John Warn and Shari Peterson made the trip to Ohio and began the drive back to Colorado on Sunday. They said their cargo has been sparking conversations at stops along the way.

Bigfoot will make himself visible at the Sasquatch Museum, which is considered one of the top 10 wackiest places to visit in Colorado.
