Much appreciation to Mark Jutson, a Bigfoot Times reader, who kindly past on the following notes about his visit to the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma, Washington, just recently.
Mark Justson: "Giants In The Mountains, The Search for Sasquatch, a current exhibit at the Washington State History Museum, Tacoma Washington running through June 27, 2010.
Located up on the 5th floor, visitors are presented with a dozen or so thoughtfully assembled exhibits that offer insight and a better understanding of many of the historical and physical elements that are cornerstone in the search for Sasquatch.
Along an intriguing impressionistic tribal display there's a section devoted to that which certainly few would deny as the Northwest's greatest legacy, its ancient forests. Amongst the displays drawing my interest was an impressive and thought invoking presentation of skull comparisons and one offering an assemblage of infamous Bigfoot track castings. While visitors wandered through stopping to view each exhibit and read the accompanying material others could be seen intently viewing a looping copy of the film the "Sasquatch Odyssey" starring the familiar four horseman of Sasquatchery (Peter Byrne; Rene Dahinden; John Green and Dr. Grover Krantz).
As you review the provided exhibit images and descriptions please note that I've intentionally left a few out including one that I found myself returning to several times, that of a tree branch "twist-off", very intriguing indeed. While much of what is presented could be considered basic to many in the Bigfoot world, this outdoorsman, amateur naturalist and Bigfooter found my time spent there to be most enjoyable. To that, I want to thank those at the Washington State History Museum and all the other sponsors responsible. The exhibit while small in footprint left a big impression, I hope this entices fellow interested parties to come have a look for themselves."

Rather than ask a very biased editor, Daniel Perez, as to whether you should get a subscription to the Bigfoot Times newsletter, NOW is your opportunity to ask an unbiased reader of the newsletter to see what he might tell you on the matter. Is it timely? Is it worth it? Is it relevant? Is is just repetitive information that you can find on the web for free? Is it well researched? Is it professional?
