I managed 2 more trips into the woods over the last 3 weeks. The first was on Dec.17th, to a sighting location that Thomas, Alohacop, and I had investigated about 3 years ago. At that time, all we found were some track imprints on the softer gravel along the edge of the downhill side of the road, but they were badly weathered due to several days of heavy rains, so not worth casting. There was an old roadbed trail leading downhill from there, but not driveable, so I only walked about a km down it, without finding any sign at all. On my latest visit on the 17th, I found that the old road had been reactivated for some logging on the hillside between the main FSR and the lakeshore, about 4 km below. The new logging show ended about 2km down the hill, and the route reverted to the older, much rougher roadbed, badly rutted by flowing water over the years, which slowed me to a low range crawl in the H3. Another km down, I came to a Toyota 4Runner stuck on a short, slippery climb out of a creek crossing. The young and new to 4 wheeling driver had spun out trying to climb the slick hill, and slid backwards into the left hand bank of the narrow cut through the creek bank. Now he couldn't go forward or backward, and he and his lady were standing in front of the truck trying to figure out how to get out of there. I introduced myself, and then had a good look at his situation. I couldn't get past him to pull him forward, so I suggested that we rig a tow strap to the rear corner of his truck that was jammed into the bank and to the front of my H3 so that I could pull him sideways allowing him to then back down into the solid gravel of the creek, where we could both turn around and drive out He had his own strap, so I let him rig it, then gave a slow low range pull to straighten him up, and they were free. Since it was now dusk, we both decided to call it a day and drive out. I saw nothing of interest on the way in or out. The second outing was today, Boxing Day, Dec 26th. My oldest son had asked to join me for a trip over the holidays, and we asked a mutual friend, Mike, who isn't a 4 wheeler, to come along. We chose to explore a ridge between a river valley and a good size lake. I had only checked out a few of the lower trails in this area in the past, so this time we chose to find one that climbed higher along the ridgeline. We found what we were looking for, and were rewarded with some great views over both the Fraser Valley and the Chilliwack River Valley. we turned around when we got to the snowline, as I wasn't in the mood for mounting chains, which would be needed due to the very narrow trail with near vertical drop off on the downhill side. Once again, no tracks or scat was found, but we all got some great photos of the valleys below, including a section of the Chilliwack River covered in low cloud for several km. Mike was blown away with the views, and is already talking about trading his 2wd F150 for a 4x4. !! I'm having trouble downloading photos to this site right now; I'll try again later. Here's a link to a video that Mike shot: https://fb.watch/pc5tBryXh-/

Hello, I’m from North Carolina and have heard a few noises and seen things (as well as doing my own research online) that have lead me to believe in the Sasquatch as a biological animal and I am interesting in hearing others sightings and learning from others as well as sharing my own experiences here :)
