    Default Bill's searches for the Wawa Grande (Ecuador's Bigfoot)

    .
    Hello, All --

    Some of you may have seen this interesting thread, about the Ecuadorian version of Bigfoot. He's called Wawa Grande (translation: 'Big Baby' ).
    Some of you may also have been part of this little fun trip, a couple of years ago:
    That ended up being The Avalon Grid (a network of crystals planted around the world) -- video here -- but started off as Mara's Big Walk (video here, recommended!), ending up at a very remote high point, on an unnamed nearly-14,000 ft mountain, where I built a little cairn (a pile of rocks, a kind of monument), and deposited the names and printed forum Avatars of over 30 Avalon members who wanted to share the journey.

    Okay, so here's another trip.

    Jean-Marie, who came to visit me a couple of weeks ago, and I planned to go up to the very remote area where the Wawa Grande has been sighted. That's here: (the red circle shows the nearest access point from the road, and the brown area is everything above 4200 meters/ 13,750 ft)



    But we never made it: Jean lives near sea level, and was only here for a few days, so the high altitude was too much for the longer period of acclimatization needed. (We went camping up at 11,500 ft instead, and even that proved a little challenging in terms of the cold and the very thin air.)

    However, Jean left with me the gifts she had brought for the Wawa Grande, Joan Ocean style... here:



    * The two necklaces are Eastern Band, American Cherokee Indian. One of necklaces is the Indian corn, trail of tears. The other necklace is American Indian seed beads from Cherokee, North Carolina. The coral Jean acquired on Lido Beach, Sarasota, Florida and the crystal wands are Selenite.)


    So next Thursday, 6 October -- a window when the weather may be ideal -- I'm going to head up there with Mara the , fast and light, with a dawn start, just for the day.



    I'll look for a prominent place, like a large flat rock, to lay out the gifts. And I'll build another little cairn, and deposit in a little waterproof container the names and Avatars of anyone reading this who'd like to say Hi and extend their peaceful good wishes to the creature.

    Then... I'll return in a few weeks' time and see if the gifts are still there.

    No people ever go up there... it's ridiculously remote: very high, no people, no trails, no nothing. This is an area where few people have been. And any other large animals in the habitat (llama, alpaca, deer, puma) wouldn't be interested in the offerings at all.

    So, that's my intention. Who would like me to print, take, and leave their Avatars there in the Wawa Grande cairn?

    I think my current dogs Bruno (Rot mix) and Frodo (Yellow Lab) would enjoy an adventure with Mara after an appropriate rest.

    Me too please Bill, good luck and an umbrella of care over youself and Mara, 'marra' is dialect in Cumbrian for friend, and is used daily, as in "is't thee awreet marra?"
    The Cumbrian dialect is heavily norse, due to Vikings etc. Norwegians visiting understand us very well.
    Please don't take any risks, as we need you here ❤️

    Hi Bill & best wishes, the location you visit has a history so that is in favor plus the remoteness. Is there a spot near your home that would be conducive to return on a repeated basis? It seems like some of the researchers that are doing this have had success in going to habituation sites or creating one using food gifts. Im sure the idea of hiking up there has other reasons and also simply to hike and have fun...
