Megapods in the news

We also have them on the East Coast - Central New Hampshire/Vermont is quite the hot-spot. The Pacific Northwest is their primal stomping grounds though...

From The Bellingham Herald:

Sasquatch could be lurking in Snohomish County
They are true believers in a mythical beast.

John Ray, of Marysville, and Rob Parker, of Snohomish, have spent years hunting in the old-growth forests of Snohomish County for evidence of Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch.

They haven't convinced the scientific community, but the "squatchers" say it's only a matter of time.

Parker, 60, is a former policeman and compliance officer for the state Department of Labor & Industries. He now oversees safety for a Bellevue contractor. Ray, 49, works as a procurement agent and contract administrator for a "large airplane manufacturer," but he didn't want to say which.

Some more:

Ray started actively hunting the creatures following a BFRO expedition in 2008. A large, dark figure emerged on a ridge near his campsite, he said. "I saw these two huge, glowing red eyes," he said. "They were the size of 50 cent pieces, nine feet off the ground."

The beast looked right at him.

"I just stood there with my mouth wide open," Ray said. "I never expected that would happen. I'm a logical person."

That's when a hobby turned into something more. He was hooked. "You get this thrill of seeing something that doesn't exist," he said.
