Forever on Our Mind: Live Event Announcement!
Announcing a live book talk about Bigfoot—and where to find him on your next outdoor adventure!

Hi, friends! I’m taking a break from my “1,859 love letters” project to invite you to a fun event that I’m co-hosting with Salt Hotel & Pub in Ilwaco!
On March 7, 2025, I’m going to speak about 5 Trails Where You Might Find Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest!
The one-hour talk, taking place in the hotel’s event space, will explore the elusive Bigfoot and detail where you might see this mythical creature on five hikes across the Pacific Northwest. I’ll also discuss how you might find Sasquatch at the North American Bigfoot Center near Mount Hood and at a 50-year-old Bigfoot trap in the mountains of Southern Oregon.

As an added bonus: Salt Hotel & Pub is running an awesome special for anyone attending the talk. When you book a stay through the hotel’s website and use the access code SALTYTALK, you’ll receive the following:
20% off your two-night stay—good for a Thursday-Saturday or Friday-Sunday getaway
An annual Washington State Parks Discover Pass (which you can use at Cape Disappointment State Park and Leadbetter Point State Park—both near the hotel!)
A copy of Moon Pacific Northwest Hiking, co-authored and signed by yours truly
Friendly reminder: You’ll only get the full discount and package when you book direct through the Salt Hotel & Pub website, use access code SALTYTALK, and plan your stay for March 6-8 or March 7-9!
I can’t say enough about the Salt Hotel & Pub and what it brings to the Long Beach Peninsula. The team behind the hotel has put countless hours into developing an on-site pub with local fare and fresh ingredients, designing rooms with upcycled materials, and adding decorative flourishes that pay tribute to the area’s angling past and present.
I’m excited to team up with the hotel for my second talk there—and to help attendees connect with the Pacific Northwest outdoors. I can’t wait to see you there and look forward to a fun weekend around Long Beach and Ilwaco!
See you next month!
