Summary

During the summer of 2016, tonight’s guest, John, worked in Ketchikan, Alaska, for several companies that hosted excursions for cruise ship passengers. Ketchikan is on Revillagigedo Island. Revillagigedo Island is an island in the southeastern region of Alaska. While working for those companies, John helped to lead Jeep tours, hiking tours, whale watching tours, etc. Toward the end of that summer, he and 6 guys he worked with decided to go to a nearby island, for a camping trip. The island they went to is called Betton Island, which is right off the coast of Revillagigedo Island.

Up until the moment when a Sasquatch approached him and stood about 1 foot away from his head, John didn’t believe in the existence of Sasquatch. In fact, whenever his dad, who does believe in their existence, would start talking about them, John thought he was being silly. The problem with that line of thinking is, how can a creature that doesn’t exist vibrate the ground, as it walks up to you and stands inches away from your face? If you listen to tonight’s show, you’ll hear John give a play by play on the night that very thing happened to him.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is John. I worked in Ketchikan, Alaska during the summer of 2016. I stayed there
0:12.0	for about five and a half, six months, where I stayed and I worked for not necessarily
0:19.9	cruise companies that would come into port, but the companies that hosted the excursions
0:26.3	into the wilderness, quote unquote, wilderness, into Ketchikan, Alaska. So I would do jeep tours,
0:34.0	I would do canoeing tours, hiking tours, well-watching tours, and hiking tours. And some of those
0:40.4	were combined into different fun excursions that we would do. They would last about six hours of
0:47.2	peace. We'd bring the tours back, get onto the boat. I'll say that when I first got there,
0:54.5	didn't believe in Sasquatch. I had no idea. Anytime my dad would talk about Sasquatch,
1:01.4	you know, he would joke about, you know, he believes in Sasquatch and I would just think it's silly.
1:06.0	The silliest thing you could possibly imagine. But, you know, getting up there, the Ketchikan is
1:12.0	on the island of Rabilika Gato. So it's an island about the size of Rhode Island, the state.
1:18.8	You could kind of imagine that if, you know, a large animal didn't want to be seen,
1:24.5	that's where you would go, right? But I still didn't believe in it. Nevertheless,
1:31.1	we worked all throughout the summer. And towards the end of the summer, it kind of slows down
1:37.2	our excursion slowdowns. We have less ships in court. And there are some days throughout the summer
1:42.8	where we didn't have any ships in court at all. So it was our vacation day. Those are
1:48.0	the days that we can go hiking, we can go camping, we can do whatever we wanted to do.
1:52.9	And so we got a bunch of our co-workers together and we decided to go camping on a little
1:58.5	islanding Betten Island off of larger island Rabilika Gato. I would say that this island is
2:05.3	the size of a small city. It at least has the footprint of that. Though it's a big island,
2:11.0	but it's not big enough to host a lot of large animals. So I worked on that island,
2:18.8	that's where we did a lot of our tours. But we knew that bears were on the island. So we were
