That is an huge revelation to me as well. They were all, surely, tough as nails to begin with.. just as surely as the trip to the mine and cabin were hard work, the work in the mine was even harder work. The walk to the water was tough and at night? Tough as nails or not, forget it. Whatever happened there, they weren't going anywhere in the dark either way.

1) While it's partially out now, I wouldn't use a witnesses real name in an open forum like this. GOOD POINT AND RAY MAY NOT BE HIS REAL FIRST NAME   2) Was there a typo? You say "Joe Dokes" is 50 yo now, but this incident occurred 17 years ago when he was in high school.  SORRY FOR THE TYPO SINCE THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED 32 YEARS AGO.   3) Given that this appears to have appeared in a remote area, can you and the witness put the start point and approximate cave location on a map program and screen shot it? AT THIS TIME THE LOCATION SHOULD NOT BE DIVULGED SINCE HAVING BIGFOOTERS GOING TO THE LOCATION MAY CAUSE A HERMIT TYPE BIGFOOT TO LEAVE THE AREA AND CAVE.   4) Would "Joe Dokes" be willing to put you (as an investigator) in contact with witness #2 (John or Jane Doe) so you can get a second version of the incident? DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR COMMENT   5) For the purpose of someone putting it into the SSR or another database, facts are paramount.  We have the who and what.     When - to the extent possible, date and time, which would give seasonal information. I WILL TALK WITH THE WITNESS     Where - even a 4-digit grid would allow researchers to see if it relates to other encounters and look at environmental factors (altitude, slope face, etc.) DON'T WANT TO DIVULGE THE LOCATION AT THIS TIME     Why - what facts might allow inferences about why the Bigfoot acted that way?  NO WAY TO KNOW BUT WILL TRY What did the witness(es) observe about the cave? I WILL TALK WITH THE WITNESS    I'm sure that others will have questions as well. WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THE,

Sure.   1) While it's partially out now, I wouldn't use a witnesses real name in an open forum like this.   2) Was there a typo?

Thanks for the reply Trog and your suggestion is well suited. Could you provide specific questions and I will answer then talk with Ray. I thought that those who so desire can discuss this topic and bring up discussions on PTSD, what bigfoot's intentions were all about, was bigfoot a bachelor that lived in a carved out tunnel, or even how what about any sightings from this area. Once the discussion ceases then moving it to the bigfoot report section under the Pacific Northwest would be more beneficial for the forum members. At this time the location will not be divulged since its a special research area that could be ruined if poor researchers disturbed the area. I would like a well suited group to camp there in the near by primitive campground. Winter or Spring camping would have advantages and disadvantages.
