Attending a low-funded public high school in one of California’s desert cities, I found myself out of place with the rest of the crowd; I guess I can say that most teenagers around the world feel out of place at some time or another. Hormones I suppose. I felt displaced, so as soon as I got a well paying job after high school I opted to move out and follow my instincts and move to L.A., the city of Lost Angels as they say. Now I’m just as displaced as I was when I was a teenager. Only this time, I’m part of a large crowd that hustles in a large insufficiently funded city. No, I’m not sulking. Just being real.

Displacement can be a blessing for some. But for those whose survival thrive on seclusion and remaining covert, it can spell out certain doom.

Take the recent floods in the United States. When hundreds of acres of unpopulated wilderness are flooded, we see animals being displaced and expect them to run towards civilization for refuge. What about in those states in which Bigfoot has been spotted for hundreds of years? Will we start to see them escaping the floods and seeking drier pastures? Like our front yards?

In a recent CBS News article, Rachel Luffman from the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization) was interviewed about the possibility of Bigfoot being seen by many as it tries to escape the floods.

“They might be venturing into areas where there are more people, and more people might be seeing them.”
“Over the years, we found that it really does seem like sasquatches do tend to use river systems and creeks as roadways,” Luffman said, “They tend to stick close to fresh water and they stick close to those rivers. If the rivers start flooding, they might be moving out of their comfort zone.”

“Out of their comfort zone“…hmm… It’s a sound theory. If Bigfoot really does exist, then it would make sense that the instinct to survive will push the elusive creatures out of the comfort zone of the wilderness and into the comfort zone of suburbia’s soccer mom. Your cul de sac would make a welcoming shelter for a mass of 8-10 feet ape-like creatures. Better bring little Timmy inside.
