Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Dennis Heryford contacted by a logger who did not wish his name made public and taken to "Abbott Hill" (not on 1:250,000 map) where there were two large footprints dried in mud on a logging spur road in a two-year-old clearcut, at the base of a fire trail. The clearcut, on private land, was surrounded by second growth and heavy undergrowth. Prints were consecutive, 46 inches apart. From the top of a small hill a trail was smashed down through 8-foot salmonberries, blackberries, devil's club and other intertwined plants the roadway where the prints were. They measured 15.5" by 6.75", with a maximum depth of 1.5". A cast was made, and a hair removed from between the toes of the left track. More tracks were found, measured, photographed and cast at the end of the spur, a quarter mile from the first prints. These were of the ball of the foot only, and were 9 feet apart. From them another trail of broken vegetation led down the hillside into a "rugged clearcut and drainage".
