Group searches for Bigfoot in Uinta Mountains

KAMAS, Utah

A group of about 45 people spent two days in the Uinta Mountains searching for the legendary Bigfoot.

Members of the Bigfoot Field Research Organization used sophisticated equipment such as parabolic microphones and night vision goggles to search for the beast on Thursday and Friday.

BFRO director Matt Moneymaker, a lawyer from Capistrano, Calif., said he founded the organization to be a clearinghouse for Bigfoot sightings nationwide. He says he once was as close as 15 feet from a Sasquatch in 1994 in Portage County, Ohio.

"Utah has a reputation of being a place with enough sightings and steep terrain where it is possible to see one," he said

However, acting Kamas District Ranger Dave Ream of the U.S. Forest Service said he was not aware of any Bigfoot sightings. He said that campers should be more worried about bears, which are coming closer than usual to campgrounds because of dry conditions and wildfires.

Still, those who say they have heard or seen Sasquatch are never quite the same.

Scott Taylor of Tacoma, Wash., says he saw a Bigfoot in 2005 while deer hunting on the coast of Washington.

"It's not like going out and watching deer and elk," said Taylor. "These are creatures that don't want to be seen. But when you see one, it changes your life forever."

People actually pay this guy to search for Bigfoot. Moneymaker, indeed.

Was driving East on US 6 today in Utah. Saw a female bear and cub drinking from a pond next to the highway. I have never seen a bear that close to a major highway before.

I find it hard to believe that Bigfoot was seen in Ohio.
The Washington coast and the Utah mountains are another matter.

Well if I were you I wouldn't pay anyone for a BF expedition even in WA or UT. :-)

I wouldn’t. But I think there’s a fair chance this creature exists.

More central. Not sure I was ever there. Well, thanks. I’ll look this up in my atlas.

I’m willing to search for bigfoot too if people will pay for it. I intend to start the search in Las Vegas and then comb the beaches of Bermuda or the Bahamas....

Of course they exist. And Bush took down the twin towers to start a war to reward Halliburton and Big Oil.

Does it not strike anyone as strange, that a skeleton of anything resembling an animal the size and shape of “Big Foot” has NEVER been found?

Not even ONE!..... NEVER!..... Anywhere on the planet!

Yet — folks still believe....
These folks must have such awful lives that they create a fantasy to experience....

It is strange that no skeleton has been found. But it’s equally strange that so many people claim to have seen Bigfoot. Are they ALL lying, confused, or delusional?

They're unlikely to find Bigfoot.

They will find;

"Are they ALL lying, confused, or delusional?"

You can ask that in a country that elected Clinton twice, nearly elected Gore and Kerry.......and believed that nappy headed lying whore in Durham?

There are more than enough lunatics, dumb asses, liars and frauds in America to keep any fantasy going for centuries...

The total lack of ANY physical evidence SHOULD be enough to expose the myth as simply that.....a myth.

You’ll have to do better than that.
