As most of you know Squaw Lake in Coos County has a new name, Sru Lake. For the last couple of days the comments on the Perrys’ blog, Bigfoot Ballyhoo, have been about the lake being opened and the plans to stock it with trout. These comments ignited further comments that the lake has never been closed. And one said the lake has been closed off and on for fifteen years. One supposedly in the know, an anonymous writer, said there has never been any “trouble” at the lake, warranting, that is, the lake being closed. The only “trouble” he could think of was that of blue algae in the water and warning signs being posted. 

     Several longtime area residents commented that, indeed, there have always been rumors of problems at the lake and those being bigfoot sightings. One person commented that the Hamilton family sighting of 2008 was nothing more than a pervert staring at the daughter and wife. Buck Hamilton, very upset, shot back a comment that their report did not include any such word as pervert for what was lurking behind a tree, staring at his wife and daughter.

     We know that the late Dale Saxton was included in a research team, Jan. 2009, to determine who was vandalizing the Squaw Lake area. The group met with accidents and illness and so it was called off. Dale Saxton believed the damage was done by a bigfoot that had probably moved on, leaving the area.

    Dale Saxton’s friend and fellow bigfoot researcher, Bill Emery, has been away for most of last week filming a bigfoot program, according to Dale Saxton’s daughter, Mary. Several have asked why he hasn’t commented about the lake being closed or open and whether it is safe or not. Mary wrote that he should be back by Monday and perhaps will comment.

     Several that have commented on Bigfoot Ballyhoo infer that there is more to the site than stated in the mission statement. The mission statement in part reads: Bigfoot Ballyhoo is also dedicated to the wonderment of the animal bigfoot/sasquatch and to the sharing of that wonderment with others. The site is an open forum. Any may submit a comment anonymously as long as it is in good taste and civil. Any good that comes from this site is by the way; we are delighted to be part of the search for bigfoot truth.
