00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Now one of your pudding. I got a string going

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>on here, something just because my dog. Something killed your dog.

3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>My dog. We're flying through the air over the tree.

4
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how it did it, Okay, Damn, I'm

5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>really confused. All I saw was my dog coming over

6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the fence and he was dead. And once you hit

7
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>the ground like, I didn't see any cars. All I

8
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>saw was my dog coming over the fence. Sat what

9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>are you putting? We got some wonder or something crawling

10
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>around out here? Did you see what it was? Or

11
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.159
<v Speaker 1>was it was? Standing up? I'm out here looking through

12
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the window now and I don't see anything. I don't

13
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>want to go outside. Jesus quice, you better hello, hit

14
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>somebody out here. What quent on out there? It's thought

15
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>of a bit of about sixty forty nine. I don't know.

16
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Easy him out there, Yeah, I'm right.

17
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh hey, greetings, thanks for joining me. Is Fred and Alaska.

18
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 2>What I wanted to share with you today comes from

19
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Todd and Alicia. From what Todd was telling me for

20
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>over thirty years. Beachcombing was his and his wife's thing.

21
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>He beach combed when he was younger as a commercial

22
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 2>salmon fisherman. One of the boats he was on as

23
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 2>a kid beached had to do some repairs, and he

24
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>went beachcombing just to kill time, because he wasn't part

25
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>of the mechanic aspect of it. He was just there

26
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 2>to pull net. Todd instantly he found some of those

27
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>glass balls that had the webbing on it from Korean

28
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>fishing boats and stuff, so he was hooked. Found a

29
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>walrus's skull and some other stuff. He was bit by

30
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>the bug, the beachcombing bug, and so he got his

31
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 2>pilot's license a couple of years after that, and he

32
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 2>spent literally thirty years beachcombing. He would fly around the state.

33
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 2>He'd been everywhere from Platinum on down to the southeast Alaska,

34
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>just beachcombing. Wherever he could find a safe place to land,

35
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 2>he would land. He would beach the craft and then

36
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>go beachcombing. Him and his wife. After he got married

37
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>his wife, it only partook about twenty years of that.

38
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>All the time it was their thing to do up

39
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>until it got too cold to do it. Every year,

40
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>he basically broke it down to where he worked so

41
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>he could beachcomb so he could afford the fuel and

42
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to be able to maintenance the plane and all that.

43
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 2>So he literally was a slave to beachcombing. Those are

44
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 2>his words. So they were down in southeast Alaska. They

45
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>had bounced between three different islands. He gave me a

46
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>general location. This place isn't too far from other inhabited

47
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 2>places from what he dealt with. He doesn't want to

48
00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>be the guy that says, oh, here's the spot, and

49
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>people potentially going there and getting themselves in trouble. So

50
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 2>it was a third island of the day. It was

51
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>larger than the other two because the other two they landed.

52
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Him and Alicia beach combed all the way around, found

53
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of trash and plastic and they were like, an,

54
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 2>let's let's try a bigger one and we'll call it

55
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>a day. So Todd he took off. He circled around,

56
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 2>he found the one. They flew low looking for any

57
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 2>sign of bears on the beach and stuff like that,

58
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>because they didn't want any conflict. He of course, he

59
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>had a gun in his plane. So they land. He

60
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 2>said it was weird. When he tied off the plane.

61
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 2>He noticed weird noises in the woods, but there was

62
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>wind higher than ground level. And so it was blowing

63
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 2>the tops of the trees, but not at surface level.

64
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 2>So he chalked it up to that branches are breaking

65
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 2>and falling from the wind. So yeah, no big deal.

66
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 2>He grabbed his gun, of course, because there's been times

67
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>he didn't bring it, and all of a sudden there

68
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 2>was a bear come out on the beach right behind him, right,

69
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 2>so he brings his rifle. It was at thirty out

70
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>to six, and so him and his wife would take turns.

71
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 2>They weren't intentionally leap frogging, but one would get caught

72
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 2>up looking at some stuff and the other one would

73
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 2>continue on a little ways and then catch up and

74
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>then continue on. Sometimes they were together, but always within eyesight.

75
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>And Todd said that as they were going along the

76
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 2>whole time. Once he tied off and he heard those

77
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>weird noises in the woods, something kept drawing his attention

78
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to the woods. He just he didn't know why he

79
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>had his rifle. He checked it a couple times to

80
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 2>make sure he had around in it, and he said

81
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>he had never felt so uneasy with nothing around. No

82
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 2>one was around, but there was no signs of bear.

83
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>There was no bear tracks on the beach. There wasn't

84
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 2>even deer sign or any animal sign whatsoever. So he

85
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 2>just chalked it up to something's just off with the wind,

86
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just being freaked out. He chalked it up,

87
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>left it alone, and as they go a little further

88
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>at this point there we got half mile from the plane,

89
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 2>was his estimate, because they were doing a lot of

90
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 2>staring at their feet, looking at the ground and stuff,

91
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.560
<v Speaker 2>and just looking for washed up artific Well, he said,

92
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>they're going along and he hears this super sharp whistle

93
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 2>off to his left hand side, and it stopped him

94
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>and his wife both and Alicia was like, what was that?

95
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 2>That was real loud. He said that he'd never heard

96
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 2>a bird or anything else make such a loud, sharp,

97
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 2>crisp whistle, just real short, super loud. He said. It

98
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 2>was almost ear piercing how loud it was, but it

99
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>was so short, he said, it was the damnedest thing.

100
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 2>So of course their attention's caught and they're looking off

101
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>into the trees. Alicia's standing behind him, and they're about

102
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>he said, thirty feet from the grassy edge. You got

103
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the rocky beach going up with a little bit of

104
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 2>sand and stuff, and then a bit of beach, and

105
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 2>then the grass was hanging down in some shrubs and stuff,

106
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and there's a windblown area there and he's looking at

107
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>it and he's looking into the grass and he sees

108
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of movement. So he's, oh, man, I

109
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.000
<v Speaker 2>wonder what that is. Because he had no reference point

110
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 2>in that moment other than bear. He goes, man, I

111
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.439
<v Speaker 2>think I seen a bear moving, and he has Alisha

112
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>go with him. There was a big rock. It was

113
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 2>about five foot tall and about ten foot in diameter,

114
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 2>and it was like a little pinnacle a little further

115
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.199
<v Speaker 2>down the beach. So they went over there just to

116
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>have something to be behind and keeping out for this bear.

117
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>So as they're standing there, he has Alisia go to

118
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>the other side of this rock and look down the

119
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>beach because his view was obscured to his right hand

120
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 2>side because he was off to the left hand side

121
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 2>of the rock looking at the trees, just waiting to

122
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>see this bear. She's on the opposite side of the

123
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>rock and she's doing the same thing, but looking further down.

124
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.079
<v Speaker 2>He said, he got super super quiet. They could hear

125
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 2>the wind blowing up high. He kept getting distracted by

126
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.079
<v Speaker 2>the wind blowing because when the wind would blow, it

127
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 2>seems like he'd hear more cracking. So he started assessing it, like, man,

128
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.759
<v Speaker 2>that's a lot of extra cracking when the wind blows.

129
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Something wasn't adding up to him, and he was sticking

130
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>to that feeling. He was like, something's not right. And

131
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>so as he's sitting there considering everything it could be

132
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>and just second guessing himself, all of a sudden, his

133
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 2>wife is beside him and she's pale, and he's what's

134
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 2>going on. Did you see it? Did you see it?

135
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>And she goes, yeah, you could see it from the

136
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>other side of this rock. And so instead of going

137
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 2>back around like she did towards the ocean side, he

138
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>went on the beach side and came around to get

139
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>a look, and he saw this thing squatted down. He said,

140
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 2>it was about seventy five feet away. It was squatted down,

141
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 2>and all he could see was just this brown thing.

142
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't make out arms, legs, had anything. It was

143
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>just a brown kind of mound. And he said, at

144
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 2>first he was asking his wife, are you sure, because

145
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 2>that looks like something just sleughed from the bank, just erosion,

146
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.399
<v Speaker 2>kind of a mound of grass maybe, And she goes, no,

147
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I watched it walk out and squat down, and he goes,

148
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.839
<v Speaker 2>tell me what you saw, and she said it looked

149
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 2>like a man. It looked like a very large man

150
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 2>with hair all over it. And he's right there. She's

151
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.680
<v Speaker 2>in shock, but she's very precise and very forceful about

152
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>what she saw. She said, that is a man over there,

153
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 2>a very large man at that, and Todd's kind of

154
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 2>thrown off. He's, what do you mean large man? She

155
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 2>said it looked like he was wearing a hair coat

156
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 2>of some kind, but he was very large. He's looking

157
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.439
<v Speaker 2>at this mound. She's telling him this, and he's trying

158
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 2>to put it together. His thirty out six didn't have

159
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 2>a scope, it had open sites, but he did have

160
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 2>some binoculars, so he had his wife digging his little

161
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.879
<v Speaker 2>day pack off his back while he's keeping an eye

162
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:27.959
<v Speaker 2>on this thing, to dig out his binocular She hands

163
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>them to him and they're just a little small set,

164
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>a little three or four by and he takes a

165
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 2>look at it, and he said, as soon as he

166
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 2>put eyes on it to the binocular, it stood up

167
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 2>and walked off the beach instantly. As soon as he

168
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 2>put the binoculars up. As he was trying to focus

169
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.080
<v Speaker 2>on it, this thing stood up before he could really

170
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>get a look at it, and it walked off. But

171
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 2>he did say it walked off on two legs, and

172
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 2>so did his wife. So it goes off into the

173
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 2>trees and he's just holy crap. So immediately he's, hey,

174
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 2>let's back out of here. Let's just find somewhere else

175
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.679
<v Speaker 2>to beach. Comber go on about our way. Alisha's all fours.

176
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.799
<v Speaker 2>He's yeah, let's go. Let's go. So from what Todd

177
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>was telling me, when they turned around and they started

178
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 2>going back up the beach, that a half a mile

179
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.440
<v Speaker 2>or so to go down this beach, wind's blowing. It's loud,

180
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.320
<v Speaker 2>the winds above them. It's not at surface level, but

181
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.879
<v Speaker 2>the wind is obscuring all the noises of the woods.

182
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>And as they're going along, he said, I intentionally slowed

183
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 2>my pace, so I wasn't creating a chase instinct, you know,

184
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>that predator chase instinct. And he said he wished he

185
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 2>had walked faster because as they were walking, they started

186
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 2>hearing breaking and noises getting ahead of them. It got

187
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>to a point to where he was like, whatever this

188
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 2>is now ahead of us because just the sheer amount

189
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.960
<v Speaker 2>of noise that was going on, even when the wind

190
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 2>gusts were died down and he could hear clearly something

191
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.360
<v Speaker 2>was making noise off to their right, up into the trees. Right,

192
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 2>he said, this island, there was a good maybe one

193
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.200
<v Speaker 2>hundred feet of beach to the hard line where the

194
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 2>slough and erosion was with the grass and all the

195
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>smaller shrubs, then another maybe hundred feet before it started

196
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>going up on the sheer rock and stuff. Right, because

197
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 2>this is southeast Alaska, most things are fjord like, he

198
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:16.799
<v Speaker 2>said he was trying to figure out what best route

199
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 2>to take as far as what they were doing, because

200
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>he felt like imminent danger was in front of him.

201
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.200
<v Speaker 2>But he's torn because the plane is just down the ways.

202
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>He knows right where the plane is, and that's basically safety.

203
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 2>We'll get out of here with that. He also said

204
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>that when they stopped and he was thinking about it,

205
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.399
<v Speaker 2>he's bouncing ideas off his wife, and she goes, let's

206
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 2>get in the water and just walk in the water

207
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and make more distance. He's no, we could get hypothermia

208
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:45.919
<v Speaker 2>before we even get to the plane. Because she's freaking out.

209
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>She's hearing the same noises, and she's trying to show

210
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.279
<v Speaker 2>a brave face and support Todd in his decision. But

211
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.240
<v Speaker 2>she's we need to just hurry up to the plane.

212
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 2>Then let's just go. We'll stay as close to the

213
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>water as possible and get to the plane. So that

214
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>was their game plan. So as they start along, they're

215
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.320
<v Speaker 2>moving at a pretty good clip, but one portion of

216
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.080
<v Speaker 2>the beach there's this one area with pretty big rocks

217
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, so it wasn't going to be easy. They'd

218
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 2>have to cut further up towards the bank to negotiate

219
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 2>these rocks. So from what Alicia said at that point,

220
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>when they got to those rocks, from her vantage point

221
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.840
<v Speaker 2>behind him about five feet, giving him room because he

222
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.159
<v Speaker 2>was holding the gun in his hands and constantly hit

223
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>on his swivel, looking back and forth. She was giving

224
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>him distance in case he had to do something right.

225
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 2>And she said, as they were going along and they

226
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 2>reached that point and we're about to go around it,

227
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, she heard like a rock hitting rocks,

228
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 2>and so she looks down and she noticed a fresh

229
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 2>scuff place with the rock, just a small one, not

230
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.519
<v Speaker 2>quite the size of an apple, had landed by them,

231
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.240
<v Speaker 2>and so she pointed it out to Todd, say, hey,

232
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.639
<v Speaker 2>there was a rock that just hit back here, and

233
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.480
<v Speaker 2>he goes, I heard it. Are you sure it was

234
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 2>a rock? Was it thrown or did you accidentally kick it?

235
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.120
<v Speaker 2>But he's trying to process of elimination. She was like,

236
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't kick anything. I've been tiptoeing behind you. So

237
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Todd said, all right, let's get moving. So they had

238
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.639
<v Speaker 2>to cut back towards the bank, and as they're doing

239
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>this half moon to get around this cluster of rocks.

240
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.320
<v Speaker 2>They didn't want to mess with going over because it

241
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 2>was slimy and slippery because of the tide and all

242
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.720
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff. And Todd said, when they got

243
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 2>to about the apex of that half moon, the trees

244
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.759
<v Speaker 2>lit up off to the right. All he heard was

245
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:29.840
<v Speaker 2>this scream and wailing and a bunch of breaking branches

246
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:34.799
<v Speaker 2>and just chaotic noise. Immediately he has a rifle up,

247
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:36.679
<v Speaker 2>he's got a point in that direction. He clicks the

248
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.399
<v Speaker 2>safety off, and he said, as he was standing there surveying,

249
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.639
<v Speaker 2>just going back and forth with the gun, just looking for,

250
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, whatever's doing this, Alicia behind them starts crying

251
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>and saying, let's just go. We gotta move, we gotta move,

252
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.799
<v Speaker 2>and he agrees. He was just making sure that it

253
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 2>wasn't going to just come bursting out of the trees.

254
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.159
<v Speaker 2>So he has her go a little ways ahead, then

255
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 2>he catches up to her, has to go a little

256
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 2>further ahead, and while he was doing that, he was

257
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 2>keeping the rifle on the tree line. He said, once

258
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.639
<v Speaker 2>they got past that half moon area, they came around

259
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a it was mainly sandy area

260
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.559
<v Speaker 2>in that spot. They could see the plane just down away,

261
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>so he had a little sense of relief. They're going along.

262
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.960
<v Speaker 2>He keeps looking off to his right. The noises died down.

263
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:27.360
<v Speaker 2>They stayed back in that area where the rocks were,

264
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and so he started calming down a little bit. But

265
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 2>he's souper on edge hyped up something screaming, they saw

266
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:38.080
<v Speaker 2>this thing walking, he said. They got within one hundred

267
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and fifty yards of the plane at the point where

268
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.480
<v Speaker 2>he stopped holding the rifle in his hands and flung

269
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.320
<v Speaker 2>it over his shoulder because there was a little more

270
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>beach there, but went to about one hundred and twenty

271
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.360
<v Speaker 2>feet before the brush and the tree line started. He

272
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.159
<v Speaker 2>felt a little more room to move, but not overly cautious.

273
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.399
<v Speaker 2>I guess you can't be in those situations, So he said,

274
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>no suitering these slings the rifle over his shoe. All

275
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, this thing showed itself again. And he said,

276
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.039
<v Speaker 2>as soon as he got it up onto his shoulder,

277
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.759
<v Speaker 2>about half the distance of about roughly seventy yards between

278
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.360
<v Speaker 2>him and the plane, this thing walked out onto the beach.

279
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 2>He said, it took about seven steps to get to

280
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 2>the water. It squatted down by the water, glanced over

281
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.159
<v Speaker 2>its shoulder at them, like paying them no mind, but

282
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 2>acknowledging they were there, and there stopped. He unslung the rifle,

283
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.759
<v Speaker 2>of course, and he's holding it again, and he said,

284
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 2>this thing just messed around in the water a little bit,

285
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 2>stood up, looked at them in their direction, then turned

286
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>and walked right back up the beach, just like it

287
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:42.360
<v Speaker 2>was another day. I asked him, I said, what did

288
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 2>you feel in that moment? Do you think it was

289
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.720
<v Speaker 2>sizing you up or what do you think? And he

290
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>was like, I have no clue. But as soon as

291
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.960
<v Speaker 2>he slung the rifle, it showed itself walked out right

292
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 2>down to the water. Lion squatted down, turned and looked

293
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.559
<v Speaker 2>towards them, swrolled his hands in the water, stood up,

294
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 2>turned and faced him, and then turned and walked right back away,

295
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.159
<v Speaker 2>and stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll

296
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 2>be right back after these messages. He said, it all

297
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.399
<v Speaker 2>happened literally that fast. When he said, he was surprised

298
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 2>how very few steps it took for it to get

299
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 2>there and get back. And I asked him how tall

300
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.240
<v Speaker 2>do you think it was? He against himated twelve foot tall.

301
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>He said it wasn't overly thick and muscular. You could

302
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker 2>tell it was fit, but it was more lanky. He said.

303
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.399
<v Speaker 2>The length of the arms, the way it moved was

304
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.200
<v Speaker 2>just so surreal. He said, it was almost like watching

305
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the Patterson Gimlin footage with a skinnier creature that's a

306
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.559
<v Speaker 2>little taller. I asked about what it looked like. He

307
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't have a very good look at it as far

308
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 2>as its facial features. He said the skin was obviously

309
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.519
<v Speaker 2>way darker than the hair. He said the hair was

310
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:59.720
<v Speaker 2>a lighter brown, like a slightly grizzled look to it.

311
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 2>The skin tone was very dark. I said, was it

312
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.679
<v Speaker 2>like black dark or lighter than that, and he said, honestly,

313
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.440
<v Speaker 2>with the way the lighting and everything was, he could

314
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 2>not tell. But it was very dark skinned. He couldn't

315
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.200
<v Speaker 2>make out the eyes. He could tell that whatever this

316
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>thing was much bigger than them, but it just wasn't enough.

317
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.679
<v Speaker 2>Because of his shock and everything going on, he didn't

318
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>get a lot of detail with that. So once this

319
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.080
<v Speaker 2>thing clears the beach and his back up in the trees,

320
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.159
<v Speaker 2>they hear that sharp whistle again. When he hears that

321
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.080
<v Speaker 2>sharp whistle, he's looking in that direction because it was

322
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.799
<v Speaker 2>so loud and crisp. It was startling and startled him

323
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Speaker 2>because it was unexpected, like most of this. So he's

324
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 2>standing there, Alicia's pulling on the sleeve of the shirt

325
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>he was wearing, saying let's go, and so they start

326
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.759
<v Speaker 2>walking again. He said he was so indecisive. He was

327
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:55.279
<v Speaker 2>having a hard time walking. He kept stutter stepping because

328
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.679
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to stand there and stand his ground. Basically,

329
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:01.759
<v Speaker 2>he knew he had to get to the plane. And

330
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 2>he freely admits there was no overt aggression outside of

331
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 2>the breaking of the limbs and all the noise, but

332
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 2>there was no active trying to get them or anything

333
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.400
<v Speaker 2>like that. It was just so surreal to have this

334
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:19.240
<v Speaker 2>thing at one moment stand up and walk off and

335
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>then further down the beach. For it to just walk

336
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:24.920
<v Speaker 2>down and then walk back just took a look at

337
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:28.039
<v Speaker 2>him and then walked away. And to me, it sounded

338
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>like the thing sized him up see if he was

339
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.400
<v Speaker 2>going to shoot or not, because it nonchalantly walks to

340
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 2>the water, splashes around, glances over at him, and turns

341
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 2>faces him, and then walks off. Who knows what's all speculation?

342
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.359
<v Speaker 2>So once he stops stutter stepping, he catches himself there

343
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 2>in a full blown run after some of this stutter stepping,

344
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.240
<v Speaker 2>just full blown run. Todd said as lungs were burning

345
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.480
<v Speaker 2>so bad, he hadn't run in years sedentary life outside

346
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.240
<v Speaker 2>of flying around and stuff in beachcombing, which is nice

347
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:01.240
<v Speaker 2>cardio for walking, but he said that he couldn't remember

348
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:03.720
<v Speaker 2>the last time he ran before that. They got to

349
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.799
<v Speaker 2>the plane, he got her in, got it, turned around,

350
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 2>and did all this stuff untied, of course, he said.

351
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.720
<v Speaker 2>When they fired up the plane, he was looking around.

352
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.440
<v Speaker 2>He said he noticed it further back by where he

353
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>was stutter stepping, basically where it walked out from, and

354
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.400
<v Speaker 2>then walked back. It was basically right there, right at

355
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.119
<v Speaker 2>the beachline, just squatted down and just looking over at him,

356
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.400
<v Speaker 2>just watching them, not doing nothing, just sitting there watching them.

357
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.119
<v Speaker 2>I asked how it was sitting and he said it

358
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:35.119
<v Speaker 2>was just squatted down, just arms resting on the ground,

359
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.160
<v Speaker 2>just didn't have a care in the world and was

360
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.240
<v Speaker 2>just watching them. So he fired up. He took off.

361
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 2>He said he got about two miles away and wanted

362
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.839
<v Speaker 2>to go back low and buzz and get another look right,

363
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 2>just because he was so in shock over what he

364
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.279
<v Speaker 2>was seeing. Alisha over the years, basically he had taught

365
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.839
<v Speaker 2>her how to fly right. Alicia said that when they

366
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.640
<v Speaker 2>initially took off, he was in a hard climb, almost

367
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.039
<v Speaker 2>to the point of a stall. He was so freaked out,

368
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.680
<v Speaker 2>so she had to like literally calm him down and

369
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.039
<v Speaker 2>push the yoke for it a little bit. Hey, dude,

370
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:13.000
<v Speaker 2>you're climbing a little too steep, right, And when they

371
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.480
<v Speaker 2>came back by, there was no sign of it. As

372
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.240
<v Speaker 2>they're flying by, they noticed the impressions in the ground

373
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.200
<v Speaker 2>from when it walked out and then walked back, but

374
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.200
<v Speaker 2>they were already gone. They were already out of there.

375
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.240
<v Speaker 2>This happened during the pandemic time. It was a way

376
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 2>for them to escape. Of course, he did it all

377
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the time anyway, but they did a lot more of

378
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 2>it during that period. But once that happened, he said, honestly,

379
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>it's been since then that he has not actively been

380
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.839
<v Speaker 2>out beachcombing, which is unfortunate. And I tried to encourage him.

381
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I was like, you had a gun and it didn't

382
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 2>technically hurt anyone, And he said it was the visual

383
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:55.799
<v Speaker 2>of all of a sudden, this thing that he's heard

384
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.440
<v Speaker 2>stories here and there, but he never really gave it

385
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.559
<v Speaker 2>any leeway, either for or against. It was just a story.

386
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:04.680
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't look at it the same way at all.

387
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Totally understandable. I want to thank Todd for reaching out.

388
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Also Gregory for making the connection and getting him in

389
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 2>contact with me. I appreciate that Gregory shout out to you.

390
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.359
<v Speaker 2>What I wanted to share with you today comes from

391
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.119
<v Speaker 2>Chad and Darcy. It's an encounter they had approximately a

392
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.519
<v Speaker 2>decade ago at Roaring Bear Lake. It's the hell of

393
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:32.799
<v Speaker 2>a name. So this particular lake is up north south

394
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:36.279
<v Speaker 2>of Chandler, closer to the Canadian border and the interior.

395
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>So Chad and Darcy used to basically be guides fishing guides.

396
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Their thing was trout fishing, best trout fishing in the world.

397
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.640
<v Speaker 2>They would take clients to out of the way places

398
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:55.279
<v Speaker 2>as part of their niche to fish for trout. Chad

399
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:57.319
<v Speaker 2>loved it fishing for trout to get his fly ride,

400
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:00.359
<v Speaker 2>and he's on it right. So they landed the lake.

401
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.799
<v Speaker 2>They're towards the southwest side of the lake. As he parked,

402
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.599
<v Speaker 2>everyone got out. There's three clients there with them. Darcy

403
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:12.359
<v Speaker 2>stayed with the clients. Chad wanted to go from where

404
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 2>they parked a plane around this little kinicle, this little spit,

405
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.680
<v Speaker 2>it's almost like an open salmon mouth. He goes around there,

406
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.000
<v Speaker 2>and he wanted to fish the smaller creek that fed

407
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 2>into a pond, and he suspected there's some lunkers in there.

408
00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:26.599
<v Speaker 2>He wanted to get a big trout, but he didn't

409
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.359
<v Speaker 2>want too many lines in a way. So in a

410
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.519
<v Speaker 2>sense he was like, Darcy, keep our clients over here

411
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.759
<v Speaker 2>to fish, and I'm going to go, oh to my

412
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:36.920
<v Speaker 2>little spot where I'm going to try to catch fish

413
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.480
<v Speaker 2>before you guys migrate over or whatever. And this is

414
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 2>approximately seven am in the morning. Right line of the

415
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 2>midnight sun sun was already up. So he gets around there.

416
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:50.640
<v Speaker 2>He's at the mouth of this creek. When they flew over,

417
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:54.200
<v Speaker 2>it didn't look as paint in the butt to maneuver,

418
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:57.720
<v Speaker 2>and so he gets over there and he realizes, crap,

419
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the proper stuff to get to where

420
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:02.559
<v Speaker 2>I could fish the way I want to with this

421
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.519
<v Speaker 2>fly rod. So he's just teasing the mouth as he

422
00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:07.799
<v Speaker 2>put it to the mouth of this little feeder creek

423
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:10.640
<v Speaker 2>going off of the lake. He catches a couple of fish,

424
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.480
<v Speaker 2>which is cool. Nothing that he was really all that

425
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:16.200
<v Speaker 2>stoked about keeping. He didn't keep him. He let him go.

426
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.839
<v Speaker 2>He said he was there about forty five minutes, paying

427
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.519
<v Speaker 2>attention to his surroundings. He had a four fifty four

428
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.359
<v Speaker 2>on his hip. He wasn't overly concerned for bears or whatever,

429
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 2>because he was a guy he dealt with plenty of bears.

430
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:33.319
<v Speaker 2>So as he's doing his thing, he hears this scream.

431
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Right.

432
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:38.640
<v Speaker 2>This scream really jarred him because it was loud and

433
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:43.039
<v Speaker 2>it was just below him. Down He assumed it was

434
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:45.480
<v Speaker 2>down by where this little pond is off to the

435
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:47.799
<v Speaker 2>left hand side of that, because that's where the bulk

436
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.200
<v Speaker 2>of the sound was coming from. Chad said, he instantly

437
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.880
<v Speaker 2>was like, what the hell started gathering up. He had

438
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 2>one of those vests with all the lures and stuff

439
00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:59.640
<v Speaker 2>right here and all that. But he starts breaking down

440
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.240
<v Speaker 2>his fly rod and putting in it in his case

441
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:06.279
<v Speaker 2>and looking in that direction. He's focused. He's whatever is

442
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.359
<v Speaker 2>making that noise is right over there, and I don't

443
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.839
<v Speaker 2>want no part of it. And in his mind he's thinking,

444
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I hope Darcy heard that, and it's getting people loaded

445
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:16.720
<v Speaker 2>in the plane, so I don't have to get over

446
00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:20.000
<v Speaker 2>there and deal with that. So there's stuff going on.

447
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:22.680
<v Speaker 2>He's thinking about what's happening over at the plane. He's

448
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.559
<v Speaker 2>thinking about this scream. He said. The scream jarred his system.

449
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.799
<v Speaker 2>He said it freaked him out. He said he's never

450
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 2>felt that kind of fear. Just grip him in that way.

451
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:36.880
<v Speaker 2>So Chad said, he once he got his fly rod

452
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.039
<v Speaker 2>in his case and slung over his shoulder, he immediately

453
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.920
<v Speaker 2>drew his pistol and he was checking to make sure

454
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.720
<v Speaker 2>all five shots were in there. He's checking his vest

455
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.400
<v Speaker 2>pouch to make sure he hit his extra rounds were there.

456
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Everything checked out. So he's literally taking a couple of

457
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.920
<v Speaker 2>steps backwards, because he said he wanted to turn and run,

458
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.599
<v Speaker 2>but something in him said, Keith, and I don't take

459
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.519
<v Speaker 2>your eyes off that area, because this scream really gripped him.

460
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:09.000
<v Speaker 2>He said it was a vicious, mournful kind of scream.

461
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 2>So I asked him to flesh that out a little

462
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.559
<v Speaker 2>bit for me, and he said it sounded like a groan,

463
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:17.960
<v Speaker 2>but then ended with just this vicious, high pitched, a

464
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:21.880
<v Speaker 2>very aggressive type scream. Was all right, fair enough, He's

465
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.359
<v Speaker 2>literally taking a couple steps looking, checking all around him,

466
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.039
<v Speaker 2>taking a couple steps back, checking all around, and literally

467
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.960
<v Speaker 2>that snail piece of movement, and he shook, he said.

468
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>As he was standing there, he felt his hands quiver

469
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:38.599
<v Speaker 2>and holding the pistol, and he'd never been in a situation,

470
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 2>even with the bear rushing, and he never felt that.

471
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>And as he gets back a little ways, all of

472
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.759
<v Speaker 2>a sudden he sees this dark thing come out of

473
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.200
<v Speaker 2>the brush. Right because there's no big trees up there anything,

474
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.799
<v Speaker 2>it's all brush. The brush was rather large, he said.

475
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:55.880
<v Speaker 2>The brush he was looking into he had guestimated at

476
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:58.440
<v Speaker 2>nine to ten foot tall. This thing was taller than that.

477
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Very dark, pitch black, very dark comes out the way

478
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the sun was. It was coming down basically over his

479
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.000
<v Speaker 2>left shoulder, but it was so dark he couldn't make

480
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.440
<v Speaker 2>out any features because it just looked black. Someone in

481
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.279
<v Speaker 2>a black suit over there. He said. Initially he thought

482
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:19.480
<v Speaker 2>it was a front end of a moose, but then

483
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:22.880
<v Speaker 2>he's looking and then he saw it two legs and

484
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.960
<v Speaker 2>instantly was like, oh, holy crap. He's thinking to himself

485
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 2>the whole time as he picked up his pace as

486
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:31.279
<v Speaker 2>far as his backtracking goes right, because he has to

487
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:34.079
<v Speaker 2>go around this pinnacle. He didn't want to get caught

488
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.359
<v Speaker 2>in the brush with this thing that close, so he

489
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.279
<v Speaker 2>stayed and open where he could keep a visual sight

490
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:43.279
<v Speaker 2>instead of being caught up in the brush. So he

491
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:46.960
<v Speaker 2>backs up, he said. As he was backing up from

492
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:49.559
<v Speaker 2>where he saw this thing initially, this thing stopped and

493
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.799
<v Speaker 2>was just looking in his direction. He said it had

494
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.599
<v Speaker 2>to have been at least ten foot tall. He said

495
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:58.359
<v Speaker 2>it didn't look overly robust or thick. It looked a

496
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.960
<v Speaker 2>little lanky. Again, it was all black, and he was

497
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:05.079
<v Speaker 2>freaking out a little bit because this thing was there.

498
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 2>And he did mention that when they were flying over,

499
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:10.559
<v Speaker 2>he didn't notice anything, and normally you see a moose

500
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 2>from the plane, easy, a bear from the plane, easy.

501
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:16.279
<v Speaker 2>And he said, when they circled around, checking wind direction

502
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:20.200
<v Speaker 2>for landing, there was no sign of anything, no sign

503
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:23.599
<v Speaker 2>of anything, but the brush is thicks. So he's backing up.

504
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.599
<v Speaker 2>He gets to a point to where as he looks back,

505
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.039
<v Speaker 2>he realizes the planes around the corner, maybe one hundred

506
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and twenty yards away, one hundred and twenty yards to

507
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.720
<v Speaker 2>the corner. Hook around the planes right over there. And

508
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.440
<v Speaker 2>again the whole time he's thinking, Darcy, please have heard that,

509
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 2>and please have people packed up. I don't know what

510
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 2>this thing is doing, because again it was just standing

511
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:44.960
<v Speaker 2>there and he's backing away. He said. He got to

512
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.279
<v Speaker 2>a certain point when he looked over his shoulder again

513
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:50.279
<v Speaker 2>and looked back, the thing was gone, and that really

514
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:52.759
<v Speaker 2>freaked him out. So seeing it was gone, he turned

515
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>around and hauled as fast as he could to get

516
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 2>up to that little pinnacle that point so he can

517
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 2>get around there and get back over the plane, so

518
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:05.880
<v Speaker 2>he said. As he was doing so, he was looking

519
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 2>over his shoulder once in a while. He had to stop

520
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:10.079
<v Speaker 2>one time to catch his breath because he was totally

521
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:13.839
<v Speaker 2>freaking out, panicking out of breath, and he said when

522
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:16.119
<v Speaker 2>he stopped, he was listening, and in between hearing his

523
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 2>self breathe real heavy, he heard the brush moving coming

524
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:23.880
<v Speaker 2>up his direction, just off the bank of the lake,

525
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:27.519
<v Speaker 2>and so he's crap, it's chasing me. He said. It

526
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:29.480
<v Speaker 2>was making a lot of noise, but it didn't sound

527
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.839
<v Speaker 2>like it was progressing very fast. When someone's freaking out,

528
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, So he starts walking slowly again, pistol out.

529
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 2>He's walking backwards again, listening to this sound, trying to

530
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:43.079
<v Speaker 2>catch his breath. He said. As he was going along,

531
00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:46.720
<v Speaker 2>he noticed this thing popping its head up above the

532
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:49.759
<v Speaker 2>brush and then ducking back down, heard movement. It was

533
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a little closer, popped its head up right. So he's

534
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 2>watching this happen right off to his right hand side,

535
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's thinking, shit, I'm gonna have to shoot this thing.

536
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:01.480
<v Speaker 2>It's coming for him. I'm gonna have to shoot it.

537
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Should I stand my ground or keep retreating? And he

538
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.519
<v Speaker 2>decides he's going to continue his retreat. He wanted to

539
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.440
<v Speaker 2>get into visual range of the plane. Hopefully Darcy could

540
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.240
<v Speaker 2>see him and back him up with the bear gun

541
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:14.839
<v Speaker 2>they had over there, which was a shotgun. Right and

542
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.640
<v Speaker 2>again all this is happening. He's got three clients he's

543
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:20.160
<v Speaker 2>got to worry about, he's got his wife over there,

544
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and this thing is coming at him. It wasn't a

545
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.920
<v Speaker 2>full out rush, but it was still coming at him.

546
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:30.440
<v Speaker 2>So he keeps going backwards. He's trying to go as

547
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.079
<v Speaker 2>quick as he can. At one point, he said, he

548
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 2>stopped and he was trying to catch his breath because

549
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:36.839
<v Speaker 2>he was going to pop a shot at it. When

550
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.319
<v Speaker 2>it popped its head up. He said, it was real

551
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:41.119
<v Speaker 2>weird because as soon as he stopped and he cocked

552
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 2>the hammer, it stopped popping up. It was just moving.

553
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:47.839
<v Speaker 2>He could hear it. It was like strategically moving according

554
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 2>to how he felt in the moment. He didn't know

555
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.200
<v Speaker 2>for sure, but he would hear movement quietness for a second,

556
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:56.960
<v Speaker 2>movement quietness, and then movement movement quietness, and he felt

557
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.440
<v Speaker 2>like he was being stocked. And so without it up,

558
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:02.279
<v Speaker 2>he didn't know exactly where it was. So he turned

559
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:05.880
<v Speaker 2>around and ran again, got around the pinnacle, was catching

560
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:09.599
<v Speaker 2>his breath again. Was freaking out heavy. Right now at

561
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:13.720
<v Speaker 2>this point, Darcy did hear the scream. Darcy heard it

562
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:17.480
<v Speaker 2>very well and had everyone by the plane, all their

563
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:20.400
<v Speaker 2>stuff already in there, but she had them staged by

564
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:23.960
<v Speaker 2>the plane, and she had turned it around facing away

565
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.640
<v Speaker 2>from shore, and everyone was waiting there, holding the lines

566
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.920
<v Speaker 2>from the wings and stuff. Darcy said, you guys, wait here,

567
00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:33.519
<v Speaker 2>and she brought the shotgun and she was coming to

568
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:36.519
<v Speaker 2>meet him. He was so thankful when he saw that,

569
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:39.240
<v Speaker 2>but then he was yelling at her, wait there, watch

570
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the brush, wash the brush, because again he came around

571
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:45.039
<v Speaker 2>that pinnacle. He didn't know if this thing was cutting

572
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:47.680
<v Speaker 2>through to cut him off or could potentially ambush her.

573
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:50.519
<v Speaker 2>He didn't know, you know what I mean, because last

574
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:52.640
<v Speaker 2>he saw it it was off to his right, which

575
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.240
<v Speaker 2>would be straight in line with the plane if it

576
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:59.720
<v Speaker 2>was to go just straight north. So he's walking towards us, saying,

577
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.559
<v Speaker 2>keep it not on the bush. There's something out there.

578
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:05.680
<v Speaker 2>There's something out there. Stay tuned for more sasquatch out

579
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:12.599
<v Speaker 2>to see. We'll be right back after these messages as

580
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:17.640
<v Speaker 2>they meet each other, Darcy said. As she was standing there,

581
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:21.079
<v Speaker 2>she kept hearing noise in the brush. She kept hearing it,

582
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.880
<v Speaker 2>but nothing was showing itself right, So all she would

583
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>hear is the brush movement. And then the wind had

584
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:29.839
<v Speaker 2>picked up a little bit so the leaves rustling, it

585
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:32.240
<v Speaker 2>was really hard to make out and pinpoint where that

586
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:36.759
<v Speaker 2>noise was. So Chad meets up with their explains, Hey,

587
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.279
<v Speaker 2>the dark figure, I don't know what the hell is.

588
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.599
<v Speaker 2>We gotta go, and she says okay, So he has

589
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:44.279
<v Speaker 2>her in front of him. Darcy said as she is walking,

590
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.920
<v Speaker 2>there may be seventy yards at this point from the

591
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:52.279
<v Speaker 2>plane and the clients. Right one of the clients is yelling, hey,

592
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:57.279
<v Speaker 2>there's a bear moving over in the brush. Darcy says,

593
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:01.759
<v Speaker 2>I know, stay there, stay there, and so they walk

594
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:05.559
<v Speaker 2>over a quick jog. Really, let's be honest, freaking out,

595
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:08.119
<v Speaker 2>but not trying to show it with the clients. Chad

596
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:09.759
<v Speaker 2>was like, I was trying to keep a brave face

597
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:12.599
<v Speaker 2>for the clients. So they get up to the clients.

598
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.720
<v Speaker 2>The clients hadn't seen nothing. They heard the scream with Darcy,

599
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:17.720
<v Speaker 2>and of course they understood, hey, we don't know what

600
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:20.279
<v Speaker 2>that is. We'll be ready to go. One of the

601
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:23.519
<v Speaker 2>guys was like, that is one odd looking bear. I

602
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:27.000
<v Speaker 2>seen it popped its head up and then drop back

603
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:29.160
<v Speaker 2>down into the brush. It was right over there, and

604
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Chad's just let's get on the plane. Let's load up.

605
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:35.119
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to deal with an aggressive bear. Everyone

606
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:37.960
<v Speaker 2>was loading up in the plane and it pops up again.

607
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:40.759
<v Speaker 2>And one of the women outside of Darcy, that was

608
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:43.279
<v Speaker 2>with this group of three, she's seen it pop up

609
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:46.279
<v Speaker 2>as she's getting into the plane. She says, it doesn't

610
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:48.400
<v Speaker 2>look like a bear. That doesn't look like a bear.

611
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:51.480
<v Speaker 2>And no one's really arguing about it. Everyone's just trying

612
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker 2>to look out the windows of the plane as they're

613
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.240
<v Speaker 2>loading up, trying to look and spot this bear. So Chad,

614
00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:58.720
<v Speaker 2>he has a guy get on or whatever. All the

615
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:01.880
<v Speaker 2>lines are free and whatnot, and he has on chest waiter.

616
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:03.880
<v Speaker 2>So he pushes the plane out a little bit. And

617
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:05.720
<v Speaker 2>as he's trying to do the wind is blowing. So

618
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:08.759
<v Speaker 2>he's screw it. The wind's blowing. It's good in our direction.

619
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll just hop in, fire up, and we'll take off

620
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:14.000
<v Speaker 2>from there. So he gets in, he does this quick

621
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:17.960
<v Speaker 2>pre flight, fires up the motor. It's iling for a minute.

622
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:20.279
<v Speaker 2>He's watching the gauges and all that stuff. And as

623
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.839
<v Speaker 2>he's doing so, he's rubbernecking. He's looking out. He's got

624
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Darcy looking out, he's got the passengers keeping an eye out.

625
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:28.799
<v Speaker 2>He said once he had the plane fired up. He

626
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.200
<v Speaker 2>felt a lot better because he was literally hammered down

627
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>and take off and he said, okay, it's warmed up enough,

628
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:36.839
<v Speaker 2>we're going to be taken off. We'll go to another place.

629
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:39.680
<v Speaker 2>So he takes off, and he takes off heading east

630
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:41.720
<v Speaker 2>right because that's the direction the wind's coming. So he

631
00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:45.079
<v Speaker 2>takes off. He said, once he got up to altitude,

632
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:48.519
<v Speaker 2>he came back around, was buzzing blow, asking the people

633
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:52.279
<v Speaker 2>to take a look, look out. The Darcy says, there,

634
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.079
<v Speaker 2>it is, there, it is. It's by that little pond.

635
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.000
<v Speaker 2>It's by the little pond. And so he circles around.

636
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Because of course he was at the controls and all

637
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the obstructions, he couldn't really see what Darcy was. So

638
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:04.759
<v Speaker 2>he came back around and he was looking out his

639
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:08.440
<v Speaker 2>side as he was making a turn, and he said

640
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:12.079
<v Speaker 2>that one of the people saw it with him take

641
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:16.079
<v Speaker 2>off running hit in the brush and just brush movement right.

642
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:19.880
<v Speaker 2>He asked the guy later, what did you see? And

643
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.279
<v Speaker 2>the guy told him what I saw look like a

644
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:26.640
<v Speaker 2>very large man in a fur jacket running in the bush.

645
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:29.160
<v Speaker 2>What the hell is that? Chad was like, your guess

646
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.039
<v Speaker 2>is as good as mine. I have no idea, and

647
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.640
<v Speaker 2>they left it at that. He circled a couple more

648
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:35.839
<v Speaker 2>times trying to get an eye at it, but it

649
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>was gone. I want to think Chad and Darcy for

650
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 2>sharing that. They ended up stopped doing the guidance thing

651
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:45.440
<v Speaker 2>for medical reasons. Chad had some issues with diabetes that

652
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:48.400
<v Speaker 2>affected his vision a year or two after this, and

653
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:52.319
<v Speaker 2>so he was medically retired from flying. Basically, it was

654
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:56.400
<v Speaker 2>difficult for Chad because he said it was like it

655
00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.160
<v Speaker 2>was like a curse almost, because no sooner than that happened.

656
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:01.279
<v Speaker 2>All of a sudden, he finds he has diabetes, and

657
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:04.359
<v Speaker 2>then shortly after that it affects his vision and stuff,

658
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.359
<v Speaker 2>and it's coincidental. But I could see where it would

659
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:10.639
<v Speaker 2>feel like, oh, Jesus is the catalyst for all bad things,

660
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:13.519
<v Speaker 2>But realistically that probably wasn't the case. I hope not.

661
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I want to thank them for sharing, Thank you guys

662
00:34:16.840 --> 00:36:07.079
<v Speaker 2>for joining me, and we'll catch on the next one

663
00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:10.119
<v Speaker 2>built
