Class B First-hand BFRO #22742

Hikers hear possible vocalizations near Cascade Locks along the Columbia River

9 April 2001 night, about 11:50 PM Cascade Locks, Hood River County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were packing up after a late cookout at a park community kitchen when they heard a loud 10-second shrieking yell from a ridge across the creek. A short time later they heard a second similar yell from close behind the kitchen. Unable to identify the sounds, they locked themselves in their truck and left leftover food behind.
