This image also is on one of our favorite Bigfoot posters. See if you see it below in another photo from our 2018 visit.

This classic shirt, seen above, we picked up at this location in 2010, and as you can see were long overdue when we visited in 2018.

This Bigfoot store is on your way to the volcano. When you see this sign, you are there!

Yes, helicopter rides available too.

The Eruption has now Erupted our way to this location and we had a blast, as you can see.

It turns out that Joe (the owner) is a well-known figure in the Bigfoot world, and provides key transportation in this episode:

Finding Bigfoot, Episode: Squatch Wars: USA vs Canada, on Animal Planet

We had been here back in 2010, but for our recent research to build this page, here is how we ended up Finding North Fork Survivors?

While researching Index, Washington – The Home of Harry and the Henderson’s…

we found this link:

seattlemet.com-where-to-find-bigfoot-in-the-Pacific-Northwest

Our thanks to SeattleMet.com and this June 28, 2016 article. Hit the link to see their original article. The third Northwest Bigfoot location shared in the article was “BIGFOOT’S GRAVE.” The 28 foot Bigfoot statue, made of ash, a memorial for the death that took place there in 1980 when Mount Saint Helen’s Erupted, for human life and there are those that say some Bigfoot also. A half buried A-Frame house, was built to be a fishing house by a previous owner. It was finished and then right away the eruption of Mount Saint Helen’s took place, in 1980. A reminder, showing how ash created a new ground-level. The fence in the picture helps, among other reasons, to keep people from falling in.

Thus, the very fitting name of “North Fork Survivor’s Gift Shop.”

The North Fork, is a reference to a nearby river.

If any of you know about this location, please “CONTACT the Eruption,” and tell us about how you heard of it, and your experience there.

If you drive there and see this statue, you have found it!

Half-way up Spirit Lake Highway is this Bigfoot store. Everyone go find it!

Virtual Map of the store:

 

Joe has an original footprint cast from the Patterson and Gimlin footage; from that exact day back on, October 20, 1967.

Joe has met Bob Gimlin. This was like standing next to royalty for our Bigfoot Eruption crew. Notice the poster behind them.

The bottom of the cast is dated and signed by both men.

Joe has much experience in this field. Ask him any Bigfoot question. We witnessed this during our visit, and we listed as he answered questions.

The store is “one of the greats,” as it sells just about every category of Bigfoot merchandise, and it feels very Squatchy.

To conclude we will now share a few of our favorite merchandise picture moments from our visit. Prepare to be amazed.
