Account
Chris Johnson was bow hunting in a wilderness area in the Snow Peak vicinity when he came to a clearing around a pond and saw on the other side of the pond a large male sasquatch sitting against a tree, and behind it a female lying down with an infant leaning against her. They watched him and he watched them for about an hour, until he left because of approaching darkness. They did nothing except occasionally look at each other. Only description is that they had dark faces and heavy coats of dark brown hair.
