Sasquatch or is it Gasquatch

 

Southeast Oklahoma is a hotbed of many urban legends of Bigfoot for decades. As of 2020 it is ranked 9th in Bigfoot sightings. Possible reasons for the high level of sightings is that there’s dense forests, rivers, and large undeveloped parts of the Choctaw & Cherokee Nations. 

So Phil Silva owned a country and western bar on the property for 30 years before he closed. But he didn’t sell he just repurposed it, making it a gas station. But he didn’t want it to be just another gas station but what to do? Well you use legend to make a difference. So Phil named his gas station, Gasquatch and the legend was born. This gas station is a minimart, cafe, car museum, and clothing store. Notable items are all Bigfoot related like: Fried “Squatch fingers”, Bigfoot hot dogs, and Bigfoot slippers. 

If you are looking for Sasquatch you are going to find in Idabel, Oklahoma. He might be 30 foot tall but its still Sasquatch! Bonus if you go at night he’s eyes light up!

See you at the next bend in the road,
