I really do hope that one day, in his dying breaths, He will ask anyone he holds dear to put his bed near the lakeshore. Minutes pass, and an amazing thing no one will ever dare to imagine happen. A dozen of swaying long necks dancing along the sunset. The biggest and probably the oldest one slowly swims toward the man, with friendly eyes of an old friend. In his final moments of his life, he pats that creature's nose, answered by a set of jaws enfolding around him.Now he shall lives on in the great Loch, together with his lifelong friends.

I can empathize. I drive through a large forested park on occasion looking for Bigfoot. It's an area that has a sightings history, but I don't really expect to see one and am not sold on whether the creature exists. The fun is the search in a peaceful setting that has many other animals you can spy and _just maybe_....
Rock on, Nessie Man!

There was a movie about a boy who befriends Nessie when he was little. It's starring Alex Etel. Maybe it's inspired by this guy. edit: movie title: Water Horse: Legend of The Deep

Btw is it safe to play and swim in the Loch Ness water?

[Brocowich]

Living the dream but he is still a crazy person

[David-lugq]

I do hope his patience pays off, over here in Ireland we have a couple of our own Loch monsters, but I do doubt it's existence. Regardless it is always interesting.

[BallerDan]

It's only a dream come true if you find it. Otherwise, you've spent your entire life staring at a lake.

Plot twist : Nessie went to America saw the schools felt like it should’ve educated and dies in a school shooting
