Bigfoot in the Boundary Waters?

Popular Sasquatch-tracking blog Cryptomundo links today to footage shot in Ely back in January. On the video (original and close-up), a big hairy biped staggers through a snowy ditch in the wee hours of the morning.

Um, that's not a Sasquatch. That's a geocacher.

The fact that a Sasquatch-tracking blog even exists really, truly makes my day.

That's no sasquatch. That's a bleeping gorilla. Known to frequent Ely during the winter months. Sheesh, I can't believe you people can't tell the difference.

Correction, Bleeping's Gorillas generally frequent the Apostle Islands during their winter mating season.

That's a Timber Monkey.

I thought it was one of those hunt for the Medallion in the St. Paul Winter Carnival.

"Damn....thought for sure it would be under the tree."

First, what is this guy doing at 4:30 AM with his video camera? Smells like a hoax to me. The image is indistinct enough.

To me it looks like a guy in a bear suit, but what do I know?

I wonder if Ely has a larger per capita alcohol consumption rate than the Yukon Territory.

I went to high school with Bigfoot. He was from Ely, so he was probably visiting family up there.

I keep waiting for him to show up on Reunion.com so I can drop him a note to see how he's doing, but it hasn't happened yet. He never shows up at class reunions. I think it's because he got teased a lot in 10th grade.
