Sat.18.Mar.2000 -- Left Forestville [Russian River valley]. No UFO / NWO / NSA activities observed -- they're very well-disguised. Camped [parked RV] atop muddy ridge adjacent to microwave relay tower above Clear Lake. Other radio / radar / µwave facilities nearby - guards not apparent, but...? Strange, energetic EMF beamed at us but WE FELT NO FEAR! Splendid views of Clear Lake, Sutter Buttes, Sierras.

Sun.19.Mar.2000 -- Left 'Radio Facility' butte, traveled along secluded backroads up Inner Coast Ranges. Very little traffic. Blinding lights flashed at us, be we continued. Observed strange conical structure above Bear Vly. Observed crashed UFO [USA markings] guarded by what appeared to be bovine units, near Ladoga. Unsettling: fenceposts topped with coyote skins topped with hats... Skirted unknown facility at Chrome, re-provisioned in Red Bluff, headed into the legend-fraught snow-capped Yolla Bolly mtns.

Mon.20.Mar.2000 -- Definite Sasquatch presence on Tomhead Mtn [east edge of Yolla Bollys] -- at least one approached camp but refused Yeti lure. Perfect weather -- splendid views of Trinity Alps, Shasta, Lassen etc. No UFO activity observed. Cat is hyperactive -- dog is cowed. Atmosphere is expectant. Anything can happen...

Tue.21.Mar.2000 -- Leaving Tomhead Mtn, chased suspected Sasquatch down road [west on USFS #35] but it escaped when we were blocked by fallen tree. Dejected, we headed downhill/east [sighted javelina clan, flock of half-a-hundred wild turkeys] then north on Vestal Rd, forded several strong streams [Cottonwood Creek, Salt Creek, Dry Creek -- nearly swept away in multiple crossings of latter]. Passed Beegum, Knob, Peanut, Hayfork. Re-provisioned at Weaverville, had electrical trouble fixed, proceded past Trinity Alps Rd for next Bigfoot rendezvous.

Wed.22.Mar.2000 -- At unnamed lake in Trinity Alps: possible UFO activity? Definite Sasquatch presence -- huge primate / hominid (??) footprint at edge of muddy stream, footprint 20in/50cm long!! Possible ET tracks adjacent to Bigfoot print.
Note: ET trail crossing, similar to crossings sacred to Janus Quadrifons, 4-faced god of crossroads -- but why the feathers at the junction? What sacrificial rituals were enacted here? What saeculae find their terminus at this particular here/now locus?

Thu.23.Mar.2000 -- Hydra-oid forms seen within lake -- spawn of Cthulhu? Vast chem-trail across sky -- why here? Why all this activity centered at 41N-123W?
Later -- Now forced by circumstance to a lower elevation. More electrical troubles -- why? Repaired at creepy old facility in eerily hushed Lewiston, where tales were told of a 'Lewiston Witch' but -- NO WAY!! We won't be enticed into THAT Project! Lower still: rushing creeks, a lonely gravesite, an abandoned mine shaft -- or is it? No answers, only more questions...

Fri.24.Mar.2000 -- Below Sasquatch range now, but more energy in the atmosphere, positively charged, ions careening madly across the sky. Last night the stars were so bright, ominous... strange sighs of too-warm springtime wind over the ridges... low moanings up the canyon... and SOMETHING crawled across the Peltier Bridge around midnight.

FACE?
Later -- Oddly-fractured rocks abound, with what look like inscriptions and... drawings. Is this really an ET face? Who is depicted? Who incised these marks? What primeval confrontations are recorded in these hillsides? What hidden histories lie silently beneath our gaze, awaiting our attention, to reveal their awful chronicles? How much is real, and how much has been manipulated, planted, brought before us to distract us from matters of even more import? How can we tell?

Sat.25.Mar.2000 -- A hot, steep climb brought us to the Mount Shasta Mine -- all evidences of alien activity and ghastly ritual sacrifices have been carefully erased, yet the scene was eerily, unnaturally quiet. Then, as we passed a cemetary, a phalanx of uniformed agents fired their rifles, volley after volley after volley - we hastened away, leapt in the RV and fled.

SASQUATCH!

The return-trip south through mountains, foothills and valleys was interminable, exhausting -- at any moment, we half-expected some Force to block our way, yet somehow we prevailed, althought the terribly high fuel costs left us in dire financial straights. And on that exodus I finally captured a image of a gigantic menacing bellowing Sasquatch, towering in the dusk over a hushed house near a lake, I dare not say where, but not far from Middletown.

Yet despite this apparent successful attainment of our quest -- after all, our goal for this journey WAS to locate Sasquatch -- we felt curiously unrewarded and unsettled, unsatisfied and unresolved. Is this all there is? What lies beyond this veil of illusion, but more veils, more illusions? We must quest ever onward...

Sun.26.Mar.2000 -- Back amongst the brooding giant redwoods of the coast, the world seemed much more sane, the journey nearly over. Yet, can any journey ever be truly said to be over? The quest continues always. The Truth Is Out There... And just as we thought that life could return to some semblance of normalcy, we witnessed a coordinated attack by birds, and an alien abduction! Will this never end?!? How long will humanity continue to suffer these traumas?!? WHEN WILL WE RESIST?!?

ABDUCT!

Note: All images in this journal were shot in Northern California during the period 18-26 March 2000 on a JVC GR-DV1 miniDV camcorder. Images were transferred from camcorder to computer [an old Compaq 1210 laptop] using GrabIt! at 240x360 resolution. Minor image processing was performed using JASC PaintShopPro 6.01. Thumbnails have been processed for presentation; click on'em to see linked enlargements. Linked images are unretouched, except that vertical images may have been rotated. No image elements were added or deleted. What you see is what was there. --Ric Carter
