First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #8

Oregonbigfoot.com investigation yields large impressions in snow on Poopanelly Creek near Molalla River

17 February 2002 Afternoon Molalla, Clackamas County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

Two investigators drove into the Molalla River Basin to follow up on a prior mountain report but were blocked by snow from reaching Goat Mountain. While hiking from a bridge where snow remained, they found four very large, widely spaced impressions with only tire-disturbed snow beyond them. They photographed the impressions and recorded dimensions and stride, noting melt distortion and lack of toe detail.
