Possible Sasquatch wood knocks in forested riverbed beside Chama during lockdown

July 2020 morning around 8-9 am Chama, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico 2 witnesses

Account

Two people were day-hiking on a trail by the Rio Chama in late July 2020. After returning a fearful dog to the car, they heard loud resonant knocks nearby that were answered by lighter-toned knocks from farther away. Believing the sounds were exchanging responses, they decided to leave the area.
