Why no one has seen Sasquatch

[Idaho]

A couple of years ago several of us with the local fly fishing club worked with Trout Unlimited and the US Forest Service to complete some stream work and catch and tag post spawn Bonneville Cutthroat Trout in the Thomas Fork of the Bear River on the Idaho-Wyoming border. It is mountainous terrain with lots of pine trees and sagebrush in the lower elevations. We were camped in a USFS campground just inside Wyoming in the pine forest. One of our members is an avid believer in the Sasquatch story and dearly hopes that one is found soon. That same week that we were sitting in the wilds of Wyoming there was a Sasquatch rendezvous of sorts in Pocatello at Idaho State University so it became one of our favorite topics around the campfire. One evening after we had enjoyed a great meal that included steak and all the trimmings including dutch oven blueberry cobbler we started talking about Sasquatch, again while we continued to consume copious amounts of adult beverages. We speculated about where they might live, perhaps even in the mountains around where we were camped, and where one might finally be found. We started wondering why none had ever been found, alive or dead. This brought a temporary lull in the conversation as we all sat back to listen to the crackling fire and watch the stars shining through the trees around us. Just then a jet went over us thousands of feet up and it all came together.

Sasquatch travel at night and they move between mountain ridges by .................................................. .....hang gliding. Yep, that's it. Hey, ever wonder why all those awnings come up missing in campgrounds? They steal 'em and make the gliders!

Oh, we are all sure that the adult beverages had nothing to do with this new truth in the search for Sasquatch.

Remember, if you can think it, it must be true.
