BIGFOOT Continued from page 1A another. A minute and a half later, one more. Unsettled, he didn't turn around, he said, and drove his quad-runner back to his home. The rocks couldn't be hurled by humans, he said. Ken's brother was visiting at the time, and he was convinced of what it was: Bigfoot. "We know that there's something going on," said Tom Biscardi, CEO and founder of Searching for Bigfoot Inc., in a telephone interview. Biscardi was alerted to Ken's story by his publicist, who had heard it from Ken's doctor. Biscardi, based in Redwood City, has been hunting the more than 8,000 Bigfoots he says are roaming the country for more than 40 years. He's produced, directed or written such films as Hoax of the Century and Bigfoot Lives 2. Biscardi and three others rumbled to the remote area of Ken's property Friday in a Dodge Ram 1500 pickup hauling a conspicuous trailer with the words "Here Comes The Bigfoot Hunter" on its side.

But Deborah Penaflor said the knife and water bottle somehow got lost in the fall. She had no further details. Still, he had his rifle, and he was able to make use of it to kill squirrels to sustain him while he awaited rescue. He also was near a source of water in a nearby truck's license plate reads "BGF00T9." The crew planned to stay at Ken's property for about three days, but ended up only staying a night. Biscardi said his pickup got a flat when roaming the beach area on Saturday, and to compound his problems, his back went out. The crew went back to town, but not before showing Ken a partial footprint that belonged to something big, and came from the sandy area near the creek. Ken maintains that this whole ordeal is just "creepy." But he also said it's like solving a puzzle. Each incident taken on its own isn't much to fret about, but together? Creepy. There was something Biscardi's crew didn't tell Ken about, for fear that he wouldn't take it well. After baiting areas with sardines and peanut butter 10 feet off the ground (the smell of sardines attracts Bigfoots, and they love peanut butter), the crew set up hitech thermal imaging cameras and waited for nightfall. "We had seen something large walk up like a man," Biscardi said, adding that the thing was traversing a hill. Asked if it could have been something other than a Bigfoot, drainage. To stay warm, Gene Penaflor made small fires and packed leaves and grasses around his body. When it rained or snowed, he crawled under a large log and managed to stay dry, authorities said. ''He knew at some point he was going to die, but he figured he'd last as long as he could,'' sheriff 's Detective Andrew Porter told the Ukiah Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/1ekjENg ). The sheriff 's office said an initial search Shania Twain announces 2014 Las Vegas show dates LAS VEGAS (AP) — Shania Twain has added another 15 dates to her Las Vegas performing calendar. Tickets for shows scheduled from Jan. 22 to Feb. 15 go on sale Friday. The country superstar already has performances of ''Shania: Still the One'' set through October and into November to round out her first full year at Caesars Palace. The five-time Grammy winner known for hits such as ''Any Man of Mine'' and ''That Don't Impress Me'' made her debut last December shortly after parading down the Las Vegas Strip on horseback. Her show features trained horses, a live band and a flying motorcycle. It's set at the Colosseum, home to fellow Canadian songstress Celine Dion. 7A such as a bear, Biscardi ruled that out, saying bears don't walk more than 15 feet on their hind legs unless they're fighting. Plus, they'd be hibernating. It's the right time of year for Bigfoot sightings in the area as it's the migration period for the "unknown primates," Biscardi said. He admits he's never captured a Bigfoot, but has made several sightings. "Pictures mean (expletive) to me," he said. Biscardi said he won't be satisfied until he's dragging a Bigfoot up and down Main Street. "I want to prove to the world that it exists," he said. Asked what would happen if he didn't capture one Biscardi said, "I'll be dead." The Brooklyn native said he's assembling his A-team to make a trip back to the area in west Tehama County. In the meantime, Ken continues to operate a word-of-mouth hunting lodge on his property, where wild boar, deer and bears roam the area. And now, "Bigfoot," he said, laughing. involving several agencies was called off when a storm was on its way and there was no sign of the missing hunter. The family returned to San Francisco dejected. ''We were depressed,'' Deborah Penaflor said. ''We were walking his dog and hoping the search would start up again.'' The search was reactivated Saturday, and a group of hunters found Gene Penaflor when someone in the group heard a voice calling for help from the bottom of a canyon. He was found about 3 miles from where he had disappeared. The family returned north to aid in the search late last week. They distributed missing persons flyers around the area hoping other hunters would be on the lookout. When they heard he'd been found alive, they rushed to the mountain to meet him.

Shutdown enforcement in Oregon varies by agency TRAIL, Ore. (AP) — Whether you can access closed outdoor recreation sites in Southern Oregon depends on which federal agency is in charge. Crater Lake National Park is strictly enforcing its closure, but the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is paying little attention to kayakers who duck under a locked gate to gain access to the Rogue River below Lost Creek Dam, The Mail Tribune reported (http://bit.ly/1gEKJNr). Enforcement also varies by national forest. At Diamond Lake on the Umpqua National Forest, signs informed people the boat ramps were closed. But at Applegate Lake on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, boat ramps were closed by locked gates. At Diamond Lake, ''people are thinking they don't have to pay, but they're still using the boat ramps and parking lots,'' said Rick Rockholt, manager of the Diamond Lake Resort. ''And as far as I know, no one's been hassled.'' The resort remains open, although it operates under a U.S. Forest Service permit. Crater Lake Chief Ranger Curt Dimmick said rangers were catching about a half-dozen people a day inside the park, and escorting them out. ''People for the most part are cooperative and understanding,'' Dimmick said. ''In some cases, though, they're actually moving the barrier and driving through.'' Jim Buck, the Corps of Engineers' Rogue Basin operations manager, says facilities around Lost Creek Dam are officially closed, but they are not telling people who walk in to fish or boat to leave. That was fine with members of a kayaking class from Southern Oregon University, who recently took their kayaks under a locked gate to get to the boat ramp on the Rogue River near the Cole Rivers Fish Hatchery. ''Nobody seems to know what's shut down, why and the specifics of it,'' said 21-year-old SOU kayaker Luke Renard of Medford. They kayakers could have put in legally a half-mile downstream at Casey State Park's ramp, which is open. But they chose to operate on the idea of no harm, no foul. ''What we're doing, technically, is trespassing?'' said Jess Huntley, 21, of Ashland. ''I didn't know that. But we're still going to go.'' When a white vehicle drove by, Huntley thought they were busted. ''Did you see that U.S. government truck drive by?'' he said. ''This is supposed to be closed, but that guy didn't do anything.'' ——— Information from: Mail Tribune, http://www.mailtribune.com/ Vandals prompt restrictions on Nevada reservation RENO, Nev. (AP) — A northern Nevada tribe is considering plans to protect sacred sites on its reservation after vandals spraypainted gang symbols and graffiti on a landmark feature. The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe closed off public access to the prominent Pyramid and Great Stone Mother tufa rock formations on the lake's remote east shore after the latter's vandalism two years ago. Tribal Chairman Elwood Lowery said extensive vandalism is prompting the tribal council to consider a permanent protection plan for all cultural sites on the reservation, about 30 miles northeast of Reno. The plan might involve a permit and fee system, he said, and only allow escorted tours of photographers, historians, scientists and the public to the sites. In the meantime, only tribal members are allowed to visit the Pyramid and Great Stone Mother. ''Vandals have caused an incredible amount of damage to our heritage over the years,'' Elwood told The Associated Press. ''We're denying access to the sites until we develop a program to protect the area. All options are on the table.'' Explorer John Fremont gave the lake its name when he named the pyramidshaped rock formation on the desert lake's east shore. He and his party camped near the Pyramid in January 1844 and were the first white men to visit the lake. The Great Stone Mother, which resembles an Indian woman sitting down near a basket, figures prominently in Paiute legend. According to legend, she wept so long for her missing children that she filled the lake with her tears before turning into stone. Eugene Hattori, curator of anthropology at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City, told the Nevada Appeal that petroglyphs on the reservation are a national and international treasure and also need to be protected. Some date back between 10,000 and 18,500 years, he said. ''Some of the vandals have removed parts of the petroglyphs with diamond saws and have decorated their fireplaces and backyards with the carvings,'' Hattori told the Appeal. ''This must be stopped at once ... (The petroglyphs) must be protected at all costs.'' Elwood said the tribe has stepped up patrols of cultural sites, but it's difficult for tribal police and rangers to cover such a huge area. The reservation encompasses 740 square miles. The dirt road leading to the Pyramid and Great Stone Mother will remain closed to the public at least until the tribal council acts on a protection plan, which could take a few months, he added. Boaters are required to keep 1,000 feet away from the rock formations.
