BIGFOOT'S BLOG
Mid-October 2012 Edition

In honor of the 45th anniversary of the PGF I am going to jump the gun and publish some current maps of our work in surveying and documenting the film site as part of the BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT. I still have to post all of the information about events and processes conducted over the summer, which included work with Bill Munns on the site. Sorry, I've been busy. Expect those posts to appear here soon, along with the Bigfoot Days 2012 celebration in Willow Creek. For now, enjoy these documents painstakingly created by Robert, revealing the current state of the true Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film Site.

(All maps are copyright, BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT, drawn by Robert Leiterman, with research by Steven Streufert, Ian C., Rowdy Kelley and Jamie Schutmutt. Special input from Bill Munns has been appreciated, as well.)

Our current project is the Bluff Creek Trail Camera Survey, being implemented gradually at the moment. Check out the temporary page here:

Downstream of film site, including the first sighting spot as identified by Bill Munns,
just a few yards southwest from Gimlin's memory of the spot.

Crop showing eastern edge of the site sandbar, including the "Bowling Alley" which
helped Gimlin remember the spot.

Crop showing the western edge of the site and major artifacts surrounding subject.

Detail showing the first part of the film trackway, Patterson's camera position, as
well as first sighting and Frame 352 locations.

Another detail, showing the legend and eastern start of "Bowling Alley."

Sorry, but the map is now too big for our scanners, hence the details and cropping. We'll get a full version in ultra-high resolution done before too long. ENJOY!

New Blog: THE BIGFOOT NEWS AND REVIEW

BIGFOOT'S BLOG
News Flash, October 5th, 2012

I've created a new blog to complement this one. As this blog has grown it has become more than a blog. It is more of a research web site. To accommodate more brief and quick, fun and newsy or pop-cultural posts, I've created THE BIGFOOT NEWS AND REVIEW...

Click to Enlarge.
Text from the first post:
What is this page? What is a "blog"? Originally meaning "web log," a blog was supposed to be a kind of online journal, a collection of interests, ideas and links. As my old blog page, BIGFOOT'S bLOG, http://bigfootbooksblog.blogspot.com/, has become more of a "web site" or newsletter, with posts ranging up to 70 pages in Word, this other page has been implemented to try to get back to fun and basics, to cover smaller things, to convey momentary events and thoughts, cultural debris, and current happenings in the news. It will also feature brief opinion pieces that fall short of being philosophical essays. With a few more ads put in there, too, perhaps this page will help offset some of the major losses to my income due to massive amounts of time spent on Bigfoot without pay and often much labor of thought and writing. I hope you like it!

This blog will also be a repository for much of the content that I've been posting to the Facebook black hole at: THE COALITION FOR REASON, SCIENCE AND SANITY IN BIGFOOT RESEARCH. You might wish to join there as well to keep abreast of and discuss all thing Bigfooty.
