I am really pleased to see that the new town council has adopted the sasquatch ethos. This is truly welcome. North Bonneville is the location of a sasquatch presence on Christmas Eve, 1998 when my father found seventeen inch sasquatch tracks in his backyard. I was there at the time and inspected the tracks myself. They were eight inches wide at the toes and impressed four times deeper into the snow than my own prints. I weighed 195 pounds at the time.

Several years later I saw the identical tracks in photos taken by Robert W. Morgan at Buncombe Hollow, Skamania County in 1975. It is remarkable that 23 years later the same creature was still in the county without being detected.

Several members of staff at North Bonneville City Hall have seen a sasquatch including one witness who watched an eight footer walk across State Highway 14 in three steps. The city’s chief of police and his grandmother were harassed by another sasquatch in the environs of Beacon Rock.

Now that North Bonneville has created the sasquatch sculptures I hope it does become a centre for sasquatch interest. North Bonneville is just a few miles from Stevenson where the annual Bigfoot Daze are held and where on April 1, 1969 the county commissioners made it an offence to harass or harm a sasquatch.

Good luck to North Bonneville on this venture and I hope visitors to Cryptomundo will visit this beautiful city and take in the attractions nearby including the incredible Hot Springs Resort and the Skamania Lodge. Nature trails abound and the southern portion of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest – location of numerous sasquatch sightings – is just north of Stevenson.
