Incident #1000370
Weaverville, Trinity Cty, California
Apr 1966
Account
Larry Browning was on a hiking trip in the Trinity Alps with four other men, sleeping in a tent three miles east of where four of them saw a sasquatch the next day (1000369) when Browning heard something dumping out their trash can only 20 feet from the camp at 2 a.m. He woke the others, who heard it too, then he looked out from under the tent side and with a flashlight "caught a sasquatch in the back of the head. It then turned around and stared at the light, dropped a can in its hand, turned back around and just walked off." No description given.
