Countdown to Oregon Sasquatch Symposium: T-Minus 5 Days

All week we are celebrating and counting down to the Oregon Sasquatch Symposium


From the Oregon Sasquatch Symposium website:

Join us in the beautiful and cozy Willamette Valley this weekend as we kick off the first annual "OSS" Oregon Sasquatch Symposium in Eugene, Oregon. This event will be held at Lane Community College in the Forum Hall. Seating is limited, and tickets are sure to go fast once they are released.

The event was originally formed to unite Oregon researchers within the same venue to share information about what they have going on, basically in their own backyard. The Sasquatch phenomena is, of course, not only an Oregon experience, but given the history of this beautifully forested state, our Sasquatch is as much a part of our culture as the Douglas Fir trees that surround it.

The 19th of June will be a day when long-term witnesses and enthusiasts share their personal Sasquatch encounters at the OSS.

The 20th of June will be the day expert testimony takes front and center stage . Although not every attendee will be from our own Oregon backyard, we are still delighted to invite them into the shadows of our majestic forests. So far, all is looking fantastic as to the forecast for the 20th lineup. Maybe it is our little known saying that has got everyone so on board. "Oregon, will treat ya so many ways, your bound to love one of em"!

Oregon Sasquatch Symposium Booth at Sasquatch Brew Fest

We have received news that Toby Johnson, leader of the Oregon Sasquatch Symposium, and David Rodriguez, one of the speakers, will be attending a booth at The Sasquatch Brew fest in Eugene

The brew fest is named after Glen "sasquatch" Hay Falconer. A famous northwest home brewer known for brewing legendary batches of microbrew.

Formed at the request of the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation, the Northwest Legends Foundation continues the legacy and memory of Glen Falconer by assuring that the Sasquatch Brew Fest continue as a showcase of not only craft brewing, but the educational and community spirit envisioned by all who knew Glen.

The Northwest Legends Foundation will invoke the spirit of the legendary Sasquatch (Glen’s nickname) and the memory of Glen Falconer, known as one of the most talented and popular brewers in Eugene, by furthering the art of home brewing through the support of the people who brew craft-brewed beer in their home, and by continuing the financial support of the brewing scholarships and the good works of the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation.

Who is David Rodriguez

David Rodriguez will be a guest speaker at the Oregon Sasquatch Symposium. An excerpt from his bio page below.

David Rodriguez is a 52 yr old Oregon resident who has had a number of encounters with sasquatch over the last 32 years of his life. Dave is self employed and has taken on a variety of community projects over the decades. He is also an avid outdoorsman and hunter.

His first visual encounter of a Sasquatch occurred in 1977 in Yosemite National Park where he and his then roommate almost ran into one late at night while it was crossing the road in front of his vehicle. His most recent "major" encounter was while deer hunting in the Cascades 5 yrs ago late one afternoon, when a Sasquatch came crashing through the timber to cut him off. He and his German Shepherd then had to approach the "individual" within a distance of 22' in order to pass. Dave calmly spoke to the "individual" even though he admits to never being so scared in his life. Despite having numerous other encounters, and more than once with rifle in hand, Dave has long avoided getting involved in the research end of the field until 3 years ago. After twice being within 25' of a Sasquatch, Dave now takes his visual and non visual encounters in stride. He looks forward to his growing ability to stay calm during what are still rare but amazing encounters with this mysterious species.

Rodriguez has a great report entitled "Snow Loading an Alternate and Major Cause of Tree Breaks." While some may incorrectly assume from the title, Rodriguez is discrediting tree breaks as a possible tell-tale sign of Sasquatch behavior. This is simply not true. Rodriguez is doing all field researchers a favor, by giving us insight into how to differentiate types of tree breaks, especially those found in lower elevations.

The report can be read here, it is thorough, complete and has great graphics to illustrate his points.



The best thing about this report is David Rodriguez, he's not afraid to tell Bigfooters things Bigfooters may not want to hear. He is sensitive to the passion of Bigfooters, but honest enough to provide information that can only make us all better Bigfoot researchers.

We salute you David.
