Tigh Valley, Wasco Cty, Oregon
Sep 1968

Two bear hunters reported giant humanlike tracks on a sand bar of the White River just South of Mount Hood. The tracks were still wet, the trackmaker having apparently waded through the river. John Fuhrmann was unable to find them a month later, but did not doubt the report.
