Lair of the Beasts: Monster Hot-Spots 

It is one thing to receive reports of a strange creature – whether Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, or the Chupacabra – seen in one particular locale. But it’s quite another thing entirely to get multiple reports of several different unidentified beasts from one clearly delineated area!

The (New) Great American Road Trip 

Hey folks. Allow me to apologize for the lack of frequent posting here but I'm on a big road trip so my computer access has been off and on and I've been busy enjoying myself. I'm heading west and investigating strange and mysterious phenomena as I go, hopefully to write a book about my adventures. I managed to write a couple columns for Big Think as I moved along. Here's my first:

The (New) Great American Road Trip

And while in Denver I wrote an article about the innovative farming project at the Denver Green School.

Denver Green School seeds new innovation – growing their own food

Check them out if you are so inclined.

I'm pulling out of Casper, Wyoming, today and will be heading to Douglas, home of the Jackalope, and then into the Pedro Mountains to look into the Nimerigar, the legendary (and violent) little people of Shoshone legend. Hopefully, I won't get a tiny arrow in my butt. I'll post again when I reach civilization. Until then, check out the links and I hope this finds you well.
