Final Report by Jeff
Lemley, BFRO-WA
The BFRO is running
their first large-scale expedition throughout the summer of 2000,
in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, located in the Cascade Mountains
of South Central Washington. The first phase of this operation took
place on May 19-21. Several more phases will take place during the
summer and fall of this year.
BFRO volunteers, led by Jeff Lemley, concentrated their efforts
along the Lewis River Drainage, in the area known as the Dark Divide.
The weather was very cooperative for the weekend, with mostly clear
skies and temperatures reaching the low 70's. We also reaped the
luminescent benefits of a nearly full moon for both nights.
The purpose of these
expedition is to try and obtain new recordings of sasquatch vocalizations
that are being reported in the area. Several teams of volunteer
researchers spread out over 200 square miles of national forest,
remaining in contact via CB radios. Once the teams are in place,
we try to provoke sasquatch vocalizations by broadcasting prior
recordings of vocalizations at very high volumes. The amplified
sounds can cover upwards of 75 square miles in the right conditions.
In the event that
one or several of the teams reports vocal replies in their area,
we then try to reposition other teams with recording equipment.
Special
thanks go out to the BFRO's John Freitas, who originally came up
with this program and has been a great help to others who pursue
this form of research.
