Off to the left I see some black things on the mountainside. I pull over in a parking area and stare. They are a long ways off, but I definitely see about ten black things on the mountainside. I don't have binoculars. I'm thinking Bigfoot because I have Bigfoot on the brain — but they look like they are on all-fours.
Cows? Cows way up in the mountain? Where is the farm? Why way up there?
As I drive away I think bears maybe. Do bears hang around in packs of ten? Elk? Are elk black? I didn't see antlers, but I was a long way away.
I just don't know.
The mountains and the woods.
Beautiful. Mystery.

Bigfoot is about a man, Jack Robert King, who leaves his Iowa home to go west, in search of the truth about America.
... from Looking For Bigfoot ...
"They shot down or lasered-down Wellstone's plane and they really did attack their own Pentagon.
I see this and I have zero documentation. I don't care. I have all the proof I need from the glazed look in your eye as you struggle to attach the American flag to your car antenna.
I understand America by watching you.
I know it from growing up in the Midwest of America, from playing baseball and football and riding down the middle of the street with no hands eating an ice cream cone. The strawberry drips on my T-shirt and I don't care. Mom will wash it, clean it up, just as she rinses the blood of a thousand Chileans from her hands. A lemony spray makes everything smell fresh.
I see more than I want to in the referee's face as he prepares the jump-ball toss and the smile of the drive-up teller as she helps another customer.
