Getting Closer to the Berkshires’ Bigfoot
The big rats that I introduced you to yesterday on our quest to find the Berkshires’ Bigfoot, told us we should visit the Natural Bridge State Park. Not being experts, such as myself, the big rats suggested that perhaps the natural marble bridge may hold the secret to where Bigfoot is hiding. Sure it was […]
