I love the Wikipedia…
Among my many and varied interests is the study of cryptids, that is, the study of a creature “whose existence has been suggested but lacks scientific support”… Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Michigan Dog Man, Mothman, the Loch Ness monster, that sort of stuff…
During the slow hours in the CP, I’ll hit the Wikipedia and see what other folks have come up with in regards to regional critters that have been seen, but not identified, and the legends that are created in their wakes…
One of my dreams is to hike through the Olympic Range, looking for the hundreds of airplanes that have gone down in the region, and see if I can score a Bigfoot sighting!
Anybody have a favorite critter that they’ve seen, thought they’ve seen, or would like to explore?

Dude,
Where’d you get the ACU back ground? I think it’d go well with my new pack and vest.

LOL at Mothman… but ya, it is nice having a quick, easy reference on some matters though I’d double check my sources most times.

After a long day of fieldwork, over the campfire and well into the six-pack, we archaeologists in the Mojave Desert tell tall tales of “Yucca Man,” Bigfoot’s ne’er-do-well cousin, who masquerades as a Joshua tree and only moves when the wind blows.
(And if you’ve ever been in the Mojave, you know the wind blows pretty much all the time.)
Sorry, you can’t seek him because we made him up, but maybe if you believe hard enough … it’ll be kinda like Santa.
