Incident #1000380
Weaverville, Trinity Cty, California
Apr 1968
Account
On camping trip near Stuart Fork, Trinity River, in Trinity Alps, according to Nick Campbell, Larry Browning was hiking alone eight miles west of their camp (presumably the Cherry Flat camp where they had seen a sasquatch two years before) when he was followed for half an hour or more by a female sasquatch, which then charged him, but fled into the bushes when he fired a shotgun slug over her head. The day before, April 6, Browning had seen a sasquatch at 10 p.m. wading in the river. (1000382) This was presumably at their camp, as was a sighting two days later by Mike Melton (1000379)
