I agree with Rob that Steve has never said anything negative about Dr. B. I have listened to everything he has posted, just as I have listened to everything on SC. I’m from north of that area and there is a lot going on. Wildass home grown BC and Alberta Canadians are generally straight to the point with no BS so his personality might be abrasive to non-wildass humans. You could blame it on the cold but it wouldn’t be true…just our nature lol
Originally from Alberta/British Columbia. Lived in Tennessee (near Cookeville currently) since 1986. Furry ‘friends’ all around here…no more camping for me! ?
Hey Randy – this is an old thread but wondering if you are still in McMinnville? Have you heard any accounts near Alpine/Wilder? (E of Cookeville)
Carson you make great points. Many, many species were underwater creatures so those were not included on the ‘boat’. As for the earth shifting and separating continents I haven’t yet investigated biblical account of that occurrence. It’s a big can of worms to sort through.
I’m also not a fundamentalist for many reasons. There are many scripts that were not included in the ‘modern’ bible so I believe there are things that were kept from the ‘unlearned masses’ and over time no one questioned the things that were not taught that were seen and known by ancestors. Only ‘primitive’ societies like tribesman from remote areas kept the stories alive. Kind of like how the general public is fed what they are to believe by media, some college professors, etc. Dumb down the society and you shall rule it. Thousands of years of that I’m afraid. My opinion only and I’m still learning every day.
I love this group of people…you guys are insightful and no one I’ve read (subscribers that is) is on the defense or on attack. Carson you bring up very good points and Wesley, I’m right there with you on your Genesis thoughts. So much to study in our lifetimes and never gonna be enough lifetime to get all the answers lol I’ll be listening to his Noah presentation next. Thanks for the tip!
So my next thought is this – a mating pair of sasquatch must have been on the the Ark for them to exist now. Yes or no?
Debbie – start at Cookeville and look around with labeled Google Maps satellite image. Where I had my ‘sleep in the truck night’ was up between Alpine and Allred – see if you can find Hickory Flat Rd. I used to camp all around there on the mountain and by the river…with horses and without. There are other places near me with accounts. I’m on the north side of Cookeville out about 8 miles and within 5 miles of activity.
Debbie – maybe we can find/create the maps I’m talking about so at least we can be aware if we do decide to go back out? Not talking about BFRO because what is on their site is not a consolidation from what I have seen/heard.
I’m even leery about camping on the lake at a Corp park 🙁
Trey I just looked up the falls on the satellite map. Bet the rangers over there are quite familiar with the topic lol Do you have a website/FB page you get your emails from? I’d love to know if there is an encounter map. If not, I’d like to help create one for Tennessee.
Not sure about you guys but I’m a little pissed because I love the woods and hiking to falls but sadly I think I’m done. 🙁
Bob – you are correct on all points except the name after Mr. Google ‘fessed up 🙂 Last weekend I was with a friend and drove 111 south on the way to Chattanooga for lunch. He probable wondered why I spent all my time looking into the woods and seeing possible crossings going up past where the overlook is. He’s a non-believer so far so I don’t say anything. The way things are growing in this area population and development I’m thinking that soon they are going to start staking out the territory like in other places. Imminent truth. And yes, the bear and the panther are seriously here as well as up around Dale Hollow Lake where I moved from last fall.
The name explanation that seems the most likely: “The Cherokee had never seen hogs before the Spanish explorers came, so they used the word for opossum (si’qua) as a name for them. That left them with the necessity to distinguish ‘possums from pigs, so the ‘possum came to be called “siqua utsetsidi,” the “grinning pig,” a short form of which is “siqua-utsets.” Nowadays, only the grin is left, and the possum is just “utsetsidi” [pronounced roughly “oo-chets’-dee,” depending on the dialect]. Sigwetsi is merely a shortened form of “siqua utsetsidi.” Such shortenings are common in Cherokee. The shortened form would have been accented on the –qua- element, becoming roughly “siQUAchets.” And that became Sequatchie in the white man’s pronunciation.” https://chenocetah.wordpress.com/tag/cherokee-word-for-hog/ But…I like your story better because we both know the live all up and down the valley lol
