Bigfoot Tree Updates: Are They Really Just Cold Feet & Old Info? | Lori Simmons Controversy

The Lori Simmons Bigfoot Tree Going Out On A Limb

If you’re a believer in the Lori Simmons Bigfoot Tree and don’t feel like going out on a limb, you’re gonna love this podcast and video.

The Set Up

For the second time, we were invited by Michael Wallace, brother of actress, author and Bigfoot Tree Prognosticator Lori Simmons.

For the second time as well, Encounters USA was played for a sucker as Michael Wallace pulled his old Viagra act as he stiffed us for the second time.

Fool Me Once

As they say fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Of course it’s a lot easier as you will see, to write it than to say it as you will see on the video and hear on the podcast.

Either way you look at it, I had traveled a long way into the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. I was not the only victim in another Bigfoot Tree charade.

Brent Dill had also traveled about half the distance I had, only to find out Michael Wallace had made like a car in reverse and backed out.

The Show Must Go On

Once I realized Michael wasn’t going to show. I made a decision to visit the Bigfoot Tree with or without Michael.

Since I didn’t have Michael to advocate for the Bigfoot Tree and Brent Dill to tell him he was full of crap, I was not going to go up to the tree to do a second run over the same material with Brent.

I made the decision to tell Brent I was going back to Seattle. I was going to the Bigfoot Tree alone.

The Search

As you will see in the video and hear in the podcast, I had two problems starting out. One was the amount of time I had wasted waiting for Michael and Brent.

The second problem was I wasn’t sure if I remembered how to get to the Bigfoot Tree. I was going to have to rely on my memory and my wits.

Lost in Space

About an hour later I realized I had a faulty memory when it came to the Bigfoot Tree. It had been a few years. Now it was a few miles of driving around before I realized it was hopeless.

I was going to have to call in outside help.

Syvella Kalil Saves The Day

I had one ace in the hole I was going to have to play. I had asked Syvella Kalil to join Michael Brent and I in our trip to the tree. Unfortunately, for Syvella she was working at the food bank

Fortunately for me, I found the food bank and Syvella on the way through town.

Selective Directions

Syvella Kalil gave me outstanding directions. Unfortunately I didn’t hear the first instruction. The result of my selective hearing was another wasted twenty miles of driving and at least a half hour more wasted.

Encounters USA Arrives

Regardless of all the setbacks, Encounters USA arrived in great style with the help of God, Syvella’s directions and my faithful Paranormal Pickup.

Once we got close to the tree it was time to switch mode of transport from truck to boots. I parked, packed and plodded my way down the trail to the Bigfoot Tree.

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.

Encounters USA hopes you will join us for one of the most amazing YouTube videos and blogs you’re ever gonna see.

Bigfoot Tree Updates Are They Really Just Cold Feet & Old Info?

Are you waiting for Bigfoot Tree Updates and are you thinking they’re really just cold feet & old info?

A brief disclaimer about the Bigfoot Tree and the Wallace family

Since the moment I heard about this story, I have been fascinated by the story of the Lori Simmons Bigfoot Tree.

I have been to the Bigfoot Tree where I conducted an interview with Researcher Brent Dill. We sat with our backs to the tree and listened to the sounds of two trees, grown together.

The trees were making rubbing noises as the wind sifted through its branches.

That was not the end of the story for me. According to Brent Dill, Don Wallace, Lori & Michael’s father had extensive interactions with various Sasquatch in that area.

Bigfoot Tree Updates Are They Really Just Cold Feet & Old Info — Return to the Bigfoot Tree? Unless There’s New Info What’s The Need?

Everyone Has The Right To Be Heard on Encounters USA

In the world of the paranormal, we are all looking for clues to solve the grandest puzzle of all. Encounters USA believes everyone has the right to be heard, unless they are proven false.

Or they don’t show up for a podcast…

The Bigfoot Tree is just one example of how some people, completely discount evidence because they don’t agree with the presenter.

As we will see the division over the debate still smolders like a campfire made of old hickory and diesel oil.

The Lori Simmons Bigfoot Tree

If you don’t know what the Lori Simmons Bigfoot Tree is, you soon will. If you do know what the Lori Simmons Bigfoot tree is, you are well aware of the controversy surrounding it.

In my opinion, the Bigfoot Tree as I will heretofore refer to it, is the most divisive issue in the history of the Bigfoot community. Outside of whether or not the creature exists.

What the Bigfoot Tree Answers

Like the Bigfoot Tree The Topic Rubs People The Wrong Way

The people searching, researching and encountering Bigfoot have as many differences in opinion as to what the creature is as there are people.

The fact that not one single specimen has not been found doesn’t help. The Bigfoot Tree may help in providing an explanation to that and other Bigfoot brain teasers.

The Sasquatch Live & Die Underground

If the Bigfoot Tree is for real the question of why a dead Sasquatch has never been found, if one has never been found has an answer.

The Sasquatch live and they die underground.

Of course that statement would immediately infer that a Sasquatch never dies by accident or otherwise, above ground.

Other Mysteries Solved

Obviously, if there is a Bigfoot living under the Bigfoot Tree making noises everytime Lori is around, we also know other things.

For example, we know why we don’t see them that often. They are underground and only come out at night.

Also, the Bigfoot Tree explains why Sasquatch seems to appear and disappear. They move quickly underground when spotted.

Bigfoot Tree Updates Are They Really Just Cold Feet & Old Info?

Now that we have looked at the issues surrounding Lori Simmons, Michael Wallace & the Bigfoot Tree, watch the video or listen to the podcast. We will examine each video and let you come up with your own conclusion.

That’s the Encounters USA Way.

Then let us know what you think.

Until next time,

Watch Your Back!

Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival William Bisson & Amy Bue With the Big Scoop on Bigfoot

Today on Encounters USA Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival, Bigfoot Hunter Stephen Major’s movie debut Sullivan Creek Sasquatch. We will also talk about the new Bigfoot documentary from Animal Photographer Jason Kenzie.

In addition, we’ll have updates on Speakers at the Metaline Bigfoot Festival, a short announcement concerning Encounters USA and Stephen Major’s Extreme Expeditions Northwest.

So, it’s gonna be a great show. Please stay tuned.

Technical Problems

The show you are about watch or listen to on podcast has one major flaw.

It’s missing the second half of the Encounters USA interview with Amy Bue and Bill Bisson, the organizer of the event.

Due to the fact that Amy wasn’t available for the second interview, even though I never told him what happened, I haven’t been able to nail down Bill for the second interview.

Metaline Falls Updates

Thanks to the information passed along by organizer Bill Bisson in the first interview, I’ll

give an updated speaker list to get everyone excited about the Festival.

Of course, I don’t have the entire list, but I do know that Dr. Robert Alley is going to be there to talk about his research on Alaska Sasquatch.

Similarly, Larry “Beans” Baxter is going to be talking about his book Abandoned.

Of course, if you’ve seen the interview or listened to the podcast with Beans, you’re gonna know about Port Chatham and the Hairy Man.

My old friend Thom Cantrall will be speaking at the festival about his latest book Sasquatch Face to Face.

Amy Bue is also going to be discussing her research at the festival with a presentation on her latest activities.

For sure, we’re all expecting to hear about Amy’s experiences in the latest Stephen Major motion picture, Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest.

There will be a total of twelve speakers in all and two movie debuts in the historic Metaline Falls Theater

I think the biggest thrill for everyone is going to be seeing Bob Gimlin at the festival.

Bob is scheduled to speak at the event. We are all looking forward to hearing what words of encouragement he’s going to have for those who are continuing the search.

If you had seen the last half of the podcast, the one that wasn’t recorded, that’s what you would have seen.

Of course there were the usual funny exchanges about the speakers at the festival, who killed JFK and the answer to the meaning of life, but as I said, I forgot to press record.

Now that we have all of the big news about the festival, here is some insider news you won’t know unless you are an Encounters USA fan.

Most people know about my interviews with former law enforcement official Rich Germeau. One of those interviews was done at Lake Cushman, on the Hood Canal. Where Rish showed me a site of Bigfoot activity.

Some months ago, the gentleman who owned that property contacted me. What he had to say was even more interesting than Rich’s interactions.

A number of Sasquatch interacted with the owners of the property and their guests at a fire pit I was not allowed to film.

This interaction happened on a number of occasions.

In addition, during the interactions with the Sasquatch clan, there was a flurry of UFO activity above Lake Cushman and above the property.

I cannot wait for the Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival!

Editorial

For my listeners, viewers and readers on Encounters USA I want to make a special announcement that is going to be great news for everyone.

As you know, Encounters USA is a podcast in search of the paranormal.

It is, was and always will be the policy of Encounters USA to support authors and film makers who are spending their timed and resources in the search for the truth to some of life’s greatest questions.

Of course, the greatest question of all, Why are we here, is tied up or hidden in a number of other mysteries, all with the same answer. Someone is scared you will find out what’s really going on.

That is why Encounters USA supports those who wish to bring us the truth.

Two years ago, we established a cooperative relationship with the UFO iTeam. I was able to accompany them on two successful research projects. I was also able to see their fabulous work at ECETI Ranch.

Oh No! Yoko

Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival William Bisson & Amy Bue With the Big Scoop on Bigfoot

Much like the Beatles, internal politics unfortunately broke up the iTeam. A mere shell of its former self, it now relegates its time to Facebook Live Feeds and a Crochet by the Numbers YouTube channel.

A few weeks ago, I met a man not unlike Judge Michael Hall of the UFO iTeam.

Stephen Major was a man with a plan and that plan is to find Bigfoot no matter who has to step on or run over to do it.

Stephen told me he liked what I was doing with Encounters USA. He asked me if I would be interested in working with him.

I told him sure anything, as long as I can get an interview.

He didn’t agree to the interview, instead, he kept going on about what was wrong with my show.

Of course, we do understand there has to be some kind of litmus test as to who we interview and support.

Up until now, that test was limited to visible breath on a mirror and a pulse.

Brutal Honesty

I wasn’t aware of that until Stephen thankfully pointed it out.

Besides making me work as hard as possible and say anything necessary in order to get an interview, Stephen continued to explain what he didn’t like about me or my show.

As it turns out, much like the now nearly defunct UFO iTeam, Stephen wanted me and to join forces with his Extreme Expeditions people just like the UFO iTeam!

Of course it is a great honor to me personally to be asked to join with Extreme Expeditions.

As I stated in my first blog about Stephen, I have a lot of respect for anyone with a vision to achieve a goal like finding definitive proof of Sasquatch.

I also have a lot of respect for anyone who stops talking and does something about their goals and their own quest for the truth.

So, from now on, Encounters USA will be teaming up with the Extreme Expeditions Team.

Indeed, I’ll be accompanying Stephen on his expeditions, taking my own videos, doing my own stories and following the search for Encounters USA with Extreme Expeditions.

No Softballs Here

A better way to understand our new partnership is this. You wouldn’t go to a softball tournament to see a football game. That’s why I picked Stephen Major long before he picked me. The game is on and you’re gonna have front row seats.

So now, thank you for reading.

Let’s check out the podcast and the YouTube channel. We’ll see what Bill Bisson and Amy Bue have to say about the Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival.

If you’re hunting for Bigfoot, you may want to listen to Extreme Film Maker Jason Kenzie talk about his latest documentary.

Jason Kenzie grew up in the small town of Chilliwack, Canada.

We can also hope it isn’t the town past time in winter.

Let Me Out Of Here, Eh?

Of course, the effects of growing up in a town so named, and in Canada no less, can be readily seen in Jason Kenzie.

Jason is man ready to brave the wildest and most exotic animals just to get out of Chilliwack, British Columbia.

From Big Snakes To Bigfoot

Indeed, we are going to discover how Jason’s career as a photographer, led him around the world, filming exotic animals with wealthy owners.

Jason’s interest in the paranormal and the legend of Sasquatch, as well as the stories of the First Nations peoples sparked an interest.

From Photograph to Video

A quick glance at aphotowarrior Jason’s YouTube channel will reveal how Jason uses video and color.

His videos feature a number of different animals in crisp colors and high definition that look out of this world.

Paranormal Documentaries

Jason’s first documentary A Bigfoot Documentary: Searching For Sasquatch can be seen by clicking the link at the end of this article.

Jason centers the documentary on tales of actual encounters with First Nations and Canadians. Jason follows their stories into the back country.

Impressions and Ideas of Bigfoot

Finally, during the interview, we are going to find some interesting insights into an amazing photographer and a brave individual.

What do you expect a world famous photographer to say about Bigfoot? Did Jason’s attitudes agree with your own? What do you think is healthy skepticism?
