Update 2:

I had dinner with several folks (John Cartwright, Joyce Kearney, Tom Lancaster, Billy Willard, Creature Seeker, Diane and Donna Stocking (twins) and Shboom2). Then, we went to the Meet and Greet, and I got to meet Eric Altman finally, as well as see M.K., met Don, Dr. Meldrum, met Don Monroe, and ran into old friend Bob Daigle. I also got several autographs and bought two shirts for the Conference. I also went out to listen for calls about a mile from here with several folks, including Eric, the Stocking twins, the Seeches, the Frick Brothers and several other folks. We heard nothing more than a deer snort and several birds. More updates later today, and photos will be forthcoming soon.

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.
