Bigfoot Adventures Gary Swanson

After retiring in southern Oregon, we began hiking through the spectacular scenery and taking photos for later reminiscences and records for return trips. That led us to introducing a unique guide to our favorite hikes with a link to over 1,800 online color photos. That book is entitled "Hiking Sasquatch Country" and it contains commentary as well. Not too long after starting this project, we had our first encounter with Sasquatch! Our next surprise came when due to our amazement at this event, we began talking to other hikers we met on the trails about our venture, and that's when we learned just how very many people out there who have had sightings and encounters, but who seldom talk about their experiences for fear of others questioning their sanity! That started a series of published reports from people who began sending us their accounts of their personal experiences with the Bigfoot/Sasquatch, with the promise of confidentiality. We are pleased to announce our latest collection of personal experiences by those who have encountered Sasquatch. They shed new light on the subject of hibernation and we are becoming even more certain that the Bigfoot likely does so in colder climates, but perhaps not in warmer parts of the country with more mild winters. The majority of the encounters in this book come from the Pacific Northwest, but there are also stories from Montana, Minnesota and British Columbia. We take them in order of receipt out of fairness. Many gold miners, hikers, hunters and those living on rural properties have had experiences and sightings with these elusive creatures, and they want to share their stories with you.
