Park Report: NEW PHOTO EVIDENCE OF ELUSIVE DANCEQUATCH SURFACES !

  April 7th, 2014, Vancouver BC - Photojournalist and Dancequatch tracker/enthusiast Josh Mitcham claims to be in possession of the most recent, and best ever images of a live Dancequatch... taken mere hours ago in broad daylight. He captured 3 images which he has agreed to share with The Red Telephone today, in hopes that worldwide doubt of the creature's existence will fade, and people will stop making fun of him at the grocery store. 

  "I'm pretty sure it was a female, and she was worked up about something.... dancin' all over that Gazebo like nobody's business..", claimed Josh, adding "... these photos are clear as day, that's a Dancequatch. People need to stop lying to themselves, saying Dancequatches aren't a real thing. Maybe we can all learn something from the Dancequatches if we begin to accept them.".

  Mitcham plans to form the first ever Dancequatch Information and Search Crew Organization, or DISCO, focusing on the safe capture and study of a creature that many people claim is nothing more than a hot chick who knows it. "She'll be back....  I put out some neon wrist scrunchies and an ergonomic water bottle to try and lure her back... we'll see." said Mitcham, showing a confidence that we at Red Tel can only describe as... somewhat creepy.

  Does the Dancequatch exist ? Is this a hot chick ? You be the judge....

Southwestern Hospitality - Arizona Snowbirdin' 2014

  Arizona again. The northwest will be wet for the better part of 8 months. Getting a good dose of sun in the middle of all that is something special. Jersey Drew and a jeep full of fellow east coasters are on their way to the desert, Tecate sales skyrocket in Tucson and Phoenix over a 10 day period that follows. I personally put a noticeable spike on the Popeye's Chicken sales chart for the whole southwest in the month of January. BBQ sauce......

  I took some polaroid photos on the Hasselblad but gave them all away. Reverse souvenirs. Didn't give away any memory cards though, so enjoy some of the more aesthetically pleasing moments from the trip below.  

Made it to the desert in time for the holidays.

  The blogspot site keeps messing with the saturation levels on images, and it takes a lot of trial and error to get them corrected. Aaron makes up for that in advance by easily floating into trees with a frontside nosebone.

Family home sold mid January, so long to this backyard.... onward to Phoenix.

Sun sets on the man with no flashes at Phoenix's big brother to Rosemont banks, Cactus ditch. Drew tailslides upstream on a lip that's seen buttery-er days.

  One last night of backyard campfire jams in Tempe before hitting the road for home by way of California. Always bring a guitar.

  Oakland was a quick stop due to an unexpected cold kicking my ass, so after 2 days in town I hit the road for Vancouver. 

  Big thanks to my family, Jesse Dent, Suski, Brad Westcott, Jersey Drew and his east coast crew, Cori and Alex, Patricia and Anthony, and everyone else who made this an awesome trip. 

  Whenever I look back on my 2014 winter vacation to the southwest, I'll remember one thing the most....

POPEYE'S CHICKEN IS THE BEST THING ON EARTH !!!

  Just about done uploading all the photos from my month long trip to Arizona..... I ended up with 2 different photos I really like that were shot from the same angle, so I'm giving Andrew Mclaughlin a moment in the sun as a preview of the imagery to come. Crail, Phoenix. 

  Drew, Dan V, and their friend Kevin make an appearance in this clip with Fred Gall, skating their local Newark DIY spot. Crusty !

GIANT PLATINUM PYRAMID DISCOVERED !!!

CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE !

 Breaking News ! - Giant Platinum Pyramid discovered by photographer when reviewing totally sweet landscape pictures from his last road trip. 

  Aspiring mist photographer and pyramid enthusiast Adam Cassidy never thought he would look back through his mundane vacation photos and make the find of a lifetime... one that would shatter his whole  perception of what's real and what isn't really real that much. 

  "I was back at home, reviewing the photos on my camera from my road trip to Arizona and California in January, and something in one of the shots caught my eye.... it looked like a pyramid rising out of the mist !"  said Cassidy.

   "Around the border of Oregon and California, coming out of the mountains, there's a nice spot to pull off the road and take a leak.... or like, look at stuff too. So... I take a few photos and hit the road again cause' it's early and cold. I had lots of driving ahead of me."

  "I've seen all those cool news stories about the Giant Pyramids they keep finding around the world.... I guess it's just like, the right time or something. They're coming out of the ground now because the government is really blowing it and we all have to start talking to the aliens that built these pyramids so we can understand how to keep from getting radiation cancer and stuff like that."

  Cassidy's next revelation about the pyramid is even more intriguing....

  "After further inspection of the photos I was able to determine that the surface of this pyramid is clearly a thick layer of polished Stallion's Mane Platinum, most likely as thick as 100 feet on each side. At the current time it's covered in about 86 billion years (estimate) of moss and various vegetation, but it's inner-platinum energy is projected into the sky around the pyramid, clearly visible in the photos."

  Asked if he planned to investigate the pyramid, Cassidy offered...

  "I dunno. You know ? It's all the way down there in California.... I'm up here. The logistics alone are a massive hurdle in tackling this thing. I'm kinda bummed it wasn't underwater. Those ones get more attention in the news... I coulda' made some real loot if it was underwater. At least it's platinum. That's obvious, I think."

  Will the world soon be overrun with giant pyramids ? This reporter in inclined to say whatever.
