Incident #1000993
Lakeview, Lake Cty, Oregon
Dec 1966
Account
Mrs. Moon quoted Ed Kenosky as saying that when he was cutting Christmas trees his Alsatian dog came kiyiing out of the bush and leaded on his snow cat. He looked up and saw a big upright creature which threw a rock and hit the snow cat. She thought he said it was hair-covered. Next day he and others returned and found large tracks in the snow. William Hickey Jr., Lakeview, said the "tracks" were just snow fallen from trees, but Ben Loft said that he had seen the dog acting terrified and that the tracks resembled "Bigfoot casts" and showed a regular four-foot stride. No note of location in relation to Lakeview. South Warner Valley Mountain Range is mentioned, but is not on map.
