Friends of Skamokawa presents Robert Michael Pyle, "Where Bigfoot Walks; Crossing the Dark Divide." An author reading and book signing will be held Saturday October 14, 7:00 p.m., at the Skamokawa Resort Conference Center located behind the Skamokawa General Store, 1391 SR 4.

A flurry of excitement has been filling the airwaves, publication shelves, and websites over this long-awaited reissue of "Where Bigfoot Walks; Crossing the Dark Divide," published by Counterpoint Press, August 1, 2017. This handsome new edition is updated with fresh experiences, research, and findings.

Reviews:

"The newly reissued Where Bigfoot Walks by Robert Michael Pyle is a spectacular, moving, and witty narrative exploration of not only the phenomenon of Bigfoot, but also the human need to believe that something is out there beyond the campfire, and that wildness remains as well." – Counterpoint Press.

"Splendidly lyrical and just as splendidly crusty, Where Bigfoot Walks is the sort of book Thoreau might have written if he had discovered giant footprints of an unknown origin in the vicinity of Walden Pond." -Lawrence Millman, author of Our Like Will Not Be There Again: Notes from the West of Ireland, Last Places.

Robert Michael Pyle is the author of 18 books, including Wintergreen, Rambles in a Ravaged Land, Chasing Monarchs, The Thunder Tree: Lessons from an Urban Wildland, Sky Time in Gray's River: Living for Keeps in a Forgotten Place, and the recent poetry collection Evolution of the Genus Iris. A Yale-trained ecologist and a Guggenheim fellow, he is a full-time writer living in Grays River.

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet the author, get books signed and support the Friends of Skamokawa Foundation.
