Maybe the winner knows who they are, and we can't wait to announce it, but you'll have to wait until this hiding place is revealed. In the meantime, we have 2 EPIC WHEEL SPINS to go. ONE ULTIMATE SASQUATCH HUNTER and a WHOLE lot of Explorers to celebrate! And honestly, what better way to celebrate than my current hiding place. It makes a Tuesday, a Wednesday a Thursday a little extra special. There is no one more consistent then my new friend Holly who welcomes visitors 6 days a week. I hope you'll come find US if you haven't yet, because boy is being here a treat! 🥳🤩😝

Over the last two seasons, there’s been a trip so legendary, only a Bigfoot could be the guide.
This abstract tells part of Carl’s story. Look closely and you’ll find hints of the incredible places, adventures and characters he’s encountered across the Southern Smokies over the last two seasons.

But there’s a catch.

Only ONE of these symbols has yet to be discovered.

Two seasons.

One ending.

One final hiding spot.

One final Ultimate Sasquatch Hunter.

The last hunt begins TODAY at 3 PM.
Carl’s final hiding place is open Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM, and closed Sundays.
Study the artwork. Follow the clues. Then come find me, Explorers.

The final hunt starts now.

Not sure where I went last year? You could watch back. Or just ask Ultimate Sasquatch Queen of 2025 Toni Messer

One way to discover where I will be starting this Tuesday at 3. Is to narrow down where I have already been this season. This is my last hiding spot... there might be a reason for the pattern. 🤔 let me know the type of clue you'd like to see, something that will help you find me but won't be too easy - Carl

HIDING PLACE #7 REVEALED: WAYNESVILLE SODA JERKS!

Well, Explorers... you found me AGAIN.

And this time, you caught me at Waynesville Soda Jerks!

I got to sneak behind the scenes, see how these North Carolina-made sodas are created, and MAYBE lend a Bigfoot hand with a batch or two.

A BIG Sasquatch thank you to my Jerk Family at Waynesville Soda Jerks for letting me hide out with them!

Now I gotta know: What’s your favorite flavor?

I’m waiting VERY patiently for Apple Soda to come back, but Ginger? That’s my go-to.

If you haven’t stopped by Waynesville Soda Jerks yet, go visit my friends, grab a soda right where it’s made and tell ’em Carl sent ya.

NOW...

Explorers, we have ONE. HIDING. PLACE. LEFT.

I arrive at my FINAL hiding spot Tuesday, September 8 at 3 PM.

And I know some of y’all are watching that clock because there are MULTIPLE Explorers who have found me at every stop this season.

The first eligible Explorer to find me at the final location and complete the check-in will earn the one and only title of...

2026 ULTIMATE SASQUATCH HUNTER.

But EVERY Explorer can still play!

Missed a hiding place? Just joining the hunt? Find me at my final spot, check in and you can still qualify for the FINAL PRIZE WHEEL SPIN.

And speaking of that wheel...

Next Friday, I’ll spin for the winner from Waynesville Soda Jerks!

That means there are THREE PRIZES left:
The Waynesville Soda Jerks wheel spin.
The final hiding place wheel spin.
And the Ultimate Sasquatch Hunter prize.

And somehow... BIGFOOT MYSTERY SOUP is STILL lurking on that wheel.

I’m starting to think y’all are scared of it.

Your FINAL clue is waiting in the video.

Tuesday, September 8. 3 PM.

COME FIND ME, EXPLORERS!

Hello friends, you might be able to use your eyes, or print this and use a marker, Only one route leads to me this week! "You do NOT have to be over 21 for this place, I'm made in the same space, born and raised with a town of my own 'name'."

Fun fact, some hunters last year came looking for me here, they didnt find me here but I was somewhat near. Hehehe

Dear hunters. Are you coming to find me this week or next?
I want to make sure you have the best fresh, local, ingredients to keep this hiding place refreshing.

⚠️Unlike the Smoky Mountains portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway (which doesn't have detours anymore and can be a great part of your journey👏).
I did take a slight detour this week, landing me in my hiding place a day behind schedule. I had to go to the Foot Doctor, good news; they said as long as I pay attention to the ingredients in my sweet treats I won't fizz out.

So my question is, are you ready to come find me for real?

When you do.
1. Take a photo with me
2. Scan a the QR code
3. Collect your token!

You will be entered in the next EPIC Wheel Spin!
Are YOU READY?

08/21/2026

So, did you find me (Carl)? And was it your first time visiting Oconaluftee Indian Village?

Don’t forget to come back for self-guided tours this November and the spooky Qualla-Ween events in October. Follow Cherokee Adventure to learn more!

We have just TWO hiding places left! Next Friday, I’ll reveal the wheel-spin winner for this spot.

If you are new, I'm taking you on an adventure throughout the Smokies of North Carolina, you can follow along.
Or become a sasquatch hunter and find a real Sasquatch.
Solve the Clues I share on my page.
Come find me,
check in using the QR code, get a one of a kind token, and you are entered in the next epic wheel spin!

HINT: In the meantime, I’ve been giving you hints about my next location for OVER A YEAR. It’s a place that fills me with the kind of Splendor I just can’t help but share.

My next hiding place is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

I can’t Twist, but I can Shout! Don’t worry. You’ll figure out what I’m Talking about...

Come find me, explorers!
