First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #282

Mike Jay finds tracks, describes which areas in Oregon are best for Bigfoot research

Oregon Bigfoot date: 1985 -ish McKenzie Bridge, Lane County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The writer reports finding a long stretch of barefoot footprints in deep dust on a logging road off the main thoroughfare in the Scott Creek area during a deer outing about ten years earlier. The prints were described as only slightly larger than human feet but with width disproportionate to length, no arch, and toes out of line, traits the writer associates with Sasquatch prints. The writer notes the prints could have been human, joking that would have required someone walking barefoot in an October rainstorm.
