First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #269

Bob and I find tracks while out for a drive on our anniversary

17 April 2000 dusk Cottage Grove, Lane County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion drove to a familiar wooded spot near dusk and noticed impressions on an embankment. They counted six impressions extending about 20 feet uphill. They had no camera at the time, so they returned two nights later to photograph the impressions and noted measurements and lack of toe detail.
