Honobia Bigfoot Conference and the Honoring America's Warriors Join Forces

This past weekend (July 10th and 11th 2015) the Honobia Bigfoot Conference, Kiamichi Mountains Christian Mission, and the Honoring America's Warriors joined forces to introduce veterans from all over Oklahoma to Bigfoot.  The Honobia Bigfoot Conference staff were contacted by the Executive Director & Co-Founder Scotty Dee to obtain contact information for a "Bigfoot Guide".  This information was passed onto one of our staff members Troy Hudson. Both Hudson and Dee began a communication trail that led them to host their event at Christ 40 acres and to conduct a mini-Bigfoot Conference for the veteran organization. This idea was met with excitement and eager anticipation that would not knowing anyone would lead to a great partnership not only between the veteran's organization, but the community of Honobia and everyone involved. This Bigfoot event just didn't stop with Bigfoot. Hudson had reached out to one of his contacts in law enforcement and came up with the idea that some of the veterans, veteran's family, and anyone within the Honobia area would be interested in taking the State of Oklahoma Self-Defense Act (Concealed Handgun Class) that too was a great opportunity for everyone involved to bond and create friendships.

The weekend started on Friday (July 10th) some started to arrive early and get things set up. Hudson took a few out for them to see some of the Honobia valley and some of the areas where they would be going at night. First thing out of the weekend that proved to be worth the idea of coming to Honobia is fresh (hours old) bear tracks were observed up on the ridge where the Bigfoot expeditions some times take place.

 

 

 

Later that evening several more of the veteran's group started to arrive, they had dinner and organized their night time outing with several on ATV's and some in 4x4 vehicles. They set off for the mountains, organized in semi-military fashion patrols, they base-camped on top of a ridge. Most of the night was coyote calls being heard and brief but (only few heard) very low growl heard near one f the groups. They turned in early since Saturday was going to be a full day and night of events.

 

Saturday was up and early for breakfast and lectures. Honobia Bigfoot Staff member Troy Hudson spoke on local history and Native American culture/legends of the Bigfoot. Professor Marvin Leeper (Murray State College) also gave a presentation on local legends and folklore that are related to Bigfoot.

 

 

 

 

Lunch was followed by OSBI (Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Certified CHL Instructor)

David Mauk of Coal County, gave an outstanding class on handgun safety and state/federal laws pertaining to concealed handgun possession.

 

 

 

 

Saturday's night time events was rather interesting to say the least. Several people observed tall human shaped figures moving about the tree lines and several unexplained vocalizations were heard. A new style glow stick (mini-flashlight combo) was placed in a low hanging tree branch 150-yards down the road from the main group. This glow stick has a off and on-button, it has three stages of light patterns the stick makes. Several times the group observed the stick being turned off, there is no auto-on and off for this type of glow stick. There are no immediate answers on how the glow stick was turned off. Several members walked down to the stick and turned it back on, note as said before there are three stages of the patterns the stick makes. So it is not like it just accidently turned off. It has to be cycled through one of the patterns before the light will go off completely.  Some of the grouped returned to base camp and some remained behind. The few (7 staying behind) observed a few rocks being thrown within feet of some of the group. All in all a group night for meeting new friends and building camaraderie between the veterans and the community of Honobia.

 

Sunday was Church service and breakfast. Everyone said their good-byes and future events between the KMCM and Honoring America's Warriors has been established.
