7/23/11 - The Search for Sasquatch Rally

Search for Sasquatch Rally

There's things out there in the middle of them woods
That make a strong man die from fright.
Things that crawl and things that fly
And things that creep around on the ground.

But I couldn't believe it.
I just had to find out for myself.
And I couldn't conceive it
'Cause I never would have listened to nobody else.
And I couldn't believe it.
I just had to find out for myself

Legend of Wooley Swamp, Charlie Daniels Band

In March 2011, Thomas Byers claims to have spotted (http://hubpages.com/hub/Big-Foot-Or-Knobby-Is-Alive-And-Well-In-North-Carolina) a “Bigfoot” on Golden Valley Church Road. He also claims to have captured video of Bigfoot crossing the road. This occurred near South Mountains State Park which is one of the most undeveloped state parks in the North Carolina system.

In June 2010, Tim Peeler claims that he was approached by a “Sasquatch-type beast” and had to fend it off with a stick. This occurred in Cleveland County, NC, near the community of Casar.

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (http://www.bfro.net) claims 67 sightings in North Carolina, including 2 in Burke County and 6 in Cleveland County. Many of these reports involve the creature locally known as Knobby.


http://www.totehmoon.com/uploads/bigfoot_crossing_300.pngOK THMMCers, now is your chance to catch your own footage or photograph (should you be so lucky) – it is the Search for Sasquatch Rally!!! Departing from Morganton, we will follow some backroads around Lake James, coming perilously close to the locations of some Bigfoot sightings in the Pisgah National Forest, before getting on Hwy 226 for a run up to Little Switzerland on the eastern leg of The Rattlesnake. From there we will head on north up through Spruce Pine on the way to Red Hill, before turning around and coming back down Double Island Road and then picking up Hwy 80 (the western leg of the Rattlesnake).


If you aren't scared off yet from all those twisties, we'll stop for some lunch in Marion at Countryside BBQ (http://countrysidebbq.net/). Then we head down into the country to loop around from the south side and go up into South Mountains Park (http://www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/somo/main.php) for a hike to see the waterfall. On the way there, we will go down the very road Byers' spotting occurred on and we will pass near Peeler's location.

The route is normally projected to be six hours long. But we will try to run it in a spirited manner (oh, if only I were good enough to do a Blimey Tour of Terror speed). Add in some time to stop for lunch and pics, and it will be a full day. But, finishing by late afternoon should give most people time to get back home by the end of the day on Saturday.

Here is the rally info:

I plan to drive down to the area Friday afternoon/evening – Morganton looks to be a little far for the Triangle area to make it that morning. If I make it down there early enough, I may do a run of The Rattlesnake (included in the gpx file) which will give a little preview of Saturday's run.

If you think you have the nerve to take on this monstrous rally, please post below and plan to attend!

P.S. - High definition, stable cameras are highly discouraged when hunting Sasquatch. But bring 'em if you must!

[TWISTER]

Looks great Jeff!

[Silver_Phoenix]

This looks AWESOME! Let me see what my schedule looks like and if were off that weekend then count us in!!!

[blitzcat]

+1

[Nan]

Count me in!!! I hope we see Knobby.

[Dirt]

July 23rd??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Route looks awesome, but I can't make it that day. Bummer.

[slimjimtell]

I'm in, finally a western NC run!!

[Jack$0n]

I will try and attend

[Siospins]

I'm so putting in for that weekend off...now to convince the husband to come along to man the net and unstable camera <G> Will let you know as soon as the Nurse Manager posts the schedule and I negotiate with co-workers if necessary...

[Zippy/Zoey]

We are planning on going.

[laardilla21]

Why do I have to be out West, especially when there is a run right down the street. I will actually be done for the season out here, but I am flying out to Massachusetts. Oh wells. Have fun everyone, and take lots of pics/videos!

[WINGS]

:sad: Bummed I am gone that weekend! Wish I could make that one looks like fun!

[wmhaner]

Jeff - count Max and I in. See you there. Happy Driving till we see each other on the road.
Wendy Haner

[tScott]

Add me to the list!

[mtnmini]

Add one more to the list!

[Siospins]

Count my husband Ben and I in - even if boss doesn't give me the night off, I've got someone willing to swap the nights with me so I can go. Looking forward to seeing everyone then!:yeah!:

~Heather

[saunookeharold]

:Yes, count me in!:yeah!:

[Photodude]

Will this be only for members, or may I post this on my Dashboards and Saddlebags Magazine Events Calendar?

[slimjimtell]

I don't see why they couldn't come if they show up in a MINI. There's no membership charge here, if they share the MINI passion...bring 'em on!

[tds04]

Looks like I'm going to be able to make this one! :ms_thumbsup:

Mark

[jcauseyfd]

It is a club event. If anyone shows up in a non-MINI, they gotta fall in line behind the last MINI.

[leila_snow]

Add me to the list! This will be my first ever event. Looking forward to it!

Leila Ledbetter and Billy Gunn

[wildcrazy442000]

Hope to make this.

[fleazilla]

Going to see if I can make this one,does this go threw the dragon? Sure as hec looks like it!

[jcauseyfd]

No Dragon, but we take in a bunch of the Rattlesnake.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab via Tapatalk.

[fleazilla]

I've have yet to do the dragon,bbbuuuttttt how is the rattle snake in comparison?

[jcauseyfd]

jmo, but nothing can really compare to the Dragon in a couple respects. First, the Dragon is pretty much technically challenging the entire length. Second, the Dragon is isolated and is in the middle of an undeveloped area, so there is much less to worry about as far as distractions and impediments.

That said, it is always possible to find roads that have stretches that are just as technical as the Dragon and it is possible to find roads that have stretches that are isolated. Maybe not in one single stretch like the Dragon. The flip side is other roads introduce some other features like long sweepers or major elevation changes that the Dragon doesn't have. And other roads may be a lot longer than 11 miles.

So a route like the Rattlesnake is going to be different. For some people it will be a better experience, for others not as good.

iirc, the portion of Hwy 80 just south of the BRP is very twisty/technical. Hwy 226A was twisty as well, but quite a bit of development on it. I haven't been on the rest of the route, but someone here on the site has done the Double Island portion and indicated it is a good road.

[fleazilla]

You the man! Sounds good I love the way analyzed this nicely I'm sold I just have to make sure I can make it...

[coxaaron]

We'll be there.

[suamie]

hello miniacs! please add 2 more to the list! this will be my first event, so I am very excited!

[fleazilla]

I just don't think I'm going to be able to make this one? I have asked off work a lot recently and some one got let go where they were helping us out now it's going to be harder to get off,this sucks! Plus I need brakes pretty bad,the rotors are ordered just waiting for the next paycheck for my pads..

[winniethecoop]

yeti?? yes please! count me in for some hairy humanoid hunting!! winniethecoop is on the trail :laugh:

[Sgt Pepper]

I'm in! :yes4:

[Miniboomer]

Kathy and I are in.

[Impulsivemini]

Count me in. I am a new owner and new to this as well.
I am working through the 10 stages of ownership: Stage one ownership progress: I have seen (and own) the 1969 and the latest version of the Italian job movies.
No speeding ticket yet and still enjoying watching my average mpg only got to 37.6 mpg so far...
What do I need to know about these drives?!
R Wagner Hillsborough NC

[fleazilla]

You will enjoy anything you do with your new mini and the people are great and everyone you meet has an interesting personality wether you agree or disagree you already have a common ground with your mini,and that if you don't come to every outing and Rally we will come to your house and find out why your not there enjoying our company and we will park all over your front lawn! Lol Just kidding...

[jcauseyfd]

Reba,

Not sure what else you may need to know that isn't included in the initial post. Be at the initial gathering spot on time as we'll have a short driver's meeting before starting.

Before getting there, be sure to fill-up with gas and hit a bathroom. Maybe grab a drink to have with you in case you get thirsty. If you are so inclined, you may want to bring a camera (preferably one that takes grainy, poorly focused photos as that seems to be the preference of Bigfoot).

One thing not mentioned (especially if you think you will join more events) is to bring an FRS/GMRS radio. These are typically sold in sporting goods or electronics big box stores as a blister pack of two. You will want to make sure you have one that can get channel 20/20 (i.e. it has privacy or security channels). If you are not sure, folks usually have an extra that they will let you borrow.

[slimjimtell]

If this is your first ride with THMMC, you may want to bring...

A clean pair of shorts! "only if you plan on using the Sport Button"
something to get the "perma-grin" off your face.

I'm sure there may be some more things you will need. Anyone?

[MKwxLady]

We were waiting and waiting to make sure we had the weekend off and in-state.....so, it's official! My husband and I WILL be attending!!! It'll be our first MINI rally, and our first Sasquatch hunt! I can't wait, and I know Tesla is more excited than ever!!! :D

~MK

[MKwxLady]

Noted.....numerous shorts and a few cans of perma-grin remover....got it! :D

Wow....might need to bust out the perma-grin remover now....ha!

[colejd]

It looks like I can make this one. Looking forward to it.

[mrbeebe]

No body is buying jewelry so I think I will close up and mosey on up as well!

[minimark]

Looks like fun, probably make this myself; add me to the list!!!

....always wanted to see a Bigfoot. :)

[rideon]

Count me in for my first run as well, I cant wait!!!

[minimark]

I'm planning on leaving from Winston-Salem at 7:00 Saturday morning, anyone want to hook up and caravan to the meet up would be very welcome!!! :)

Just shoot me a PM or let me know here!

[saunookeharold]

:yeah!:Jeff, do you have any updates on club teashirt orders>>

[Jack$0n]

Can't wait to break in the new 2011 JCW Although she has already hit the Dragon once. Still have Dragon bugs all over her. Gotta clean up the road kill. ;)

[jcauseyfd]

A couple quick notes as the day gets near:

1. Looks like I will not be headed down there on Friday afternoon. Or evening. Instead, I'll make the drive down there Saturday morning (early rise - boo).

2. Because the response has been a little more than I expected (a pleasant surprise!) and I'm not going to stay at the Hampton, I'm a little worried about crashing their parking lot. The advanced, Bigfoot tracking satellites have provided some imagery indicating there may be a vacant lot next door with an abandoned parking lot. If we can get to that, I think that will make a better gathering spot. So please be on the lookout when you get to the area and have your radios on and call out if you need to.

Weather report looks to be hot with a chance of wet Yeti sightings. Please be sure to check all your fluids, including radiator fluid, before departing. Check those tire pressures as well.

[Jack$0n]

To confirm .... which radio channel will we be on?

[AquaMini]

We might make this trip...depending on schedules. This will be our second, since we sorta joined the Lake Lure Run at Lastradas :-) have yet to press the "sport" button haha - the wife did get a ticket last week...but not in the Clubman, so looks like I will be doing most if not all of the driving again lol

[slimjimtell]

To confirm .... which radio channel will we be on?.

Channel 20-20

[rsmith3650]

Count me In.

[jcauseyfd]

Yet another note/reminder!

Hey folks, just thought I'd point out something that might have got lost if you didn't read the announcement real closely.

When we get to the summit of South Mountains State Park, I plan to do the hike out to the High Shoals Waterfall. I anticipate this hike will be somewhere between 2.0 and 2.7 miles long. So this probably will be about an hour long stop.

If you are planning to do the hike, please don't forget your hiking/running/walking shoes (especially if you have different driving shoes), bug spray(?), and a towel or something for yo' sweat.

If you are not planning to do the hike, you might want to bring a chair and whatever else you may need to keep yourself entertained while hanging in the parking lot (though spending time looking at and discussing MINIs works).

Thanks!

[minimark]

.....they can also stand guard over the hikers' beloved Minis!!! :)

[mrbeebe]

Mr. Beebe will BE there...cannot wait.

[Impulsivemini]

Wow 30 RSVP's so far. What better way to spend a sweltering hot day than in a Cool car.
Probably a couple of procrastinators still stalking outthere...Right?!

I went out and bought a FRS radio I have no idea how to work or what for, bought the grin removal cream,
and hired someone to watch my house in case of a fire Fri pm
for the "Hey my parents are away party", so If I can make it , so can you.

[HerodsMINI]

Spicy Mini will bring me too,,,,, (ex pre shrunk).

[colejd]

Wow, this will be quite a turnout. :ms_thumbsup: I will be coming down from Durham and grabbing a motel in Lenoir. Therefore I will be at the starting point early tomorrow. I will be bringing club merchandise including enamel and magnetic grill badges. Please bring your checkbooks or cash if you need to buy any THMMC items.

Note: the T-shirts have not arrived yet so I won't be bringing any of those.

Hey Jeff, if you have any extra badges...i will buy one, just let me know how much :-) thanks, Rich

[colejd]

Sure. Options: Magnetic Badges ($9) but you'll need a metal badge holder. Enamel badge ($25) comes with installation hardware.

[MKwxLady]

Awesome!! Hopefully I can get my hands on one of those enamel badges :)

[CaptainSteve]

I think I'm going to be able to make this. Plans canceled at the last minute.

[maacodale]

Hope y'all have fun. Really wish I could make it!

[AquaMini]

Enamel sounds fine...now to just make the trip (came home to 2yr old with high fever, and wife with migraine - must be afraid of bigfoot) if we cant make it will just paypal if ok with addy

[AquaMini]

Have fun out there! Thought about trying to catch up...but not sure the route and cant see anyones GPS coords so will just see you all next time :-)

[X5JR]

Very well done, Jeff. It should be an annual event, many will like it.

[minimark]

Yep very well done Jeff and what a turn out!! Was great seeing old friends and meeting some new ones. Really liked the route and the lunch place, then the hike up the falls at the end just capped off a sweet Rally!!!

Hope everyone made it home OK, lost a couple on the way home when I turned and they didn't...

[wildcrazy442000]

Had fun, thanks Jeff.

[slimjimtell]

+1 on the annual run!

Jeff, amazing job putting this together so quick and the turnout was awesome.

You couldn't have picked a better route...OK, maybe the DIRT road was a bit of a bummer.

Great day!

[Zippy/Zoey]

Great Job Jeff! What an awesome drive (minus the rocks and the dirt)! Hope we can do it again next year!

[Siospins]

It was an absolute blast - my face actually hurts from grinning so much!

Thanks again Jeff for putting all of this together for us - definitely needs to be an annual run! And thanks to everyone for a great drive, new friends, lots of laughs and lots of knowledge - it was great to see all the fabulous things folks have done to their cars.

And special thanks to Pam & Ron - I'm getting a rear swaybar, my first real mod - woohoo!

Officially home after a wonderfully Mini-tastic day! Just wanted to thank the organizers and fellow miniacs for making my first rally one that I will never forget!
Stacy (and her mom Sharon too!)

[jcauseyfd]

Thanks to everyone who showed up and enjoyed a day of MINI motoring. Sorry if we lost anyone after lunch. Who knew I managed to pick the only roads without a large church parking lot or abandoned business somewhere along they way that would help us regroup.

Review of photos and videos for evidence of Bigfoot will take place over the next few days.

[mtnmini]

Great run Jeff! Made it back to GA in 3 hours and 45 minutes. Couldn't slow the Mini down.

[CaptainSteve]

Thanks Jeff for a great run today. The route was fantastic, I had a great time.

[Impulsivemini]

Great driving today and first intro to this club! Thanks for taking care of the newbies, you thought of everything; we even had a personal greeting from the sheriff!
I plan to sneak back and do some remedial practice on the twisties since I was the navigator today.
I have a new respect for the sports button and the value of the right (or wrong) tires!
Good plan and well executed.

[MKwxLady]

I'll second that, Stacy!!! My hubs and I had our first run today, and it was a complete blast!!! I can't wait for the next one....too bad it'll be in October for us! Thanks again though....The pictures I got were amazing!! :)

(SPITSPOT.....We were behind you most of the way, and have lots of "lovely rear" pics of you!)

[rideon]

I had a great time on my first run as well, the route was excellent and the people in the group were a pleasure, I look forward to being part of many more. Thanks Jeff

[Jack$0n]

Thanks for the event... I think it all went well. Maybe we can catch that Sasquatch next year. I only messed up once and crossed the yellow diving into the corner too hard.... still feel bad about it.... but lesson learned and shows that these new run flats need changed out. ;)

[MKwxLady]

One of my favorites! :)

Kudos to Jeff for a great ride ! Looking forward to the pics & videos of the road trip.

[wmhaner]

Jeff, we are so appreciative for having you as our leader yesterday on the "Big Foot" run. Enjoyed the whole day including the walk up to see the falls.
Thanks for doing a super job and look forward to having you at the helm again on another one of your great rides.
See everyone on the road :thank you.:thank_you:78427843

Here's a Video of the run...sorry, I looked through all of my video and NO signs of Sasquatch anywhere.

Let's hope someone else finds one.

I did see some yellow line crossing in this video...we all do it and know we shouldn't. you'll know who you are when you see it!!

Enjoy!!

No sasquatch here, either - but still examining the photographic evidence. Here are the best of my shots from yesterday...

What a wonderful time! We had a blast at our first event. Everyone we met was wonderful and friendly and had smiles on their faces. The driving was incredible - even at the back as a less experienced driver. I laughed out loud or squee-ed a lot. :D One of my favorite moments was doing the twisties and having Offspring's Come out and Play pop up on the playlist. I think I got some extra zoom into the corners with that one.

Thank you Jeff for the great event. Oh, and thanks for the maps! Extra bonus helpful. :)
