[name withheld] shows Ray BF print in asphalt at Silver Fall State Park

On July 15 the narrator joined two companions to check a friend's report of tracks preserved in asphalt on a cabin access road in a state park. They found one clear impression about sixteen and a half inches long and a second fainter impression about thirty-three inches away heel to heel. The shaded road had been paved two years earlier, and the party wet the depression to photograph it.

Bigfoot "bed" and possible tracks in duff found

The witness reported finding a large mashed-vegetation bed with a trail of very large footprints leading to it and trees broken high up. An investigator later visited the site with the witness and observed that the tracks were in duff without toe detail and that one track location would be awkward for a biped. The investigator suggested the bed could be from a bear or elk and was not enthusiastic about the site as evidence.

Forest Ranger finds broken trees, "nest", pile of dead rabbits

In mid-summer 1970 the witness was looking for a target-shooting spot in a meadow east of the Sandy River. He found birch saplings snapped off and arranged into a large nest-like structure near a pile of gutted rabbits, with a strong odor of death, unnatural silence, and a feeling of being watched. He left to find a ranger station, and one ranger returned with him, took photos, and also noted the silence and feeling of being watched.
