description: The recent earth-shaking announcement by Melba Ketchum that Sasquatch DNA has finally been sequenced emerges from a years-long study of hair blood and tissue samples obtained at various habituation sites-places with which members of this primate species have become familiar.Until very recently our only publicly shared knowledge of Sasquatch came through reports of chance encounters and fleeting glimpses by eyewitnesses as well as the rare piece of video or film footage. Yet meanwhile throughout North America certain people have been patiently and privately building a much more nuanced long-term understanding seeking-in the great and humane tradition of Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey-to learn from this evasive shrewd and tricky hominid race.Now Impossible Visits fills in this background story-the groundbreaking work of ordinary (and unsung) human beings who have experienced and fostered sometimes for decades consistent Sasquatch visitations to their homes and properties. This species has survived alongside Homo sapiens down through the eons thanks to enormous stealth maintaining a necessary margin of physical distance. The habituators have succeeded not in bridging this distance but in establishing a rapport that allows for the regular exchange of food and gifts and even occasional clear daylight sightings.One by one and in concert these accounts will help to assemble a solid highly textured infrastructure of knowledge against the day when a specimen body is harvested-as nearly transpired in the 2010 Sierra Kills incident. At this time the media will attempt to spike ratings by provoking hysteria among the general It's Rise of the Planet of the Apes...FOR REAL!But dead giants tell no tales so the key will be for a variety of level-headed sources to exist where all accumulated insight can reveal the intelligence and civility of our zoological cousin helping to erect a legal barrier between Sasquatch and its would-be trophy hunters.Impossible Visits is the only book to open windows onto multiple habituation sites to show-through rich first-person testimonials and the author's own field notes-the nature and behavior of these fringe-dwelling neighbors.
