See Kennewick man’s Travel Channel show on Bigfoot starting this weekend

A Kennewick man will make his Travel Channel debut as the series “Expedition Bigfoot” airs its first episode at 10 p.m. Sunday.

The TV show, with Russell Acord as a cohost, is billed as part investigative, part adventure series.

Acord, a retired Army sergeant and Hanford worker, was part of a team of four that headed into the deep woods of central Oregon this past summer in search of Bigfoot, or at least evidence of the legendary creature.

The promo for the show says that “possible nesting sites, footprints and vocalizations lead the team to a hot spot where inexplicable events occur and one of the greatest pieces of video evidence in Bigfoot history is recorded.”

Acord has been curious about Bigfoot since he was a child living near the Montana forest.

He has written two novels featuring Bigfoot and also has organized several years of the International Bigfoot Conference in Kennewick.
