Citizens' band radio broadcast reported by listener at Incline Village, Nevada to Nevada Highway Patrol, two campers said they were "in the Iron Mountain area" and were being "harassed by a male and female Bigfoot." They said two creatures about 8 feet tall and hairy wandered into their camp, were scared off by several shots in the air, but came back. Report was passed on to Shasta County sheriff's office because there is an Iron Mountain (small town) in Shasta County. No such incident was reported directly to authorities.
