Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle An Insider Look Behind The Scenes

Filming Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle in the Cascade Mountains was not as easy as it looks.

Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle An Insider Look Behind The Scenes Starts with a simple statement that applies to most of my film making ventures. A lot of things went wrong during the filming of the movie. So much so I didn’t think I had a movie to begin with. When I saw what I had captured in editing, I was thankful a lot more went right on camera, than went wrong during pretty much everything else.

A Lot More Than Meets The Eye – A Spine Tingling Sensation

Just like the hot, dry dust on the mountain roads around Chewelah, there is a lot more that meets the eye in Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle than can be mentioned in the space of this blog.

One thing that may be apparent to a lot of viewers while watching the movie in the few scenes I appeared on camera, I am stooped over. The cause of my inability to stand, walk, drive or even move without severe back pain was the result of sitting in my truck in Darrington, Washington doing absolutely nothing.

It was then the lower part of my spine felt like it was dissolving. Shooting pain went through my body. I could do nothing but sit there, helpless in line at an espresso stand, hoping the pain would subside enough for me to shift gears and move forward.

Should I Stay, Or Should I Go?

It was then, I had to make a critical decision. I had originally planned to film in June, but since I was running for US Congress at the time, I thought it might be better to wait until after the Primary Election.

That meant I had a window of one or two weeks in August to do my filming and interviews. I decided I had to push on to Chewelah, excruciating pain and all, or not do the documentary this year.

Bruce Trott And KS Brooks – The Plot Thickens

Another behind the scenes tidbit was the slight plot twist that evolved once I entered the editing process. Watching the interviews with Bruce Trott of the Chewelah Bigfoot Research Team and KS Brooks, the local award winning editor and newspaper reporter, I saw two great interviews with one problem.

Bruce Trott And KS Brooks – The Plot Twists

Originally, Bruce Trott was going to be the featured interview of the movie. In fact, it was during the Bruce Trott interviews when he mentioned a reporter I needed to speak with.

Originally, I was not sure what exactly KS Brooks would have to contribute to my Squatchumentary, but, I thought it made add a definite air of credibility to the documentary.

Another Natural Story Teller Adds Mystery To The Mix

When I set up and turned the cameras on, KS Brooks, an author herself, lit up the screen with her lively accounts and experiences, all the while maintaining a level of objectivity.

By that I mean, she was more convincing of there being a Bigfoot in her attempts to be objective and repeatedly say, ”I just don’t know.”

Back To Little John & The Bigfoot Forest.

The experiences at Trott’s Ridge, along with the interviews from Bruce Trott, KS Brooks and Will Titus in Chewelah were enough solid evidence to establish Chewelah as the souther tip of the Chewelah Triangle.

In the last part of the movie, I knew I needed to go to the northern boundaries of the Chewelah Triangle to reestablish my base camp at Mystery Lake and revisit Little John of the Bigfoot Forest to see what his reaction to the blood Igor Burtsev and I found in our tent in Cascade Bigfoot Blood Mystery.

When you watch Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle, you can see what new activity has occurred in the Bigfoot Forest and what it’s like living with Bigfoot.

Cascade Bigfoot Blood Mystery is available on Amazon while Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle is available on your favorite streaming service.

Cascade Bigfoot Blood Mystery From An Insider’s Perspective

How It All Started

Without going into too much detail, I will tell you how I ended up sharing my tent with famous Russian Bigfoot researcher Igor Burtsev.

If it is more detail you desire, you can readily satisfy your curiousity by watching my first ever Squatchumentary: Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival Press Pass. https://youtu.be/F930_8WBCRo

Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival Press Pass

I interviewed Igor for over an hour and a half and published that interview on my YouTube Channel.

The details of our chance second meeting and our subsequent sojourn into the Cascades near the Canadian border can be readily obtained from simply watching Cascade Bigfoot Blood Mystery.

Holding Back?

Is the reader wondering why I don’t just explain the details of our rather surrendipitous meetings?

I would simply reply my humble attempt to do so could scarce address the scope of the odds and chance that led to our shared journey into the unknown to seek answers from the unexplained.

Things You Can’t See In Cascade Bigfoot Blood Mystery

Feeling the Heat

The second and third week of June of 2021 were among the hottest of the Summer in the Eastern Washington Cascades.

Temperatures in Metaline Falls during the 2021 Bigfoot Festival reached the 100’s on one of days I was covering the festival.

Meeting Little John of the Bigfoot Forest

In short, I spent over seven days camping out in the extreme heat while capturing video, doing interviews and trying to stay alive in the intense mountain heat.

Other Chance Meetings

Thanks to Todd Neiss of the North American Primate Conservancy, I was able to meet Little John of the Bigfoot Forest, who would become a key figure in Cascade Bigfoot Blood Mystery and Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle.

Matthew Heines and Todd Neiss at the Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival

In Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle, Little John will add his own experiences that fateful day.

They happened that happened the morning Igor and I found the mystery blood on the floor of our tent. Blood I could not have missed when I got out of bed and left the tent that morning.

From where did the mystery blood come?

In Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle, Little John does his best to come to a rationale explanation. But, does it hold up?

We will also see some of the setbacks we had when it came to testing the blood for DNA.

Cascade Blood Mystery II?

The question on everyone’s mind is – will there be a Cascade Blood Mystery II?

There is only one way that I can answer that question fairly.

You will find the answer at the conclusion of Cascade Bigfoot Chewelah Triangle.

I still owe her the T-shirts.

Slump in Sales Tells the Tales

Of course, at Encounters USA, we have been so busy producing quality videos and podcasts, we were not paying attention to what the public wanted.

That is to say the fact we sold no t-shirts, hoodies or merchandise of any kind meant one thing. We were not offering our listeners, readers, viewers and subscribers a chance to show off their pride.

The Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival A Time For Community

My participation in the Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival began rather surreptitiously one day last April. It was then that I received an inquiry of sorts from Marblemount Bigfoot Festival Organizer, Syvella Khalil.

Syvella was inquiring as to whether or not I had plans to attend the Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival.

Metaline Falls? Where is Metaline Falls?

I had never heard of Metaline Falls. I had heard of Bigfoot however, as Bigfoot is the second element in my aliens, Bigfoot and Dogman podcast.

So, naturally, I said yes.

It was my agreement to attend the festival that opened up a world heretofore unknown to me. I am talking about the world of Eastern Washington Bigfoot.

Before the festival was over I would be exposed to a list of characters and events I would not soon forget.

There were people like festival organizer Bill Bisson, a community leader of the town of Metaline.

I would learn there is a Metaline and a Metaline Falls and that he was running for mayor of the latter.

That however, is another story.

Documentary For 2

When I left for Metaline Falls, it was my intention to film two documentaries.

But I would end up with more, a lot more than just outstanding footage and subjects.

I would find partners for a tour business I have always wanted to start.

Then, I would meet a Russian Bigfoot researcher and watch him turn a ten minute interview into an hour long discussion about everything but Bigfoot.

After that, I would interview all the Bigfoot personalities from Bob Gimlin and Ken Gerhard to Igor Burtsev and Tom Sewid.

All week, I would meet wonderful new friends.

For three days and nights I would camp in one of the most beautiful areas with a swimming/fish pond.

I would learn about betrayal and what it means to “follow the chopper.”

During the festival, a heat wave hit the state. Every day the temperature climbed into the one hundreds.

In spite of it all, the Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival was a huge success.

Bigfoot fans and lovers listened to their favorite speakers and researchers.

Vendors and the local community made record profits.

The actual turnout of the festival exceeded expectations by almost two thousand.

A Time For Community

In the end, I would see what it was for a small community to come together for the sake of keeping their community alive.

It was this spirit that I captured and am turning into a real live squatchumentary in 4K called The Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival A Squatchumentary.

Baker Lake Bigfoot On the Hunt For Soggy Bottom

Encounters USA returned to Baker Lake on the hunt for Soggy Bottom. Baker Lake has been the center of Bigfoot activity for years.

Amphibious Operations

In this Encounters USA video, we are going to conduct amphibious operations to establish a relationship with any known Sasquatch in the area.

Using our Sea Eagle Paddleski with Torqeedo Electric Motor, our intention is to cross the lake to vacant campgrounds at Paradise Cove.

Graham Crackers and Infrared

Once we establish our beachhead, we’ll begin call blasting from the Bigfoot Sounds App.

After we finished call blasting, Encounters USA will move to the wood line. Once there, we will distribute graham crackers.

We will then observe the area using our FLIR ONE IOS App. Our intention is to test the capability of the FLIR tracking a mammal in heavy vegetation.

Encounters USA Goes High Tech

Following the FLIR Exercises we will use our DJI Gimbal in its various modes to familiarize ourselves, our subscribers and our counterparts with what technology we bring to the table.

As you’ll see, the best laid plans are sometimes the next plans after the best laid one doesn’t work. With an ever changing environment at the lake, we had to be flexible.
