That is true, but it also helps explain the increase in reports over the past 75 years, which have been our road building years. Indeed, I'm older than our interstate highway system, created during the Eisenhower administration.
For example, there are historical sasquatch reports going back to pre-European contact in the Bluff Creek area, but it wasn't until the USFS opened logging leases in the region in the 1950's, and built logging roads throughout the area, that the real action began there. Thus that area bordered by US199 to the north, US101 on the west, US96 to the south, and I5 on the east was opened like a can of sasquatches just 70 years ago.......maybe two sasquatch lifetimes? And within 20 years, the sasquatches either got real good at avoiding people, or most left.
Of course, it helps now that the logging roads are closed during winter when tracks in the snow can be so easily found............
