Grandson relates grandparents' accounts in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest

The grandfather was walking the perimeter of a family property and stopped by a creek where he encountered an intensely foul odor described as rotten meat and body odor.

The grandfather's dogs were unusually apprehensive, and the submitter suggested the odor came from a bigfoot.
