I have to say what a wonderful and pleasant time in Pennsylvania this past weekend. Some good money was raised for some great charities, and I think all for the most part had a great time.
The crowd was building even by 10AM thankful the rain the previous day had subsided.

My presentation as I usually do on trips where research is the main focus, again was on what we really know about Sasquatches and the relationship to primate habitation and behaviors.

During Saturday, we had a great time meeting folks, talking about their experiences, signing a few posters and books, having some laughs and enjoying the camaraderie with the other participants, speakers and guests.

We had music by “Walt the Musician,” Walter Shrum and even event organizer Eric Altman got in on the action! Walt tried to get me, but I usually sing metal, not folk!!!
Both the evening before the speaking event and the evening after the speaking event were group research taking place at several locations in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
On Friday evening, it was BAPS Co-Founder Shawn Dennis and I along with a family of four. Within a few minutes of our arrival we heard a tremendous howl, not quite sounding like a coyote.
After a quick scramble to get a recorder set up, of course it never repeated itself. However later that night I did get an excellent Coyote howl which wasn’t too far off from us.
So on to the exciting part. After call blasting some baby cries, I decided to do a thermal scan and perhaps take a picture or two, when I spied upon a very silent, rather large creature skulking about using the thermal camera.
Shawn could only look in the direction I was pointing him two, while the family stood behind me and watched the thermal as well.

We were quite excited about capturing the video, and there was quite the buzz about it Saturday, but when we got it home and was able to review it, I passed my decision over to some of my field team, and they all agreed that what we were looking at was most likely a bear, which stopped to look back at us by standing up after Shawn had throw a whoop or two at it.
I would like to thank all those involved for their kindness, and camaraderie. A special thanks to Eric Altman for having me along on this jaunt, and hopefully we’ll be doing it again next year!!!
Remember folks, that’s what this field is about. The first priority is and should be to enjoy yourself. Yes there is hard work involved at times. Frustrations and disappointments. But all of the negatives are far outweighed by the positivity of this past weekend.
