North Bend, King Cty, Washington
Jan 1973
Account
Rob John Parker and Ron Bookwalter, both 18, were sasquatch hunting in a logged off area behind Mount Si, up past Spur 10, two miles south of Bailey Campground. Stopped at some mud in an old road and found two prints 20 inches long and 9 inches wide with a stride of 65 inches, plus one print 12 inches long and 6 inches wide, both tracks going in the same direction 10 to 15 feet apart. Pretty old, edges crumbling, not good enough for a picture. Area around all rock.
