Sasquatch Needs Love Too..

A seldom seen 'documentary' hit the theatres long about 1972 called 'The Legend of Boggy Creek',chronicling the misadventures of a lone Sasquatch that had been observed in and around the town of Fouk,Arkansas.
I was stationed at Fort Riley,Kansas,at the time,so dont'cha know a few buddies and I decided to take a road trip over a three day weekend to try and track the critter down.
Oh,..we had no expectations of actually running into His Hirsuteness,but we were young and dumb,with time on our hands,and a respectable cache of beer and weed to facilitate the search.
Quite naturally,Sasquatch was out of town that day,but we did get to enjoy some of the most stunning scenery on God's green Earth.
If you're ever in the neighborhood of The Lake of the Ozarks,it's well worth the time to stop in,and soak up some genuine primal beauty!
..I can see why Sasquatch likes to hang out.

In any case..

The movie itself was memorable for it's haunting title song.
The music is exquisite,and the poetry,decidedly poignant...Really.

'Perhaps he dimly wonders why,
there is no other such as I,
to touch,to love,before I die.
To listen to my lonely cry'..

..That stuff gets me every time.

Remove the whole Sasquatch premise from the equation if you need to, (I don't),..and enjoy!
