Sasquatch sighting in Idaho (1970)
Account
A formerly skeptical uncle on an Idaho lake boat tour saw what looked like a black bear stand on hind legs. The creature lifted a very large log onto its shoulder and walked into the woods as passengers photographed it. The captain denied it and the uncle became a believer.
