PORT HENRY -- It may be that Champ, the Lake Champlain monster, is getting more reclusive.

A summer expedition to find the mysterious creature brought a dozen participants and sophisticated tracking equipment but didn't find anything.

Another expedition will be held next summer, said organizer Ruby Anderson of Naugatuck, Conn.

"We have learned some important things through Champ Expedition 2008 -- like make sure you have backup equipment in case of problems with cameras (and) cell phones."

The group will once again be headquartered at Button Bay State Park and Campground near Vergennes, Vt., she said.

"We chose this location because there have been several sightings of Champ at Button Bay. Our own sighting of Champ in 2007 also took place in Button Bay. All evidence seems to indicate a family group of Champtany in the Button Bay area."

"Champtany" is the designation Champ Quest Director Dennis Hall gave to Champ several years ago.

"It was my own sighting that got me researching and studying Champ," Anderson said.

When I was young I believed. Those were the days!

I believed in:

The Loch Ness Monster
The Lake Champlain Monster
Bigfoot
Yeti
UFO’s
The Bermuda Triangle
Ancient Astronauts
Everything I read in “The People's Almanac”
I believed Yuri Geller
I though Jimmy Carter would make a GREAT President (I was 15)

Now I'm still fascinated. I hold open a little hope for a bigfoot like creature in the far east. I hope and pray thylacine’s are still alive somewhere in Tasmania. I follow the crypto ping list and hope.

Woe is me. :)

You forgot giant alligators in the sewers of NYC. Those were supposed to exist all over NYC and chase the utility workers around down there.

Sigh . . .

Of course, now I’m convinced that giant blood-sucking leeches are living in Washington, D.C. - and I have proof this time!
