The next morning in Willow Creek, I was excited to get up and start checking out all the sights.
I had spent some of the night doing surveillance out of my cabin window watching the deer grazing outside, hoping they would lure a Sasquatch in.
The town is about a mile wide, from east to west. It basically has a gas station, a few restaurants and 4 Bigfoot statues. They're isnt that many people, but everyone is very cool and they don't have the "Murderous Back-Woods vibe" that you would expect in a town that is so isolated.
 |
| Very Squatchy, even in the daytime. |
For breakfast, we went to the "Bigfoot Restaurant" which was formerly called, "Cinnabar Sams".
 |
| The "Hooters" of Bigfooters" |
 |
| I'll have the Sasquatch Schlong with no Onions, and a side of Yeti pubes. |
Outside of the restaurant across the street is the
famous "Bigfoot Mural" on the side of the Ace Hardware. It's about 60 yards long and show's Bigfoot working alongside the community, like he is the Jimmy Carter of Willow Creek!
 |
| Famous in my mind at least. |
 |
| "Where's Bigfoot?" "He's on Break" |
In front of Ace Hardware they have another statue. This one is an oversized version of the one you see in the "SkyMall" ads on airplanes.
 |
| This one has more of a "Cowardly Lion" hairdo. |
Next up is the world famous "Bigfoot Museum." This is the museum you see in all of the Bigfoot Books and TV Specials. The Smithsonian of Sasquatch History and research.
The museum had been closed for the off season since September, but they opened it for us.
Local Outdoorsman Ed Duggan who writes the Trinity River fishing report was nice enough to give us a tour

| Subtle |
 |
| Bigfoot looks like he has some sort of "Bird Suit" on |
 |
| Bigfoot POV porn. |
 |
| Check out my new boots from "Ross!" |
 |
| My long lost son. Some sort of .. "Turd Boy" |
 |
| I had a special bond with this baby sized Squatch", he was my favorite. |
 |
| Bigfoot toys through the years. |
 |
| Nice touch with the Butterfly. |
 |
| Who the hell is painting portraits of Bigfoot!!? |
 |
| This one says "Nike" on the bottom. |
 |
| Somebody stole the Bigfoot "PlayGirl." |

 |
| Willow Creek was basically built by the Chinese and used to be called "China Flat" |
 |
| Bigfoot Burger was closed for the season. |
 |
| One of the most famous Bigfoot statues in the World... probably. |
 |
| It's been around for a while. |
On a serious note, this town is AWESOME. The people are super friendly and there is a great "Bigfoot Vibe" in the air. If your into this stuff, you should definitely go visit. As much as a global phenomenon that Bigfoot is, the town is very low-key. I really think that people should donate money to the Bigfoot Museum so they can get some TV's in there and some updated exhibits.
Whether you believe in it or not, there is no doubt that Bigfoot is a extremely interesting part of American History, and it should be preserved and showcased well.

Also, if your heading to Willow Creek, I recommend staying at the CoHo Cottages, for a very reasonable rate you can get a great room with a super friendly staff.
