Throwback Thursday!

This morning Bigfoot Weddings got to officiate a 23rd vow renewal!

That got us thinking...what yearly traditions do you and your spouse have (that you can say in front of almost 10k people 🤣)?

Honored to share in the 24th wedding of Christina and John this morning at Coopers Rock. Each year they renew their vows and John adds another ring to his wife's finger! We think that is a super cool tradition!

Luckily the rain held off until just after we left the overlook!

Congratulations on 24 years of marriage!

☢️ THE WASTELAND TAKES CARE OF ITS OWN.

This Saturday, the Fallout community is coming together in Weston to help our neighbors affected by flooding in Lewis and Upshur counties, and we wanted to do our small part.

We put together a $125 Fallout gift basket for the auction, featuring a Fallout Lucy bobblehead, Vault Dweller advent calendar, and a bottle of Nuka Orange — along with several of our own Thrifty Mountaineer original designs:

☢️ Vault 304
🦋 Vault Guardian Mothman
👣 Atomic Cola Bigfoot
👽 Rad Detector Flatwoods Monster

There's also a Rad Detector Flatwoods tee, Fallout mousepad, Vault 304 "Take Me Home" coffee mug, a Vault 304 bottle cap and a $10 Thrifty Mountaineer online (or in store) shopping certificate tucked inside.

We'll share the event and auction QR codes here as well, so even if you can't make it to Weston Saturday, you can still check out what's happening and help spread the word, buy tickets, or donate to the recovery efforts!

Cryptid Trivia Time!

Stories of this creature lurking in the blue holes and underwater caves near Andros Island in the Bahamas have been told since 1836!

It has the body of an octopus and the head of a shark and creates whirlpools with its breath!

Fisherman and Zoologist Jeremy Wade once explored the legend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnWg7hM07Qg
