1:00PM Sasquatch Presentation By Barbara Shupe
Barb Shupe Cascade Mountains After 40 years of living and working in a small community in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, Barbara has come to know the local Sasquatch and has built a situation of mutual trust with them. In 2013, Barbara created the You-Tube channel, Squatchin’ with Barb & Gabby, where she shared her weekly progress with habituation.
