Account
Family camping by South Fork of Trinity River a few miles from Salyer, felt some animal had been around all day, at dark it came downhill and started to walk towards man, who ran and got in car. It walked right in front of the headlights. (Notes contain absolutely no description, but it must have been identified as a sasquatch sighting. Al Hodgson at that time had the witness' name.)
