The Old Man & The Bigfoot

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 – running time 10:10
Martin heads to Bigfoot Country to track the elusive beast, teaming up with a cagey old mountain man who proves to be a fierce and invaluable asset.

For untold millenia, the legend of Bigfoot has been whispered around campfires. And now, the legend continues to spread on the internet, at sites like Our Bigfoot, BFRO (The Bigfoot Field Researchers Association), Bigfoot Encounters, and Bigfoot: The Original Monster Truck. On this week's heart-pounding episode of Web Drifter, Martin Sargent journeys behind the websites, deep into the Bigfoot country of Northern California's redwood forests, to seek the hairy truth. There, at the Bigfoot Museum in the tiny but proud mountain town of Willow Creek, Martin meets a fierce old Bigfoot hunter by name of Al Hodson, who gives him tips on how to track one of the giant beasts. Tips that prove invaluable in our hero's life-altering hunt for Sasquatch. After Episode 6: The Old Man & The Bigfoot, Martin, nor the misty forests, shall ever be the same...
