That's this weekend.... how far is it from Port Huron/Birtch Run?

3 hours 27 minutes / 204.41 miles from Port Huron
2 hours 7 minutes / 118.59 miles Birch Run

Oh wow, so it'd be at least a 4-5 hour drive for me, or about that.

I went to this Big Foot Bash today, got a late start so got there around 2:00 First thing I saw was four craft tents. I finally noticed a small out door canopy. Now at this point I turned around to make sure I was at the right location. Ok sure enough Bigfoot Bash. Now I walk into the canopy and sit in back to watch the presenter, now as I scanned the crowd..... and by crowd I mean I counted 20 people and 4 children. Now further looking around I discovered half the crowd were Big Foot Research Organization members. I sat through a few presentations, this was really hard as it was sooooo boring. They had a few plaster casts on hand and right away I noticed how different they all were.

I finally started talking to a member of BFRO and pointed out all the hard to believe claims. He responded with but there are some good claims too. I then asked why they have the ones that are so obviously not true. I got a Um ... and no response. I then pointed one out.
A person while driving 45 mph had a big foot jump in front of them at 30 feet, they slammed on their brakes and stopped 17 feet from it.
Now I told him they at 45 were traveling 66 feet per second. At this speed they would of gone 99 feet plus reaction time which the average would of been an additional 97 feet. So 196 feet to stop but the claim says they stopped in 13 feet. He then just turned and ignored me.

I watched a bit more about already debunked big foot sightings and then they presented a story about the woman who talked to them. She even understood the big foot language. She called them in with garlic.

I had heard enough and left.

AWE! dang what a let down, it sounded like fun. I did giggle when you pulled out the math on that guy. No one can beat the math!

Too bad, it sounded like it had promise. Maybe next year.

UNR,
Sorry the Bigfoot Bash was a bust. Originally sounded like it had potential to at least be some fun.
And the good news is you wern't tossed out. lol.

[Lady Ellie]

I forgot to ask.... did you at least get a blurry pic of Bigfoot before you bolted?

[howoldami]

Hahaha, the math is fantastic. I'm seriously LOLing here!

[scarygirl67]

I know howoldami...I can't stop laughing either! I keep picturing the dude getting the "deer in the headlights" look before he turned around....
