition storage area at Quantico Marine Corps Base..." but yet the paper did not print much. I assume that they were also referring to the reports made by civilians in the surrounding areas of the base.

It is said that there have been reports of a creature in and around the base going back at least 50 years. (which has been designated at "The ASA Monster" -- ammunition storage area -- by the base officials). While there may be many people and much activity on most of the base, it is worth noting that if you look across Rt. 1, you see the Prince William State Forest.

We can't resist sharing more stories of bigfoot and water. This is an aspect of the creature that makes so much sense and many don't consider it. But then again, many do. These stories are for you.

Bob Titmus happened to be in the Butedale area of British Columbia bigfoot hunting by boat out of Klemtu when he heard about this alleged sighting in July 1965. The shore worker who reported the encounter enjoyed recreational fishing and was lucky enough to have his own outboard boat. His friend also had a boat and the two of them usually met and went out together. On this particular day, the friend wasn't able to leave as early as the shore worker, so they decided to each take their own boat and meet later.

The island is a large one that faces the mainland across a narrow channel of the inside passage. There is also a small island near the mainland shore in front of the village where the two men liked to fish on the far side of the small island.
