Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Nick Campbell and four other men were on a camping trip in the Trinity Alps and were having lunch at a picnic table at Cherry Flat picnic site, three miles up the Stuart Fork of the Trinity River from Trinity Alps Resort. Two of them saw a sasquatch approaching from the east, and four of them saw it spin around and go back. It circled the camp, keeping out of sight. Larry Browning almost ran into it south of the picnic table. It then ran across in front of four of them and left heading northwest, its direction of travel when first seen. This took place over about half an hour in "spurts of running and waiting" with the sasquatch concealing itself but not leaving. When it finally left it crossed the creek. The previous night they had heard something raiding the trash can and Larry Browning looked out under the side of the tent with a flashlight, catching the back of a sasquatch's head. It turned around and stared at the light, then dropped a can that was in its hand, turned back and walked off (1000370). It raided the trash two more times and took some raw bacon and eggs left out for it, but was only seen once more. They had further experiences on another trip two years later. There was old shallow snow three quarters gone, the ground was hard otherwise and they could find no tracks. They carved their names and the date on the picnic table. Two years later Campbell and most of the same group had more experiences in the same vicinity. (1000379-80) They had been back twice earlier without seeing anything.
