First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #988

Tracks found above Hills Creek Reservoir

August 2004 evening Oakridge, Lane County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness was on a multi-day camping and fishing trip with companions in a remote river area. While moving downstream, he found several large tracks on a sand bar near a log jam that he described as larger than his own foot. Shortly after, while returning to the trail to tell his companion, he heard three loud thudding sounds likened to stomping, became frightened, and later avoided camping so far out.
