Incident #1000719
Cougar, Skamania Cty, Washington
Aug 1965
Account
Charlie Erion told Roger Patterson in July 1966 that he had seen sasquatch tracks, 19" by 6" with 66" stride in Ape Canyon in August, 1965. When Ron Olson did the computer interview he gave the date of the tracks as July, 1966, but this cannot be right. Elevation given is 8000 feet, but canyon didn't go that high.
