We also dedicate countless hours to planning and leading expeditions in the field—and our June expedition marked the ninth trip of 2025. This was the second expedition co-led by myself, Alan, and our good friend and fellow researcher, Scott Taylor. Why Gifford Pinchot?

It marked our eighth adventure of the year, and while there wasn’t any unusual activity this time, it brought back vivid memories of a much more eventful trip last summer. A Glimpse I’ll Never Forget It was during a summer expedition in 2024, at a site we call “Rock Camp,” that I experienced something I’ll never forget.

We drove up on Thursday to get settled, and Shane helped us find a good spot to park the 5th wheel. I also got to see our friend Larry, who I hadn’t seen in over a year—and a big hug from Larry is always the best! We hung out at the cabin for a bit and called it a night early. It was a long drive, the rain was steady, and we were tired.

I landed at the Cincinnati Airport, rented a car, and made the drive to the event. The only people I knew attending were Shelly and Amy Bue, and at the time, Amy wasn’t even sure if she'd be able to make it.

For Alan’s birthday, I gifted him a used thermal drone from our friend Damon—a perfect excuse to plan a getaway that blended learning, leisure, and reconnecting.

Eventually, she invited Alan and me to visit the area ourselves.

It was the location where two individuals from Portland, known for their interest in Bigfoot research, went missing on Christmas Eve and were later found deceased. Based on available reports, the pair had hiked approximately a mile up a drainage before turning south, crossing a swollen, waist-deep creek, and continuing uphill.
