Incident #1000989
The Dalles, Wasco Cty, Oregon
1965
Account
Miss Dalene Brown wrote to Roger Patterson referring to three sightings in the same location, a gravel pit west of The Dalles, presumably beside the main highway to Portland. In two cases the sasquatch was sitting down. Brown tells of driving by with a girlfriend at twilight, with both of them seeing a sasquatch sitting behind some rocks; and of a girlfriend of hers seeing the creature sitting staring at her as she walked by. Both sightings were in 1965. See 0029 for the third report.
