Many Bigfoot sightings over the last 50 years occur close to Mount Rainier, not far from where I used to go fishing (See "Fishing With The Old Man" in the January All This Is That archives). As far as we know, this map shows the approximate range of the North American Bigfoot, which may well be a cousin to the Yeti (The Yeti presumably crossed into North America over the land bridge between Russia and Alaska).
This is also the location of Kenneth Arnold's highly publicized flying saucer sighting in 1947, which many believe triggered the whole flying saucer phenomena. Maybe there's something in the water up there?

In Sherman Alexie's novel "Indian Killer" one of the Native American characters takes other natives up to see bigfoot. They drive up near Mount Ranier in a pickup in the middle of the night, right to a certain spot and wait for bigfoot to appear.
ReplyDeleteYes! I read that book, and I'd totally forgotten it...
