New Bigfoot Sign Sighting

The Sky Valley Chronicle says in “Breaking News” for June 29, 2012: “It’s on the south side of U.S. Highway 2 at a coffee shop just a few miles up the road from the Sky Valley Chronicle ranch where the mighty Chronicle is banged out daily by dedicated, decent, church goin’ God fearing American journalists who load their own ammo (.45 long colt mostly) and practice the lost art of Zen motorcycle repair.”
“Sky Valley Washington” refers to the towns and valley between Monroe and Skykomish, Washington State, United States, where the Skykomish River Valley flows and converges with the Snoqualmie River to make the Snohomish River. The towns from east to west include Skykomish, Baring, Grotto, Index, Gold Bar, Startup, Sultan and Monroe. The valleys were founded in the mid-19th century by homesteaders who utilized the trades logging, mining, farming and in the late 1890s, the East to West Burlington Northern Train.
Have you seen one that is actually on a North American roadway?
There are various signs (see here) you can find online, which I suppose people could put up on private roads, but it is the real ones we’re looking for, right?
There are a few actual Bigfoot/Sasquatch signs out there. Have you seen others like these?
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Could it really be so bad for authorities in the US and Canada to take the same approach to this subject that’s been taken in Bhutan – a nation from which the rest of the world could learn a lot – and simply accept at least that this could be out there; if it is, there may not be many; and so motorists, keep your eyes open and don’t treat this road like Le Mans?
Who would not benefit from that?
Exactly.
Given what a deer can do to a car, I think a deer crossing sign would work just as well, and even the most ardent Bigfoot believer will admit there are far, far more deer than Bigfoot crossing US and Canadian roads.
That last sign looks the strangest. What, is Bigfoot walking a tight rope over Niagra Falls, or is Patty strutting her stuff in some sort of beauty pageant?
Fhqwhgads: Well, yeah, but I’d say that pretty much every mile of American road that could have a deer sign has one now.
To say nothing of deer signs having a pay-attention factor that, by this point, probably dips below even that of, well, you know, speed-limit signs.
And this is where that old curiosity factor, that seems to be lacking in the most interesting places, comes into play.
Of course, North American land-management agencies – conditioned to think of everything new as a Major Potential Headache – probably have a curiosity factor ranking somewhat below, well, think of the least curious person you know. Subtract 5,000 and take the square root of that, then multiply by 0.0001. It’s only taken them 50 years to come around to the thinking that cougars don’t check Acknowledged Range Maps every day, and stick to those boundaries.
So, never mind…
The sign in the top picture is found on the Pikes Peak highway and is the inspiration for my username on just about everything and my profile picture on FB. I sincerely hope and pray that the Waldo Canyon Fire doesn’t jump the HWY 24 and start to burn towards Pikes Peak. It is one of our favorite places and my kids and I always look for Bigfoot when we drive that way. My heart literally hurts thinking about all the people who have lost their homes and loved ones because of this fire.
Bigfoot ballet?
🙂
I should have asked: does anyone know the names of the summits in the top photo? Those are two cool peaks (literally!).
