Incident #1000913
Port Angeles, Clallam Cty, Washington
1980's
Account
John Christman and a woman went on a hiking (sasquatch hunting) trip in the Olympic Mountains. Scouting around the area near their first camp she found 16-inch, humanlike tracks in dirt. These were followed to an outcropping of rocks which the creature apparently climbed. Christman went around and was able to find the tracks again above the rocks and continue tracking for a considerable distance until the trail was lost in hard terrain.
