Willow Creek, California: Bigfoot Motel and Cage

When in Bigfoot country, do as cryptid tourists do -- stay at the creature's motel, pose with his parking lot iron cage of incarceration, and sample the town's many Bigfoot pleasures.

We just returned from Willow Creek. The Big Foot Exhibit inside the China Flat Museum is still intact. There are three large wooden statues of Big Foot along the Main Street, and that includes the huge one outside of the museum. But down the street behind the Big Foot Motel is a large iron cage which I understand from the motel owner once housed a replica of the hairy monster. While the creature is gone, the cage exists and is worth stopping by to see.
