I have recently returned from a long trip to utah. I left on a Wedns,,,July 14 or something like that and left Blanchard, Idaho and took I90 to 15 in Butte, Montana and down through Montana and Idaho again and then finally Utah. It took me 14 hours with just me and the two boys and we stopped of course. But on the return trip home, I noticed something. It was beautiful.....evening,,,and I was on I90 my favorite part of stretch of land that I just loved. From Coeur d'lene I90 twists and turn over two or three passes....the 4th of July pass, and the Mullan pass. That goes for about an hour and a half....you go through towns of Mullan, Cataldo, Silverton. Thse are small mountain towns. But the elevation is higher and it changes so prettily. I pulled off a part of the road called Gold Creek. Gold was found there in the earlier days...it was a historical sighting. This place gave me the creeps........there was only one other place that gave me the creeps like that and it was East Texas. Like I said, the river or creek ran right by the side of the road.....and it was beautiful........definitely grizzly country. My kids did not want to stay and we left. I believe in intuition and being in North Texas never really made me that nervous. East Texas did. Not all parts.......there was one...I cant remember the name of the place but it was an old abandoned building from the earlier days....of trading....but a lot of us were there and got that sick feeling in the pit of our stomachs of evil from days gone by. I remember another fellow researcher who was particulary sensitive to such situations was so ill she had to get out of there. Oklahoma, Kiamichi mountains, Honobia..........I never felt scared there. From the 90s we would go camping there with out horses and with other people and went horseback riding...we also went alone, my husband and family and we went riding but I never felt scared or anything. My husband had a personal sighting there but he does not like to talk about it...he said to leave them alone. Now at Bear's house...I felt kind of scared there....I dont know why. Maybe Bear can tell you more about that. I was there only once for a couple of days but there was a couple of us researchers there from the early days and we had some neat encounters and that is where the Trex scream was recorded with many other witnesses.......
Oklahoma, another area......by the Red River is the worst. The history of this place with a cemetary in the area is just beyond words of terror that I can describe to you. I believe you go looking for evil, your gonna find it. Three times I have been there with groups researching there, and each time was not good. I wanted out. The only time I felt remotely safe was when we were there with Bear and some of the other gang.....but that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach was there and it was broad daylight.
Now to where I live. People dont see bigfoot up here as something to research. They see bigfoot as something spiritual and old. The white people at least the old timers that have lived here understand and have a respect and agree with the indians of the local tribes about the history. I live in Blanchard, inthe Hoodoo Mountain range, in Spirit Valley. I've been up those mountains and I've made calls.....I believe after my one unique experience in 2004 that they know my voice. Some people believe this is hogwash. I dont. They know I dont mean them any harm and am just curious.....dont ask me how I know. I almost feel like I have lived here all my life.....dont ask my why. Maybe because its my Indian background. I may be hispanic, but I am mainly Mayan Indian blood from my dad's side of the family. In a way we all unite...it doesnt matter what tribe you are from. But, the people here at the reservations talk to me and dont judge me in any way. Bigfoot is a big part of tribes beliefs. I am going to do research on that if I can someday and find out if there is a difference in what certain tribes believe as far as bigfoot goes. That would be fun to discover.
In the meantime.......I am not out to prove anything...that was left at the door a long time ago. I have matured since then. Some people are so passionate about this subject that I just shut my mouth and respect whatever they beleive in. This is some people's full time hobby and I respect that. I'm satisfied to know that I was able to learn what I have so far and felt privileged to be a part of it. Going back to I90.......I would love to stop in Mullan, and hike around the place, but that feeling in the pit of my stomach came so I dont think that I would ever do it alone...........

| Thank you so much for sharing this. I know what you are talking about. Its something hard to describe these feelings. They have to be lived to understand them completely.

Cindy ma'am, I can see how much you have matured just by reading this post. It made me envious of the location you are at. I have never beat no bones about my life-long dream of viewing/living in those Mountains. When folks speak of there being no God, I automatically point out the majesty of the Rocky Mountains and the unbridled wildness presented. I think it is one of the few places left in the US that one can view with the thought that no white would ever exist there. Yeah, I know I'm fooling myself, but it does not hurt to dream of the days gone by when just viewing them represented freedom in its highest form.
Thanks for sharing this post.
Bear

Thanks, Shane
