No chance it couldn’t possibly be known about.

We know for a fact that Lyle Laverty was directly involved in the Patterson-Gimlin film event as a witness to trace evidence at the site, was among the first people in the scene after the filming event, took photos of the footprints himself, was a government official at the time, and eventually rose through the ranks of government to a near cabinet level position: http://jkagroup.com/about/lyle-laverty-bio.htm# There are also indications that Laverty had his own sighting near Hyampom, and found a nest near the PG film site at Scorpion Creek/Lonesome Ridge.

Not really sure about the legal issues that might be at stake. But at the conclusion of his presentation, he was doing a Q&A session and I asked if he had actually spoken to park rangers, game wardens, or law enforcement officers in that area. I was curious to know about any stories or actual experiences that they might have heard about or had. He said he had and then went on to elaborate that he had spoken to - IIRC - an intern that was working at a ranger station there at Mt. Hood NF. This person claimed to have seen an unofficial form for the employees there to fill out if they themselves had a Bigfoot sighting. Again IIRC the intern had seen the form in a trash can in an office and I think Cliff said he was trying to get this person to either get a copy of it or to take a photo of it. Very interesting because I'm 99.9% sure that Cliff wouldn't have mentioned it unless he was fairly certain that he was being given good factual information.

I went to Expedition: Bigfoot! (in Cherry Log, GA) back in February 2018 to check out a presentation by Cliff Barackman. Cliff was very engaging and his presentation was very interesting; at the conclusion of it, he mentioned that he was going to be conducting expeditions in Mt. Hood National Forest later on in the year. He went on to explain that these expeditions were legally permitted through the US Forest Service. Here's the link to his website with the details, I haven't seen anything mentioned about results of those expeditions or if he is continuing with them in 2019.

I wish I could send it to you, but I gave it to somebody many years ago.......1982, I believe. I believe this is the book: https://smile.amazon.com/Search-Bigfoot-Monster-Myth-Man/dp/0671804421/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1548260151&sr=1-2&keywords=peter+byrne+bigfoot

Obviously my joke fell flat. Umm yeah....I got the reference. And I've done it. Nevermind. :-)
