Update:

After a grueling 12-hours+ trip from Tennessee to Ohio, where we drove all night through Kentucky, reaching Portsmouth, Ohio and Dallas Gilbert's home at 6:00 A.M. and accompanied him to one of his research areas and had some interesting activity, including a possible 'Squatch playing peek-a-boo with me and a wood-knock, we made it to Salt Fork State Park around 2:45 EST this afternoon. I ran into a few Bigfooters as well, including Marc Dewerth, Diane Stocking and Joyce Kearney. They are very nice folks (Mark gave me a warm handshake, and Diane gave me a warm embrace). The Dinner is in about a half-hour and the Meet-and-Greet is at 8:00 EST. More developments as they occur.
