I couldnt sleep last night....cause I was mad that I could not listen to the show with Bear on it. Or Dixie Banshee......me and Bear go way back.........and I have to tell you a little bit about Bear and some of the other people that I have known. My name is Cindy, and I used to live in Dallas, Tx...or outside....actually in a town called Terrell, out in the country. Where I lived which was close to Lake Tawakoni had some bigfoot activity. Years ago in 1999 I got started doing research. I did not know one thing......about bigfoot..............in walks Luke Gross......or better known as Gigantotejano..........now my husband was not about to let me go tramping off in the woods with a guy so he pretty much took a liking to Luke right away. Luke taught me the ways of the woods....lol.....he showed me animal tracks, and different types of trees, and then he showed me the twists, and we even went out on expeditions in the early days of the Texas Bigfoot Research, when it was in the days of its youth. So, Luke deserves a great big stand up award and thank you from me and the bottom of my heart for teaching me all these things. I was able to meet up with a group of individuals that locked my heart into research, and these folks became like family to me. We were so close that we actually fought like brothers and sisters...looking back now the things that we would get mad over was pretty funny. My heart goes to out Bear or DixieBanshee....Catamount, or better known to me as Coonbo......Fireflies....Laurie, and Kelly or better known as Kedema, and Shasta, Matt or better known as Bigfoot Crossroads, Chad, or better known as Ghost Wolf, and Dan.....and sorry dan, but I dont know your handle on here...lol.......Crystal, and a handful of other folks. We went out on a ton of outings....and I even went out pregnant....I remember sleeping in Oklahoma and east texas between stints....I couldnt stay awake. I was lucky enough to meet these folks and have some memorable times and learn so much.
Bear and Coonbo taught me how to make calls....lol.......and all the chicks taught me how to have lasting relationships. Fireflies, your perception is so sharp, it amazes me. Everything you notice down to the small details........you have always had me in awe of your sharp abilities. And of course, all the times you had us over to your house in east texas was a memorable experience. Sandra...the peacemaker....lol.........you always had me laughing before I could blow up completely.............all those times you had an answer when everybody was ruffled up and didnt agree on something....lol...and to Kelly, my best friend in Dallas.....I sure do miss you. And to Chad, and Matt, you guys have a special place in my heart...........special to the end. Dan and Coonbo........you have taught me so much with your stories and Coonbo with your teaching me how to make calls.....you always said thank you everytime I made a burned burrito.....and you ate it.....you never once complained.
Bear....all the times you escorted me and Kelly to the bathroom....lol.......I dont know why we wuz so scared to go around the corner in the woods......
I still laugh at some of the things we used to talk about and some of the things we discovered along the way. Remember the teepees we found in east texas.......that was amazing. Remember when we peed everywhere on the trees to see what would happen.......lol.......lord....some of the experiences we have had I miss.....but life takes us to other places and if we can take that magic carpet with us and remember our experiences, then we can always treasure them. Its amazing how true friends always come together..........I still can not believe I have had the opportnity to talk to people in Montana, Idaho, Texas Oklahoma, and how can I forget Mississippi.....the bigfoot in Missippi are definitely redneck....lol...they want their coyote and they want it now....lol......I will never forget the recording of the bigfoot Trex...........I wasnt able to make that outing....I was so preggers......you begged me not to come....lol....you guys didint want me to go into labor while I was at your p lace.....lol.......
Justin my little heathin dark mexican boy....is such a joy............do you know he stands at the end of my drive and makes calls........."im cawing in the bigfoot"......he says......and john my oldest..........so much like his dad......he wants to get his hands ona bigfoot and send it to be labeled and discovered.....lol...........
Thanks guys for the memories.............its storming here and Im going to go close the windows......
I hope I can go back and listen to the show that I missed......but I was wondering......Shasta...you rekon Dixie said anything like ya'llz......or "let me tell yus about my chirrens"............lol......I picked up some real southern habits while I was hanging out with you guys....I'm prob the only redneck mexican hispanic latina whatever you want to call me round these parts......ya rekon..........

Cindy I enjoyed this post. Many of us do go a ways back and the memories are many. There is a connectedness we all share that has weathered many storms. Each and everyone of you has a special place in my heart. We all met at different points in time with a common goal of chasing after a creature of mystery and legend. It was exciting and adventurous. I have always said from the very beginning though that it wasn't about the creature for me, it was the people.....I loved them. Watching all those faces laughing and talking around the campfire, the deep bonds of friendships that were growing was more important to me than anything else......it still is. We grew beyond just mere friendship, without us really realising it somewhere along the line we became family.
I know some may wonder why I am here in light of many things. I would just like to say.....when God tears down your wall that you have carefully built up do you try and rebuild that wall? It was time for me to leave my gift at the altar and go and find my brother and make things right between us. Forgiveness isn't just for the person being forgiven...it is for our own good also. With that being said, I have been more at peace with myself and with each well remembered and loved face that has showed up here a deep realization of just how much you all have meant and do mean to me. You are my family, space and time cannot ever change that. The bonds go way too deep.
