BIGFOOT ROCKS

I did a bit of research on rock stacking and came up many references. Scottish farmers called them Cairns. This ancient phenomenon runs all the way back to ancient Greece. In the mythology of ancient Greece, cairns were associated with Hermes, the god of overland travel. In German and Dutch, a Cairn is known as Steinmann and Stenenman , meaning literally "stone man". Italy, especially the Italian Alps, a cairn is an "Ometto," or a "small man". In the Dorset culture of the north they are known as Inushuk or Inuksuit. Inuksuit may vary in shape and size, and perform a diverse array of tasks. It is a symbol with deep roots in the Inuit culture as well as many cultures around the world. In many cases they are thought of as symbolic of man or directional markers that signify safety, hope and friendship. Obos is a Japanese term for these sackings or pilings of rocks. The practice is ancient and meaningful. There are such things found in and around Bigfoot sighting areas and it is my opinion they hold specific meanings. In many cases they are thought of as a greeting or a way to share information !

It is interesting to know that in many Native American cultures there are also things known as marker trees these too holding specific meanings/ information and as greetings. These "tree markers" found in association with Bigfoot areas may also be related to a sharing of information as well as a type of constructed shelter (see image by Jane Goodall).

I would like to share an opinion for possibly seeing into the lives of these elusive forest people , another geo clue. It is my opinion that the Bigfoot may also be stacking rocks to mark these essential mineral deposits (licks) or maybe even as a primitive greeting. Twenty some years ago when I moved from Snohomish County to Pierce County I had the privilege to be introduced to rock sackings, a phenomena I was totally unaware of. There was a mountain road in the area I now live with hundreds of these stacking, it has since been logged! This puzzled me for the longest time this road is a dead end going basically nowhere; it just wonders up into the woods a logging road. Why would anyone or anything take the time to do such a thing? This road became one of my favorite spots to frequent the view is spectacular and beyond the ridge the forest is old and heavy with life. My home is in the river valley below this place. I started to make my own rock stacking with each stroll to the river, which mind you was quite often for my back yard was an unobstructed access to not just the river but miles upon miles of wilderness. Why one could literally take off from my back door and not hit civilization until you reach the other side of the mountains (Cascades). I have a place out there a private beautiful place that I consider my home away from home. Year after year I and my children have constructed rock stackings here and each year the rising waters take the stackings with them. It was only a few years ago when I happened upon some very unusual stackings a bit further down river. They are made with large heavy rocks and have sticks weaved in and against them. Although balanced they were not symmetrical like mine. I find them to be quite intriguing and study them often. I consider them a gift and feel very fortunate to have the extended period of time to study them .

Again it is my opinion that these stackings may be a primitive way to mark or show direction to require and necessary dietary supplementations as well as a greeting of sorts. Could the common link POTASSIUM (rubidium)? After years upon years of research, I would say yes.(see photo) One of the best sources of organic potassium is Granite. Yes, Granite/Potassium, everyone knows that apes love bananas and bananas are rich in Potassium. Not saying that the Bigfoot are monkeys/apes, I do think they are man-like, human.

GRANITE! This may be how Bigfoot gets amongst other things it's Potassium. Primates/ apes are monogastric animals with similar dentition to humans. Vitamin C and vitamin D supplementation is required. Potassium also requires supplementation. (Please know Rb serves as a potassium substitute in many species plant & animal alike.) Although potassium deficiencies are rare amongst nonhuman primates, we must take into account the habitat in which they live and the kinds of vegetation accessible to them. Potassium/Rd can be found in many plants, such as, mushrooms, lichen, kelp, Irish moss, parsley, apricots, figs, sunflower seeds, wheat germ, almonds, dates, raisins, bananas, nuts and dandelions. Sea salt is a good source of potassium/ rubidium and in places such as Florida this may very well be one of the Bigfoot/Skunk apes potassium sources. Year round access to potassium rich plants my be difficult in colder climates, therefore supplementation is acquired from granites rich in k feldspar. In places such as Ohio, where soils are low in nutrients, the water may be a good source of potassium/ rubidium. Ohio's water in many places is 5 to 8 times the norm in potassium levels: The soils being mostly an organic soil (Bog) dose not retain nutrients well. As much as 25% of the available potassium may be leached Out from late fall to early spring. There are many sources of potassium (Rb) available to the Bigfoot .Mapping these sources , according to each unique environment, will greatly aid in the future research of these magnificent ,elusive, creatures. Rubidium is commonly used as a substitute for potassium in both plants and animals. K-feldspar + Rubidium for (Rb-K)-feldspar Rubidium is far too reactive to be found as the free metal in nature. It is relatively rare, although it is the 16th most abundant element in the earth's crust. Rubidium is present in some minerals found in North America, South Africa, Russia, and Canada. It is found in some potassium minerals (lepidolites, biotites, feldspar, and carnalities)
