Bigfoot's Fans Keep Close Tabs on his annual Northwest Tour: A Summary

The following is a summary of an article written by Herald Writer, Leslie Moriarty.

Leslie Moriarty writes her article after interviewing Cliff Crook.  She creates a unique picture of Crook, explaining that he has closed off one specific room in his own home and is using it to showcase all his Bigfoot paraphernalia.

She continues her article at the trailhead of Cook's journey,  when Crook first encountered Bigfoot while he was camping in the Duvall area.  She suggests that it was this incident that hooked him and catapulted him into this unique search for answers.  This single incident has driven him for 44 years, as Moriarty puts it," searching for the legendary hairball".

Moriarty then switches to a man named Fred Bradshaw who resides in Grays Harbor.  She shares with her readers that Bradshaw was only a child when he first encountered his Bigfoot in the 1950's.  As is typical with most sightings, it was during a family camping trip.  The family had camped at a site at the base of the, now infamous, Mount St. Helens.  No one could have known  then that it would be the site of Mother Nature's anger a mere 40 years in the future.

As with most who find themselves compelled to search, Bradshaw, who eventually became a sheriff's officer, spends his retirement researching for Bigfoot Research, which is a company he owns.  Olympia is the perfect spot for this endeavor, as it sits in the middle of one of the most active areas in the Northwest.

There is a compelling thread between these two men, besides their unusual hobby.  They both have noted that the majority of sightings are in two months of the year, August and September, Moriarty reports.   Both men also estimate the Bigfoot population in the Pacific Northwest as around 100.   

Moriarty also finds the two men agree on a lot more things.  They both think Bigfoot is a carnivore, not a vegetarian, though they do eat plant life.  They feel their main food sources are rodents and fish. 

Bradshaw explains why Bigfoot has that peculiar odor.  He says, "They have been known to roll in the blood of the animals they kill and to spread their own feces on themselves to keep the unknown away."

Moriarty asked Crook the same question.  Moriarty suggests that Crook thinks the smell is specifically created as a warning.  Something like a skunk, a musk that is released when they feel fear or perceive threat. 

Moriarty reports that the statistics released by the experts report that "90 percent of Bigfoot sightings are false". However, both men are convinced that the sighting reported in the Granite Falls area is the real McCoy.
