Washington_Oregon_Jul_08

Before ending out multi state expedition, we had to bring our cinematographer, Brian Mazzola, back home to Portland Oregon. We decided to simply drive a little farther first, and visit some of Tom Biscardi's old friends. Friends that the rest of our team were very excited to meet! We overshot Oregon and headed up towards Yakama Washington. Where we went to meet with Bob Heironimus, the man who claims to have worn a suit for Roger Patterson, and Bob Gimlin, the man who helped film the famous Patterson / Gimlin film of the late '60's.

This piece of film is clearly the most famous and controversial piece of evidence ever produced. The entire team was very excited to meet these people and listen to them tell their stories.

We drove through Oregon and got to see some of the most beautiful country the North West has to offer. Our first stop was in Portland where we picked Tom Biscardi up at the airport. Tom had been off in the San Francisco Bay Area negotiating with some other business people concerning business matters for Searching for Bigfoot Inc.
We were all glad to see him and excited about getting up to Washington to meet some of his friends. We drove straight on up to Yakama to meet with the first of these exciting people!

Just a little taste of the beautiful scenery we got to see !

Our first stop was at the home of Bob Heironimus. There we met Bob and his lovely wife, who welcomed us openly. They opened their home to us and even brought us around to meet some of the rest of their family. They brought Bob's elderly mother over to meet us and even brought us over to a shop that Bob and his brother share. The two brothers have a hobby of restoring and showing older Chevrolet cars. Here are a couple of their award winning autos:

We were thrilled to get to talk to Bob and meet his family. He made us feel very welcome and was a great host! They even baked and served us some home made brownies... (That were "to die for" !!!) Here is Bob and the team in his garage.. notice all the trophies on the wall!

We headed back towards Bob Heironimus' street to meet with Bob Gimlin. Bob Gimlin, as it turned out, lives only nine houses down the street from Bob Heironimus and only a few blocks from the Patterson home. We had called the Gimlin home the day earlier to let them know we were coming. We were told that Bob was out on the coast dealing with some horses and he should be there today, so we were anxious to meet with him. Unfortunately, he was still not home when we got there. Tom left him his business card and we stopped back in with Bob Heironimus to say our good byes.

Tom invited the Mr. and Mrs. Heironimus to meet us for dinner at a local restaurant where we planned on meeting Ken and Terri Stewart. Ken and Terri are the people who are offing those exciting expeditions to search for this elusive creature.
After dinner, the team got a motel room and rested for the rest of our trip. Ken and Terri got a room at the same motel and we shared a few more stories and had more opportunity to develop a friendship with them.

Ken and Terri Stewart are fascinating people! They are truly international adventures. They have guided fishing tours around the world, they surf all around the globe... they have been affiliated with major snow board events and much much more! They have always been fascinated with "Bigfoot" and are currently offering an exciting and affordable tour for people who want to get out and attempt to search for this elusive creature with them! They have taken most of the rough edges off the experience by offing comfortable sleeping and eating arrangements on this expedition and guided foray into the wilderness!

We had already made arrangements to meet with more people in Oregon early the next day, so we had to leave Washington. We drove south again while reflecting on the people we had met and the stories that they shared. The team was quite while on the road. All of us mulling over all we had heard and learned on this short but informative trip.
Oregon came upon us quickly and we got back to work again. Once there, we met with some people that had been on our radio show. The BIGFOOT LIVE RADIO SHOW http://www.bigfootlivesradioshow.com

Once back in Portland, we met with Shawn Jones and Jason Moore. Shawn is a former police officer and Shawn is a business manager for a Portland billiards house. The two men shared their stories of local encounters as they had done on our radio show. Once we had the opportunity to meet these men eye to eye, it became obvious as to just how credible they were. We listened intently and got to know these gentlemen a little better.

We were glad we took the time to get to know Shawn and Jason and made plans to work with them in the near future.

Here is Jason, Tom, and Shawn in Portland Oregon

We dropped Brian off at his home and said our good byes. I (Java_Bob), have a favorite niece who lives right over the bridge from Portland, in Vancouver Washington, but we had been on the road now for over five weeks and the team was too tired to even stop by and say hello. If we left now, most of us could be home by 2am the next day and others could be boarding their flights home from San Francisco. We agreed it was time to head back, so we loaded the truck and headed south towards home and our families!

{My apologies to Yvonne and her family, and I hope you understand... I love you!}
