BIGFOOT TRAPPED BY NORCAL FANATIC!

Another step. My sea legs firm up a little more.

“There isn’t a shred of evidence that primate evolution has ever occurred on the North American continent. None. The fossil record is silent.”

I take a few more steps, but the knocks and rocks pick up.

So I sink the dagger in the heart: “The Patterson-Gimlin Film is bullshit! It’s totally a guy in a suit — and a bad one at that. Some guy even admitted to it, and a whole book was published on it.”

I’m hiking back uphill and toward my truck with an almost normal gait now, and though I’m breathing heavily and can hear rocks striking the ground, they are landing a ways behind me. The knocking continues, but it, too is gradually receding into the background fog.

“It was just woodpeckers, anyway” I argue, as my truck comes into view through the fog — but I call ‘bullshit’ almost as quickly.

I know what a woodpecker sounds like, and these were no woodpeckers.

Besides, woodpeckers don’t throw rocks. I know: I looked it up on Wikipedia.
