But I like to say, I'm not, I didn't coin this phrase.

I think, I don't remember who did, but, you know, best case scenario, I have an encounter or find some evidence.

Worst case scenario, I have a good time out in the woods camp, and I can.

Thank you. So we've got an epic show for you guys today.

This is our first time guest.

Well, this is his first appearance on the show.

He's a pro in his own right as far as podcasting goes, as he's the creator and host of Alice Squatch

podcast. Our guest today is Larry Beans Baxter, who is not only a podcaster, but he's an

active researcher as well into the Bigfoot encrypted phenomena. And he is a published author

with his book, Abandon, the History and Horror of Port Chatham, Alaska. And we're going to talk to him now. So let's dive right in. Hey, Beans, welcome to the show, brother. Thank you, man. Thanks for having me. Thanks for Bean here. This is really cool. And I'm really excited to have you on. You and I met, I guess, at Medellene Falls at the conference up there.

But I did listen to you speak up there.

And it was a really fascinating discussion and presentation that you gave.

But I got to ask you, and this is kind of the, it's kind of the generic opener.

But I guess every journey has an origin. But how did you get started

in all this? Was there an event or is just always a, a hobby of yours? Or where did this begin?

I can't say, I mean, I don't think I had a specific origin story. It's something that I've

always, always kind of been interested in ever since I was a kid.
