Willow Creek Page #3

Right.

There's no food and there's no water

unless you want to drink the wild water

and hunt the wild animals, you know.

There are some berries and things,

which you have to

know the wild plants,

so I'd say, you know, go prepared

and have the tools you

need to survive, right?

- Yeah.

- A lot of people aren't ready for that.

They think there should

be a, a campground there

with a like porter

potty or something.

You know, you're not in the...

It's still the wilderness.

I mean, it's...

Yeah. It's not technically

a wilderness,

but it's still pretty

wild, you know,

and we've seen many, many

bears, uh, out there,

um, so, watch out for that.

We are going to go see Tom Yamarone.

He's the Bob Dylan of

the Bigfoot Community.

Where does he live, Mordor?

- No jokes around him, all right?

- So, can I look him in the eye?

OK. No jokes.

- All right, great.

- We're rolling.

This is like Christmas in July,

uh, because I'm here

with Tom Yamarone and,

uh, Tom, I know you know Bob Gimlin.

I do.

So, uh, why don't you tell

us a little bit about, um,

the Patterson-Gimlin site?

Yeah. Well, I'll tell you,

it's a site that's so remote

and what you're going

to love about it

is, when you get in there,

it's a steep canyon,

there's a running creek,

there's forest that's thick

and you're going to feel

how isolated they were.

They were really truly

in the wilderness.

How do you think those guys

were feeling that day when...

I mean, they've been,

they've been searching

for a little while and to finally,

to finally come across what was,

you know, there by the riverbed...?

Yeah. Well, you know,

I'll tell you, they were bored,

not bored, but they had, they

had no success up to that point

and, boom, they come

around that log jam

and there's this big hair-covered

creature standing there,

starts walking away from them

and they knew right then they

had won the prize, you know,

if they could get it on film

and so, Patterson scrambles,

Gimlin watches him,

and they, they think they got it.

So, they were, couldn't

have been more excited.

You know, the only thing that would be

better, if there was a song about it.

I just so happened

to have written one.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Tom Yamarone with,

uh, "Roger and Bob."

Rode Out That Day, yeah.

Roger and Bob rode out that day

"fill that log jam

got in their way

They got lucky on

Bluff Creek that day

Yeah, they got lucky

when she walked away

Roger and Bob rode out that day

Roger and Bob were gone a week

Just riding them forests

around Bluff Creek

They made maps...

Sorry.

Blew it.

- That's all right, man.

- That's OK.

- That's all right.

- They shot some film.

They shot some film

of a Bigfoot there

She walked on two legs

and was covered in hair

Roger and Bob had quite a week

Yeah.

Al got a call on the telephone

Roger and Bob,

they stopped by his home

They told him about

their good luck

And Roger said,

"I filmed that son of a buck"

Al got a call on the telephone

Here we go.

OK.

Hi, I'm here with, uh,

Shaun White Guy Sr.

She's, uh, a resident of

the Hopa reservation.

And, Shaun, I understand

you have a Sasquatch story

that you'd be willing

to share with us?

Um, yeah, I just have a small story.

It's, uh, me and my dad,

uh, went on a camping or,

you know, a, a Christian... cut.

- It's Hoopa.

- Hoopa?

Yes, Hoopa.

Okay, good. Thank you.

Hi. I'm here with

Shaun White Guy Sr.,

and, uh, she is a resident of

the, uh, Hoopa Reservation,

and I understand you'd be willing

to share a Sasquatch story with us?

Um, yeah.

Um, when I was little,

about eight years old,

I, uh, wanted to go on a camping,

a Christian like, camping

trip with my dad...

Hmm-hmm.

And so, I asked to go and

he said I could go and, um,

we were heading towards like,

Ferndale, Garberville area.

I wasn't too sure,

but I know I was going.

And so, um, we're

following my Uncle Tiny,

and then, all of a sudden, um,

a big black image came

in-between the cars

and my dad turned the steering wheel

and we flipped into the like,

the gutter, and we looked up

and there was Sasquatch

walking in front of us,

up towards the, the like, field,

a big huge, it was a

big square open field

and there was the tree range

and we actually got to watch

him, uh, walk in front of us

and he was tall and he

was like, long-haired...

- Were you scared?

- Uh, yeah, I was, I was scared.

I couldn't believe

that it, you know,

I always heard rumors and

everybody's talking about,

that they've seen it, you know, and,

and when I actually

looked up and saw him,

he was just big and he was hairy

and he made like this weird,

like snorkeling kind of sound.

I, I, I'd never heard it before.

And then, when he turned

around and looked,

all I could see is his little

brown eyes with like,

right here is like,

skin around his eyes.

There was no hair right

there, just skin,

and he just looked back

and made this little noise

and then, I just looked away

and I just closed my

eyes and I was like,

"Oh, don't come back, don't."

I just don't believe in Bigfoot.

Do you know how many new species

are discovered every single year?

Twenty thousand species

every single year.

Right.

OK.

And, what do you

think that's including?

Do you think that's including

animals and creatures?

That's plants, plankton,

uh, microscopic organisms.

- Oh, yeah.

- Not what we're talking about.

And, and I'm talking

about mammals, too.

Monkeys. All right?

Do you know last year, they

discovered a snub-nosed monkey?

That's a brand new species

they never even knew existed,

- but they found it.

- Yeah, but...

And they never even found

a body, dead or alive,

but they found it.

Not finding a tiny monkey

in a giant rainforest

the size of a continent

is not the same as not finding

a 900-pound hairy biped

roaming around a very

highly populated

Pacific Northwest area.

That's not the same, babe.

So, you're a ranger?

Seventeen years.

Is that cool if we, if

we mentioned that or...?

Oh, I don't think it's important.

- I, I wouldn't.

- That's cool.

Uh, so, um, I'm here

with Troy Andrews and,

uh, you know, he's

willing to share with us,

uh, uh, an incredible,

uh, encounter.

When did this happen?

Oh, a couple of years ago.

I was hunting in New Orleans.

That's, uh, where Bluff Creek is?

Yeah. Well, near there.

Sorry. Just go on. Yeah.

Yeah. So, I was out in,

out in the woods with my,

my dog, Bella, a beautiful girl.

She was a golden retriever,

and, uh, well, she, she

took off in the woods and,

uh, and I called, called

for her to stop and,

uh, she didn't, you know.

She just kept going and,

uh, which is weird,

because usually,

she's very obedient.

And, uh, so I went in

the woods after her.

I was, I was calling

and calling and, uh,

nothing, you know.

She, uh, I kept calling and, and,

and then, I started to get

a little nervous because

the sun was going down,
