Day 32 Jim's Farther

    Well we Findlay got to Florence and then we turned left on Hwy 126  headed to our next stop. We went about 14 miles out of town.!!! We came to Maplton and crossed the bridge. This bridge crossed over the Siuslaw River as we crossed over we turned and went east about 1/4 mile, then we turned right on to road 5035. This road ran along the HadSalt Creek. We just stopped Along the road and Mira and Pagie got in my truck. Mira is so funny she said that Pagie and she are playing the ( I see game ) . I asked " What is the I see game ".  Pagie said that to win the game you see who finds the most humans along side the road. Or who finds the frost human in the woods, Wins. Well we are still on road 5035 along HadSalt Creek. Just turned up 4880 as we followed the creek. We turned lift at N.F. road 914 but we stayed on 4880 which went straight and then we turned left and then we went all the way to the end.  This spot is all the way to the bottom of the Canyon and deep in the forest. I just saw some  territory markers these are trees with their roots in the air. Mira and Pagie both started laughing at something. She asked me if I saw the two Big Foots along side the road. I told her that l didn't see anyone. All of a sudden one was standing right in the middle of the road l almost hit him. Then all at once Mira jumped out of the pick up and ran up to the Big Foot and gave him a big hug. Pagie said that it was her cousin that she used to play with up on Mt. Hood. I had no idea that Big Foot Jim lived just out side of Zig Zag ,Or. up on Mt. Hood.  I know this area well as l lived near by in town called Estacada. Mira came back over by the truck and Pagie got out. Then they both took off with her cousin up the hill. Now another Big Foot got in the truck and told me to pull up to the left of the Motor Home.
        Jim  just came over with his sister Carrie and his brother in law Paul. They are both  here  in the  Clan that Big Foot Jim and his sister Carrie's farther started. He passed away about 5 years ago and Carrie's mate Paul became Clan leader. This is the HadSalt Creek Clan, and is a big one. It has about 25 members plus all the kids. Their territory runs from HadSalt Creek to the top of Roman Nose Mt. in the Siuslaw Nat'L Forest  which is 2800 feet tall.  Doug said that his uncle was the Supreme leader of all the Big Foots in the North West at one time. Now Jim is the supreme leader of all the Clans from Washington, Oregon and northern California. Jim and the rest of the Clan are going up to his dad's grave site tomorrow night. But for now everybody is going to a safe house on the side of the Mountain. Paul said that to night we will have a gathering. I watched as they all disappeared into the woods. Iam going to the 5th. wheel now and get some rest.
       Tonight should be a hoot.
