August of 2006 I got married and the new wife and I stopped and got our picture taken with that same bigfoot. At the time there was a fire going on in the area and inside the lady working the cash register for souvineres asked us if we were in town to go up at the fire site. Well we explained that we see plenty of fires in Elko, Nevada and weren't interested in seeing fires. Thats when she explained that everybody was going to the site of the fire not to watch fires but to wait for bigfoot to be pushed out into the open because of the fires. Well I busted out laughing while my wife was trying to get my attention to get me to stop laughing. It turns out that the souvinere lady was a firm believer in bigfoot and DID NOT appreciate me making fun of the situation. That might explain why my souvineres were so expensive, lol. Well we had a great laugh after we got back in the truck and a great story to tell.
We also got our picture taken with Paul Bunyon and the blue ox a little North West of Sasquatch town. Thats another story. fatrooster.
