Episode 9.4 - Bigfoot & Coffee Talk

Tonight on the show, the guys open the show with a little coffee talk. Friend of the show Terry sent the guys some special coffee all the way from Montana. He mailed Jason and Dan a bag of Hunter Bay's Big Sky Organic Coffee. Dan and Jason continue the podcast talking "Bigfoot" with Amy Bue. **************** Amy Bue—Co-founder of Project Zoobook and member of the Olympic Project Bigfoot Research Team. Head of Amy’s Bucket List Expeditions (ABLE). Former investigator for the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. A reading teacher, writer, and editor from Ohio, Amy Bue became interested in the search for Bigfoot after a possible sighting in Ohio’s Mahoning County in 2012. While her main research areas are in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest and Ohio’s Columbiana County, Amy has traveled to New York State, Kentucky, Oregon, Washington State, West Virginia, and all over Ohio following up leads. Recently, much of Amy’s efforts have been put into her Project Zoobook, a group she co-founded comprised of primatologists, zoologists, anthropologists, and other scientists working alongside Bigfoot researchers from across the country. She was given the International Bigfoot Conference’s 2018 Dedicated Researcher Award for her work with this group. Amy is an active speaker, and has spoken for events and organizations such as Oregon’s Beachfoot, Ohio’s Creature Weekend, several Outdoor Hunting and Fishing Conventions, Ohio’s State Parks’ system, and for the Ohio Division of Wildlife and its Audubon Society. Creekfoot, a well-loved biannual Bigfooting event in Ohio, was created by Amy and her research partner, Tina Sams. Last fall, Amy appeared at such venues as Horror Hound Weekend’s Fact or Fiction Fest in Indianapolis, and at the 2019 Spokane Valley Sasquatch Roundup in Washington State. While in Washington, she participated in the filming of a documentary for Extreme Expeditions Northwest which will be released later this year. In October 2019, she headed up a group of women researchers on an expedition in South Carolina. In November, she spoke alongside the Olympic Project at Washington’s Sasquatch Summit and was featured in the December issue of Squatch GQ magazine. Amy’s plans for this year include trips to research with the Navajo in Arizona and to Alaska’s Prince of Wales Island. As a writer herself, Amy’s articles on the topic have been published in California’s Bigfoot Times and in newsletters as far away as Norway and Australia. She is currently writing a book about Ohio’s Tom Page, one of Roger Patterson’s financial backers and a partner in his adventures. She also writes a Facebook blog under her ABLE: Amy’s Bucket List Expeditions page. In between giving time to those efforts, Amy completed her certification classes through the Ohio State University to become an Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist. She has recently started studying with the Midwest Native Skills Institute, and she plans on using her new survival skills in her continued search for proof of Bigfoot’s existence.
