Why fight over what might be. If you look at the website the date of the last revision is June 24, 2009. I doubt if anyone would spend the money to do this if it was not in the planning stages. As far as Google and a reverse look-up the maps may be several months (years) out of date and a reverse look-up is only good once the number has been in the system for a while.
Why get so upset over good new, I guess we have not had enough bad news in the past month so we need to make up some.

Nice to see them come back, from a former Bigfoot owner.
Sure hope they put a proper sized queen bed in their "updated" campers (I think mine was only 74-inches, rather than the proper 80")

Personally I'd love it if Bigfoot started back up and put proper length beds and enough headroom in their campers. 80 inches or 203.2 cm for both.

It is not a hoax, I have seen BigFoot, he is real. I have some very grainy, out of focus pictures to prove it!
I believe BigFoot will appear in Salmon Arm in 2010.

I called an acquaintance who lives in Salmon Arm & told me they were starting up there, but the rumor is they have gone back out of business again, so who knows.

I just checked the Bigfoot Website and found the following on the main page :
"Big Foot Industries was sold at a Bankruptcy Auction Sale on January 25, 2009. The new owners whom are active in other businesses have decided to put this company back on the market..."

They say they are offering to sell the Bigfoot name, the trademarks, the web site, build books, the molds and drawings. No clue what they are asking for all this, but even if you were to fork out the cash for that you would still have to lay out some serious dollars in order to put it to work. I think you would be restarting a company that would take SOME time to get it's legs underneath it and HOPE the RV industry STARTS making a comeback in 2 to 3 years. Big gamble in my opinion.........
Just went and looked, I only have 27 dollars in my wallet. I'm out  .

...it's not uncommon in Canada to share precisely the same postal code with numerous other residences or businesses (i.e. industrial parks with 5, 10, 30 or more companies residing therein with precisely the same postal code). In fact, we share our postal code with **29** other residences in our development!
So, when creating maps with address, the geo-coding process (or, policy) may engage a mapping feature placing the shared postal code on the return of an address query within the *centroid* of the entire development (all stand-alone properties, not semi-detached nor apartments).
...what I'm saying is, don't panic

One thing that I have been finding is that a number of bankrupt companies have been bought out by the receivers (not the receivership company but employees or close friends). A hotel development that I was interested in buying when it went into bankruptcy was bought by a couple of the people working with the receivers, then a short time later they sold it off to another company for a major profit. To me this is not fair as they get the company at fire sale prices and make a ton on the resale blocking others from buying it at the lower price.
Sounds like this is what happened with Bigfoot. They have everything they need to have a viable company but they want to sell it again to make some money. I would love to see legislation blocking this but I know it is only a dream as it would be to hard to regulate.
