The Original Tree Hugger!
I read somewhere (on the internet) that a Sasquatch ran up and hugged a tree to avoid being detected. That certainly makes sense. I’ve demonstrated in this column how difficult it is to recognize anything in the dense foliage of the woods. I took a photo of my husband back under thick trees about 20 feet away. For the second photo I ask him to pull his cap down to cover his face and put his hands behind his back. He was all in black and the same distance away in the second photo. It was impossible to recognize exactly what he was. So, there is no wondering why we Bigfoot enthusiasts cannot come up with a clear photo of one of these beasts.
If you’ve thought about taking a camera and bushwhacking through the wood’s thick underbrush searching for this animal─don’t. According to author Ivan T. Sanderson the best way to search for the animal is to take a stand and simply wait.

UST THIS last week I had two people tell me of sightings. The first was in a clear cut above their home near Sutherlin. The couple was working in their yard when the man called his wife and said, “What do you think that is up there?” She went for the binoculars and focused in on the animal. A very large furry animal was scrubbing its back against a tree. When finished it walked off on two legs. It never dropped to all fours. The couple concluded that they’d seen a Bigfoot.
The second sighting that was told to me took place several years ago in northern California. A couple lived high up on a mountain and parked their car down below on a flat area. Walking to their car they passed a stream. There at the stream was a Bigfoot. The husband put out a hand for his wife to not continue on to their car, but she did. The Bigfoot rose up, bent and picked up a log and threw it at her.
