Department of Natural Resources tree-planting crew views two animals walking upright near Home Valley

April 1980 morning Between Carson And Home Valley, Skamania County, Washington 7 witnesses

Account

In spring 1980 the witness was working with a tree-planting crew on state land along the Columbia River when the crew noticed two upright figures walking side by side in a valley below. The crew first thought they were bears but rejected that because the figures walked upright in stride. The pair continued walking together for a long distance while the crew watched.
