Dru Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 Not quite the stature of Warren harding but a true PNW character. We can only be glad he didnt succeed and that Capt. Caveman is still with us. http://www.sltrib.com/03052002/utah/716617.htm Quote
texplorer Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 I saw the post heading and thought this was going to be a thread about Fred Beckey farting or something cool like that. What a dissappointment. Quote
Alex Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 "Over the years, Grover Krantz would sometimes climb into his car at night and go for long, lonely rides into the woods of the Pacific Northwest. Creeping along the back roads at 25 mph with a rifle and spotlight at his side, he desperately hoped his elusive quarry, a Sasquatch, would show itself. " or a deer, sounds like he was jacklighting!

Yeah, but deer aren't cryptozoologic! I think Ted Nugent should take up Sasquatch hunting, coons obviously aren't challenging enough for him. Quote

jhamaker Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 As a former Coug at WSU, I always found that Grover Krantz added some much needed flavor to the "College of the Wheat-fields." One side benefit to having Grover at WSU was that he hired a bigfoot tracker from whom I was able to learn primative survival skills. WSU is definately poorer for the loss of Grover Krantz. Quote
Dru Posted March 6, 2002 Author Posted March 6, 2002 Bigfoot tracking would be a dream job for climber types. "Lets go climb that peak and see if we see any sasquatch tracks up that glacier". Going by responses to that thread last week on unusual events I think climbers make good sasquatch finders. Quote
CleeshterFeeshter Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 Finally a topic close to my heart. Dru, I think you hit it on the head. My time up in the rain revealed that only some climbers,backpackers and loggers believed in Sasquatch. In Pyle's "in Search of Bigfoot" ( a PNW naturalist writer in the genre of Abby's "Desert Solitaire") he wrote of the mystical need for Sasquatch. Without Sasquatch, the "idea" of wilderness is dead. The hard core non-believers (ie, the city dwellers)are also spiritually dead. The possibility that Sasquatch exists makes the world a wonderful place. I kept my eyes open and camcorder going whilst on the Ptarmigan Traverse a fews years back and was able to get a grizzly and mountain lion on video. Someone will hit the jackpot one of these years by either shooting, running over, or filming the creature. It may likely be a climber. Quote
willstrickland Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Damn, that guy spent all that time looking when he could have just called up Spielberg and Lucas. Everyone knows that 'ol Sasquatch played Chewbacca. Guy was spotlighting deer when he shoulda been hangin on the Millenium Falcon with Han and Leah... Quote

Sasquatch crush 6 Million Dollar Man and turn on Farrah's major faucets! Quote

Ursa_Eagle Posted June 18, 2003 Posted June 18, 2003 John Kirk, president of the B.C. Scientific Cryptozoology Club, says the footprints in Joe's berry patch are "a hoax or it's the real thing." well that narrows it down! Quote
