north american bigfoot center

so do you believe in bigfoot? ~

we recently took a rainy day drive to visit the new north american bigfoot center nearby ~

the town of boring oregon just got a little less boring ~

so my first impression of mr dad upon first glance was that he was a sasquatch of some kind ~

he's definitely gigantopithecus ~

so i married outside of my species ~

but he's fully domesticated ~

up here in the pacific northwest bigfoot is a kind of local celebrity ~

we spotted him once on one of our hikes (bigfoot hunting) ~

the north american bigfoot center is only a gift shop right now ~

but will soon be a full museum ~

we stocked up on bigfoot goodies ~

for the car ~

we were assured that the bigfoot air freshener does not smell like bigfoot ~

socks by archie mcphee ~

'cause #noboringsocks ~

it's the world's largest public bigfoot collection ~
