Great New Videos From Jaime Avalos - Sierra Sasquatch

The date above is actually when I started to write this entry. Date published was actually Sunday, January 17, 2010

I just wanted to make you all aware of some newer videos that Jaime Avalos has posted on his YouTube channel. He was back east over the holidays and on his return, he passed through Reno, where we got a chance to meet up for a few hours. What a genuine, really nice guy! He knows I'm just starting out in my research endeavors, and it was great to sit and talk, and listen to him. It was generous of him to share some of his ideas, and techniques in his approach to field work. Jaime operates outside the "conventional" box, and is genuinely concerned for the welfare of the Sasquatch. It is researchers like Jaime, with this sort of attitude, I am trying to align myself with. I want to stay far away from the guys who are supposedly trying to hunt a Bigfoot down with a tranquilizer gun, so they can put it on display as if it were the "Great Kong." You know the type. The kinda guy that keeps a severed hand in a jar of formaldehyde, and proclaims it to be from Sasquatch. Don't get me started! I digress..... If you have been following this blog for a while, I think you know of the researchers I do respect. "Nuff" said.

Jaime found some interesting stuff while he was back east. In particular, a fresh killed snake, lying in the snow, with no evidence of how it got there. Jaime has had "gift exchange" experiences in the Sierras, and he found the snake near an area where he left some treats. He's not saying that it was a "gift exchange," but it is a thought. Then he came across a particular tree twist, which I got to see first hand, as Jaime brought it back with him. It is a very intricate twist, to a better than 1 inch sapling. No human could have the strength to have twisted that little tree the way it was. There were no signs at all of anything mechanical cutting it. In fact, there were no cuts at all. You can see that it is not a fresh twist, but it's a very interesting formation, nonetheless.

Coincidentally, this past Saturday, I received a call from Jaime, just as I had taken a break from writing this entry. He was calling from the western side of the Sierras, and he gave me an update on what he's been doing since we met, earlier this month. He headed out to the west side, and met up with Ron Morehead (BigfootSounds.com). Then he went to investigate some areas of suspicion, where he thinks the trio he's been tracking, may have been headed toward from the eastern Sierras.


This has got to be the coolest tree twist I've ever seen!


Another stick formation, found in the area near the tree loop (above).

He found some possible tracks, which by their dimensions, could belong to one of the trio. While preparing to cast a print, he heard a loud scream, which he told me, compared to some of Mr. Morehead's recordings. You can hear his reaction in this video, below.


After he followed the direction of the tracks, he came across this stick formation:


If you're familiar with Jaime's videos, you may have seen some of the other "stick" evidence he has come across, while tracking the trio (ie. the new X spot video above). Jaime has the theory, from evidence he has seen, that one of these juvenile Squatches, has a penchant for sticks. Thus, he's dubbed this particular Squatch with the name, Styx.

Jaime hasn't heard anything new on when the "Sierra Sasquatch" episode of MonsterQuest, might air. If I hear anything from him on it, I will definitely post it here.

Mr. Avalos has posted 20 new videos in the past 2 weeks. To see them, CLICK HERE to go to his YouTube channel.

MonsterQuest: Season 3 Premieres Wednesday, January 13, 2010

I just checked History.com, and Season 3 of MonsterQuest premieres Wednesday, January 13, 2010. It appears the first episode will not be Bigfoot related, rather "Killer Jellyfish." I know many of us Squatchers are looking forward to the new season, because it is MonsterQuest that fuels our habitual craving for anything "Bigfoot." We know we are at least expecting at least one episode devoted to Bigfoot. "Sierra Sasquatch," should be airing this season. You can watch a few of the Jaime Avalos videos, on the right side of this page, and see some of the footage he shot during filming, that took place this past October.

If you're not familiar with Mr. Avalos, he had a sighting in 2006, which inspired him to do his own field work, and since, has become a well respected researcher. (CLICK HERE to read his sighting report on BFRO.) I first learned of Mr. Avalos and his work in the Member's area of OregonBigfoot.com (Excellent source of anything and everything Squatchy). Autumn Williams did quite an extensive interview with him, discussing his work, and his findings. Mr. Avalos has been following a group of 3 juvenile Sasquatch, over several hundred miles of the Sierras. He has taken dozens of footprint casts, and has had some of the them authenticated by Dr. Meldrum. (See Video Below)

Mr. Avalos has been able to predict their movement, and this is how he has been able to follow them, and gathering more casts. These casts have been found in very desolate areas, from above 10,000 feet in elevation down to below sea level. I'm chomping at the bit to see the Sierra Sasquatch episode!

Also, Mr. Avalos, Dr. Meldrum, Autumn Williams, Cliff Barackman, and some other great Bigfoot Authorities will be at the Oregon Sasquatch Symposium on June 19th and 20th, 2010 in Eugene, Oregon. Hope to see you there!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just realized that I've profiled Mr. Avalos before, back in October. (CLICK HERE to read.) I do want to reiterate one thing, and I think it applies to any Bigfoot Researcher you may know:

"Please indulge me, but this is purely an idea, a "wish" of sorts, on my behalf. If you are familiar with the areas in the videos, please keep the information to yourselves. I'm sure you'll agree, that one wrong individual, venturing out to one of these locations, could be detrimental to the work Mr. Avalos is conducting, and the individuals, he seems to be building a kinship with. Yes, it's a free country, but if you are a Squatch junkie, like me, you will want to be protective of these individuals he is tracking, and the great stuff Mr. Avalos has been able to accomplish to this point.

I hope you understand my point. "Respect" is where I think I'm trying to go with this. I think that if you are able to watch a few of his videos, you will come to agree with me."

Comment & Question: Have I Seen A Sasquatch?

Here's a comment and question, posted today, made on a previous post. I just thought I'd post it since I gave my usual, long winded answer. Please feel free to write comments at the bottom of any of the blogs, or write me directly at stbigfoot@gmail.com.

"Just wanted to comment that this is a really great blog. I also like that you follow Cliff Barackman, me and a few other Squatchers I know follow Mr. Barackman too. He also keeps a really great blog, wish he would post more often - always learn something new. Have you personally seen a sasquatch? Keep up the great posts!"


Thank you! I appreciate the comments! Glad to hear when anyone reads, and enjoys the blog.

I forgot exactly how I found Cliff's blog, I think I was just surfing the net, maybe a google search. But I probably spent several hours just going back through his posts and reading all I could take in. Good stuff! I had, and still have, another blog, related to my work, fxtradepros.com. So, with my heavy interest in Sasquatch, I thought blogging about something I really enjoy, would be a fun excursion from the serious stuff, and if you look at my other blog, I've fallen behind posting there because I've become addicted to the Bigfoot stuff! So, I started the Bigfoot Blog. I agree. I impatiently wait for Cliff to post new stuff. I spend a lot of time bouncing between him and Autumn Williams blog, waiting for them to post new stuff!

As for my Sasquatch experience? No sightings. I only had, what I think were a few "experiences," that now I look back on, with the Squatch knowledge I now have, and think maybe I've been close to a Squatch or two. I wrote about it when I first started the blog. Here's the link: http://sierratahoebigfoot.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-mckenzie-river-experience-oregon.html

Besides the McKenzie River, I also had similar experiences, out near the Oregon Coast in 1994. It was up at a place called Table Mountain. It was quite the drive up a dirt logging road, just off the Alsea River, near the town of Alsea. I was scouting a mining property up there. I made regular trips, alone up there. It was old growth forest, bordered by some GP clear cut areas. Never thought of Bigfoot back then, but always felt like I was being watched. On my trips up there, I did see plenty of deer, and a bobcat. There was a source of water up there too. A small spring that formed a trickle of a stream that percolated up out of the ground. It was picture perfect Squatch country. Quite a beautiful place, until you see the clear cuts.

I haven't seen a Bigfoot, but I know they exist. Too many credible witnesses, and quality footprint casts, backed with the opinions of experts, like Dr. Meldrum, makes it pretty clear to me. I've made the point before that, "I have been a scuba diver for 27 years, and I've never seen a Great White, but I know the exist."

Thanks again for the comments! I really appreciate them!
